When it comes to choosing container storage, security should be your number one priority. Whether you’re storing personal possessions or valuable business assets, finding a secure and safe storage space is essential for your peace of mind.
But with so many options available, how do you know what to look for? Here, we break down the top security features every business, and individual should prioritise when selecting a container storage unit.
Security is one of the most important aspects of container storage because it makes sure that your valuables are protected. Whether you’re storing personal belongings, business assets or important documents, safeguarding these possessions against theft, damage or loss is key.
For businesses, secure storage is especially important for smooth operations and protecting stock or equipment. The ability to trust that stored items are safe allows companies to focus on their core activities without worrying about potential risks. For individuals, secure storage provides peace of mind, knowing that their belongings are protected whether for short-term or long-term arrangements.
At Big Box Container Storage, we understand how important security is. That’s why we’ve invested in state-of-the-art features to give you complete peace of mind. Here are the security features we offer all our customers, to ensure that their stored items are kept safe.
One of the most important elements of secure container storage is surveillance, and we offer 24/7 CCTV monitoring at our storage site, ensuring that every corner of the site is under watch at all times. Not only does this deter potential theft, but it also provides clear evidence if you ever need it.
Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras are a game-changer for storage facilities. These cameras track every vehicle entering and exiting the site, adding an extra layer of security. ANPR technology can help identify unauthorised vehicles and ensure only registered users access the premises.
Our storage facilities use advanced access control systems to regulate entry, no locks or keys needed. Access is through our app, meaning that only authorised individuals can access the site, significantly reducing the risk of someone getting into any storage space. You can share access codes with trusted delivery drivers, allowing them to leave parcels outside your container for you to collect, please note this is at your own risk.
Visibility is a deterrent, and it makes it easier for us to spot any suspicious activity. That’s why we’ve invested in secure fencing and floodlit yards to create a well-protected environment that discourages trespassers.
The quality of the containers themselves is just as important as the security features of the site. We use weatherproof containers designed to withstand harsh conditions, along with lock boxes for padlocks to provide an extra layer of protection against tampering.
Our vehicle tracking systems mean that you can monitor the movement of your goods in real time, meaning that everything stays accounted for. Paired with ANPR cameras, they create a great solution for protecting your assets, especially if you’re storing business items on site.
Choosing the right container storage is about more than just space; it’s about ensuring your belongings are always protected. You can rest easy knowing that your items are in safe hands, thanks to our 24/7 CCTV, ANPR cameras and physical security.
