Edmonton Commercial Storage Unit Benefits

U•STORE•IT discusses your business needs and tailors storage options to meet your requirements. Our commercial storage facilities provide many benefits including varying unit sizes, indoor and drive-up storage options, and shipping and receiving capabilities.

Industries Using Commercial Storage Units in Edmonton

Business storage serves diverse sectors throughout Edmonton: construction companies store their tools and materials during winter months, law firms archive their case files in climate-controlled units, restaurants keep their seasonal equipment and extra supplies secure, and online retailers manage their inventory overflow during peak seasons. Medical practices require temperature-controlled commercial storage for their sensitive equipment and records, while event planners rotate their decorations and supplies according to seasonal demand.

Commercial Storage Considerations and Limitations

Business storage units present important constraints that users must consider: maximum ceiling heights of 10-12 feet may restrict tall equipment storage, the absence of utilities means units cannot serve as active workspaces, and insurance requirements vary based on stored materials. Holiday access follows reduced operational hours, and hazardous materials require special permits for storage. Most businesses consider these limitations manageable when they compare storage units to warehouse alternatives.

Commercial Storage vs Business Alternatives

Storage option comparisons reveal clear trade-offs for businesses: warehouse leases provide unlimited access but demand 3-5 year commitments and cost $12-15 per square foot annually, while commercial storage units offer flexibility at $3-4 per square foot. Portable storage containers match similar pricing but lack climate control and security features. Office expansion costs $25-40 per square foot and involves renovation delays, which makes business storage the ideal solution for immediate, flexible needs.

Edmonton Commercial Storage Locations

Strategic business storage placement benefits commercial operations: our North Edmonton facility serves industrial businesses near Yellowhead Trail, the South Edmonton location accommodates businesses along Gateway Boulevard, and West Edmonton units provide convenient access from Anthony Henday Drive. Red Deer and St. Albert locations expand storage options for businesses that operate multiple branches or manage regional operations.

Better Space Organization

Your business can be more organized and streamlined when you use our storage unit in Edmonton to store excess items in your space.

Documentation Storage

Most businesses produce a lot of documentation and files. A business self-storage unit can eliminate this paper that needs to be archived at an affordable, climate controlled space.

Inventory Storage

Sometimes businesses have excess inventory that can crowd a warehouse or retail space. Prevent safety hazards and a cluttered appearance by using our commercial storage spaces.

Multiple Location Alignment

If you have multiple locations for your business and many team members, contact us. We can help you book units at the locations closest and most convenient for you. We have locations across Edmonton, St. Albert and Red Deer.

Managed Storage Program for Business Storage Renting

U•STORE•IT does all it can to make shipping, receiving, and storage as convenient and smooth as possible for our commercial customers. Here are some of the services which we can offer:

Business Inventory Storage

From files to excess inventory or building supplies, U•STORE•IT has units ranging from 5′ x 5′ to 20′ x 55′ for your commercial or business storage needs. We can even help you rent units at different locations to suit your requirements.

Business Documentation Storage

Keep archived business and client documentation safe when you store it in one of U•STORE•IT’s storage units. Our indoor options are climate-controlled, in a variety of sizes with limited dust to prevent damage to important archived papers.

Shipping and Receiving Solutions

With our Commercial Package Acceptance service and loading bays you can receive packages or inventory and organize it prior to storage at our facilities. Our Red Deer facility even has flex-offices and mailboxes for your convenience.

Easy Access to Your Commercial Storage Unit

Most of our commercial and small business clients are on the main level of our building for a convenient way to access your storage unit. We recommend a drive-up unit if you frequently need to retrieve items. We also have elevators, carts, and loading bays to make moving your inventory quick and easy.

Security at Our Facilities

All of our locations are open every day, including holidays, from 7:00 AM–9:00 PM. For security purposes, we also employ on-site managers at select locations and have 24-hour security surveillance on our premises to keep our customer’s units safe and protected.

A great place to store items, very helpful staff.

Good customer service. Location is great. This place seemed to be the more affordable place for storage in edmonton. At least they were cheaper than uhaul, sentinel and storage mart.
