Smart Storage Solutions for Businesses of Every Size

Running a business comes with enough challenges — storage shouldn’t be one of them. Whether you need extra room for inventory, secure space for office furniture, or a clean place to store equipment and documents, Storage Star’s commercial storage units are built to support your business operations.

From small business owners to large businesses, we make it easy to get the self-storage units you need, without the high cost of warehouse space or extra office space. Storage Star rents commercial storage units at all locations nationwide, from 5x5 lockers for files to 10x30 units for equipment and work vans.

Why Business Owners Choose Storage Star

Every business is different, and so are its business storage needs. At Storage Star, we offer flexible, scalable options that work whether you’re growing fast or streamlining operations.

Our commercial storage solutions are ideal for:

Contractor & Equipment Storage

Drive-up units for tools, materials, and equipment

• Drive-up access
• Loading docks

Inventory & Retail Storage

Overflow stock, seasonal inventory, and pallets

• Climate control

Find a Business Storage Unit Near You

Office & Document Storage

Medical, legal, and accounting offices often need to keep records for years but don't want to pay office rent to store them. A climate-controlled unit keeps file boxes, archives, and wood furniture away from the heat and humidity that cause warping, mold, and faded paper.

Most offices start with a 5x5 or 5x10 for file boxes, or a 10x10 when furniture is included. Shelving units help keep boxes off the floor and make retrieval faster.

Commercial Storage That Works for You

Here’s how our self-storage facilities help businesses thrive:

Whether you’re downsizing, relocating, or simply need additional space, Storage Star helps you keep your focus where it belongs — on your business.

Select the Best Size Storage Unit for Your Business

Unsure which storage unit size you need for your growing business? Small- to medium-sized storage units are great for storing marketing materials, boxes, and office supplies. Large to warehouse-sized storage units are optimal when you need to store equipment, pallets, inventory, and other bulky, oversized items.

Exact cubic footage varies by storage facility, so it's worth confirming dimensions before selecting your size. Also, for businesses, climate control and drive-up access matter as much as square footage, so take into consideration both storage unit size and unit features.

Ready to Reserve Your Commercial Business Storage Unit?

Whether you need a little space or a lot, we’ll help you find the right-sized unit to match your budget and business storage needs. Our friendly team will walk you through available sizes, explain features, and help you start your storage rental without the hassle.

• Moving supplies are available on-site

Climate-Controlled Storage Solutions with Storage Star

Some things in life need just a little extra care, and at Storage Star, we ensure that your belongings receive exactly that.

Whether you're storing family heirlooms, important documents, electronics, or even your favorite furniture, our climate-controlled storage options are built to protect what matters most.

When you rent with Storage Star, you're not just getting a unit; you're getting peace of mind. Our state-of-the-art temperature and humidity controls help shield your valuables from extreme heat, cold, moisture, and wear that can sneak up over time. It's protection you can feel good about, whether storing for a season or the long haul.

What is Climate-Controlled Storage?

Perfect for temperature-sensitive items, like wood furniture, electronics, vinyl records, wine, and more.

Climate-controlled storage units are maintained at a consistent temperature throughout the year. Typically, they're kept between 55 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. At Storage Star, most of our climate-controlled units are indoors, so you're also protected from the elements when loading and unloading your unit.

Climate-controlled storage units are available in various sizes, ranging from small 5x5s to large 10x30s. Some Storage Star storage facilities offer even larger climate-controlled units, great for business storage and classic cars.

Types of Climate-Controlled Storage Units

When renting, you might stumble across different types of temperature-controlled storage units. These variations are typically regional, and while climate-controlled is the most common, you should familiarize yourself with each.

Here's a quick breakdown of common climate-controlled unit types you may encounter:

Need a drive-up climate-controlled unit? Check availability at your local Storage Star facility.

Why Do You Need Climate-Controlled Storage?

Storing your belongings is about more than just finding a space. Certain items, like wood furniture, leather goods, artwork, electronics, and old photographs can deteriorate in severe heat, freezing temperatures, or high humidity.

Here are a few reasons why it might be the right move:

Protect Your Belongings from Damage

Fluctuations in temperature and moisture can cause:

• Warping or cracking in wooden furniture or leather

• Mold and mildew growth

• Corrosion in electronics

• Fading or sticking of photos, books, or vinyl records

Guard Against Extreme Weather

Climate control shields your valuables from freezing cold, scorching heat, and excessive humidity, all of which can creep in over time and cause irreversible damage.

Comfort & Convenience

Indoor, temperature-controlled units make for a better loading and organizing experience, meaning no sweating or freezing while accessing your stuff. Plus, many of our self-storage facilities offer drive-up access or drive-up storage options, so you can easily unload large or heavy items right from your vehicle.

Affordable Pricing

Climate-controlled storage is typically more expensive than an outdoor storage unit, but you can find cheap climate-controlled storage near you at Storage Star. Take advantage of discounted web-only rates and move-in promotions.

No matter your storage needs, our facilities offer secure, flexible options that adapt to your life, from short-term storage during a move to long-term protection for your most valuable items.

What Should You Store in Climate-Controlled Storage Units?

Not everything needs climate control, but it can make all the difference for the things that do. At Storage Star, we often recommend climate-controlled storage for:

• Electronics

  TVs, computers, cameras, gaming consoles

• Furniture

  Wood, leather, antique, or upholstered pieces

• Books & Photos

  Scrapbooks, albums, and collectibles

• Musical Instruments

  Pianos, guitars, clarinets

• Art

  Paintings, framed artwork, sculptures

• Collectibles

  Coins, sports memorabilia, vintage items

• Documents

  Legal records, contracts, files

• Wine & Champagne

  Especially for long-term storage or rare collections

• Vehicles

  Classic cars or motorcycles needing extra protection (see vehicle storage options)

If you're unsure whether your items need climate control, don't worry. Our team is always happy to discuss your options and help provide you with insider storage tips. Find a storage unit near you now!

Climate-Controlled vs. Traditional Storage

When choosing a unit, it's essential to understand the differences between climate-controlled and non-climate-controlled storage facilities.

Climate-controlled storage at Storage Star keeps your space at a stable temperature and humidity level, no matter what's happening outside. It's the right choice if storing anything sensitive to moisture, extreme heat, or cold.

Traditional storage units are still protected from rain, snow, and direct sun, but don't regulate the indoor environment. They're great for sturdier items like tools, outdoor gear, or patio furniture.

Choosing the correct type of storage depends on what you're storing, how long you'll be storing it, and how much protection you want for your valuables. At Storage Star, we offer both options so you can pick what's best for you!

Climate Control Storage Checklist

Use this checklist when deciding if you need climate control:

• Am I storing for more than a few months?

• Do my items include wood, leather, electronics, or paper?

• Do I live in a region with extreme temperatures?

• Is humidity or moisture a concern?

• Is my storage location indoor or outdoor?

• Do I want a more comfortable loading/unloading experience?

If you checked two or more boxes, climate-controlled storage is likely your best option.

Contractor Storage for Tools, Materials & Equipment

Your truck shouldn't double as a tool shed, and your garage shouldn't be a supply yard. Storage Star's contractor storage units give you a secure, drive-up spot to keep tools, materials, and equipment close to your job sites, without paying for a warehouse or shop space.

Whether you're a general contractor, electrician, plumber, landscaper, painter, or remodeler, you can rent a unit month to month and scale up or down as projects come and go.

What Size Storage Unit Does a Contractor Need?

Unsure which unit size fits your business? Small to medium units (5x10 to 10x10) work well for hand and power tools, ladders, and supplies for one or two active jobs. Large units (10x20 to 10x30) are best for equipment, pallets of material, and bulky items like generators, riding mowers, or a small trailer.

Still not sure? Our Storage Unit Size Guide walks through each option - and our on-site staff can also help you pick.

How Much Space Does Your Inventory Need?

Unsure which unit size fits your inventory? Small to medium units (5x5 to 10x10) work well for samples, marketing materials and a small shop's stock. Large units (10x15 to 10x30) are best for pallets, seasonal overstock and bulky products.

Still not sure? Our Storage Unit Size Guide walks through each option - and our on-site staff can also help you pick.

Tips for Running Inventory Out of a Storage Unit

A little setup goes a long way. A well-organized unit makes restocking and order picking faster and keeps products in sellable condition.

1. Install freestanding shelving along the walls and leave a center aisle
2. Label shelves by SKU or category so anyone on your team can pick orders
3. Keep fast-moving products near the door and slow movers at the back
4. Store boxes off the floor on pallets or shelving
5. Choose climate control for anything sensitive to heat, cold, or humidity

Are there indoor storage units for watercraft?

Yes, our indoor drive-up units are perfect for storing jet skis, kayaks, and PWCs of all sizes. We offer both indoor boat storage units, outdoor covered parking, and vehicle storage to fit your storage needs.

What size storage do I need for a jet ski?

Most jet skis fit in a 10’ x 10’ drive-up unit, but larger models or trailers may require a 10’ x 15’ or larger. If you have multiple jet skis or need to store your jet ski trailer, you’ll need a larger unit. Measure your craft with the trailer for the best fit.

How do I prepare my jet ski for storage?

Clean and dry your jet ski, fill the gas tank, disconnect the battery, and use a quality cover. Drain any water from the engine, flush the system, and add fuel stabilizer and antifreeze if you’re planning for long-term storage.

Are covered parking spots available?

Yes, we offer covered parking spaces for jet skis and trailers, providing sun and weather protection with easy access. We still recommend using a jet ski cover to keep your watercraft better protected.

Can I access my jet ski or PWC at any time?

Most of our storage facilities offer extended or 24/7 access hours, so you can pick up or drop off your jet ski whenever it’s convenient.
