We have 15,000 sq ft of modern warehouse space, and stack our standard containers (see next item) 3-high, (which means we can store up to 450 of them). The photo shows part of one side of the warehouse.

Containers

• We have standardised on modern timber-construction palletised containers, with internal dimensions of 7x7x5 ft, which can take up to ¾ ton.
• Why timber? Because this is much more suitable for safe storage in modern premises. Timber containers are strong, light, and durable, lasting up to 15 years. Also, unlike the old metal containers, they don't give rise to any problems with condensed moisture—because timber containers don't "sweat".

Handling equipment

We use modern lift trucks and stackers, with very skilled operators.

Double-skinned roof

The extra insulation protects against extreme changes of temperature.

Security

Our storage facilities provide excellent physical security, being housed in strongly built modern premises. Other features:

• Fully alarmed
• Regularly checked and regularly inspected
• Up-to-the-minute electronic detectors
• Top rodent control (only one [dead] mouse seen since 2001!)
• Insurance for fire, flood, and forced entry
• Rigorously enforced "No Smoking" policy

Access

You can access your storage whenever you wish but we require a working day's notice of your visit. This is to ensure that when you come, the container concerned is in a position where you can safely gain access to it.
