Unit types and customers served

Personal storage: for house moves, decluttering, renovations or those who need to gain space at home.
Business storage: for stock, equipment, office supplies and sensitive documents for Limerick businesses.
Student storage: designed for stays between terms, Erasmus programmes and summer accommodation changes, aimed at students at the University of Limerick (UL) and the Technological University of the Shannon (TUS).
File and document storage: individually alarmed rooms for law firms, accountancy practices and healthcare providers.

The company offers a space estimator on its website that recommends a unit size based on what the customer needs to store. Among the sizes shown are 25, 50, 75, 100 and 150 square feet or more.
