What Perth Businesses Use It For
Commercial storage usually means a unit at a facility. That works if you rarely touch what's in it. If your stock moves every week, the drive to the unit becomes part of someone's job. A container in your yard or car park keeps the overflow a few steps from where it's sold, packed or used.
Businesses hire one for:
- Retail stock through a busy season. Bring in the extra stock early and keep the shop floor and back room clear.
- Online sellers. Get inventory out of the house, the spare room or the garage and into one locked space.
- An office or shop fit-out. Move furniture, fixtures and files out of the way while the builders work, then move them back.
- Event and hire businesses. Store gear between bookings on your own site.

How Much A 20ft Container Holds
| Measure | Figure |
|---|---|
| Space Inside | 33.2 m³ (1,170 cubic feet) |
| Outside Length | 6.06 m |
| Outside Width | 2.44 m |
| Outside Height | 2.59 m |
| Most You Can Load | 28,380 kg (payload on the data plate) |
The space and weight figures are stamped on the container's data plate. In household terms, 33.2 cubic metres is roughly a three to four bedroom home's worth of furniture and boxes.
How many pallets fit depends on their size and whether you can stack them. Rather than guess, describe your stock to Ben and he'll tell you whether one container covers it. Our guide to on-site storage for stock overflow has more on using a container for a business.
Where It Goes On A Commercial Site
The container needs a firm, level spot a bit longer than one car space, and a way for the truck to reach it. Yards, car parks, side lanes and loading areas all work. Walk your site first and check three things:
- The container won't block your own deliveries, customer parking or exits.
- A tilt tray can back straight to the spot, or there's room for a crane to lift it over.
- The spot stays usable in wet weather, so loading isn't a mud bath in winter.
Send a photo of the spot and Ben confirms the delivery method before you book. If you lease your premises, check with the landlord or centre manager first. Council rules on commercial land can also differ from residential streets, so ask your council about your zoning if you're unsure. Our guide to council approval for a storage container in WA lists the questions to ask.
Storing Stock Safely
Through A Perth Summer
A sealed steel container gets warm in summer. Over the hot months, keep heat-sensitive stock out, such as candles and some electronics. Stand stock on pallets so air moves underneath, and leave gaps between stock and the walls. Shade helps. Our guide to container heat in a Perth summer covers placement.
What Can't Go In
Stock'n Lock's hire terms rule out dangerous, illegal or perishable goods.
Insurance
Home contents policies usually won't cover business stock. Talk to your business insurer before you load the container, and tell them the goods are stock or equipment. Our guide to whether goods in a hired container are insured lists the questions to ask.
A Container On Site Or A Unit At A Facility?
Neither is right for every business.
A unit at a storage facility suits you if you rarely need the stock, you have no room on site for a 20ft container, or you want a choice of smaller unit sizes.
A Stock'n Lock container suits you if staff dip into the stock through the week, you'd rather not pay for the drive and the time to reach it, and you have a spot on site with truck access. Holding stock right through the year? See long term storage in Perth.

Can You Deliver To A Shop, Warehouse Or Office?
Yes, as long as there's a firm, level spot and the truck can reach it. Stock'n Lock delivers by tilt tray where there's a clear run in, or by crane where the container has to be lifted over a fence or obstacle. Send a photo of your site to 0416 692 022 and Ben will confirm before you book.
How Many Pallets Fit In A 20ft Container?
It depends on the pallet size and whether your stock can be stacked. A Stock'n Lock container has 33.2 cubic metres inside and is rated for up to 28,380 kg of cargo. Describe your stock to Ben on 0416 692 022 and he'll tell you whether one container is enough.
Can I Store Business Equipment In The Container?
Yes. A Stock'n Lock container on your business site suits equipment as well as stock, such as event and hire gear between bookings, or furniture, fixtures and files during a fit-out. It holds 33.2 cubic metres and is rated for up to 28,380 kg of cargo. For a large or awkward item, tell Ben its size on 0416 692 022 and he'll confirm it fits before you book. The hire terms rule out dangerous, illegal or perishable goods.
How Long Can A Business Keep The Container?
Stock'n Lock hires on 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 or 12 month terms. A short term suits a busy season or a fit-out. A longer term suits ongoing overflow and carries a lower weekly rate.
What Does Commercial Storage Cost?
Your rate depends on the hire term and how far Stock'n Lock delivers, and longer terms have a lower weekly rate. Drop-off and pickup are included, with no hidden fees. Call 0416 692 022 with your site address and term for the all-in weekly rate.
Is The Container Secure Enough For Stock?
It's a lockable, weather-proof steel container on your own site, and your business holds the key. Stock stays dry and shut away from anyone walking past. Placing it where staff can see the doors helps too.
