Convenient and Secure Storage in Townsville

Kent Storage Townsville for All Your Storage Needs

Kent Storage operates in sharp contrast to its self-storage competition due to its protective policies:

• We strictly prohibit public access in any of our storage facilities, unlike shared self-storage buildings where random people could access your valuables.
• Because we strictly limit authorised users, our buildings are naturally more safe than any self-storage unit.
• Our storage containers are sealed and airtight, unlike the wide-open plywood boxes that sport large-diametre wire meshes on them. Thieves, vermin, dust, and open air can easily penetrate these grates effortlessly.
• We create detailed receipts, dispatch records, inventory forms, and condition reports so you can keep track of your goods easily. With self-storage, you would have to do all the work yourself and keep the extra copies somewhere safe.
• We never use wooden boxes; we only use purpose-built containers made with reinforced steel, storing them in our state-of-the-art building monitored with round-the-clock CCTV.
• Kent Storage trains its professional packers to use industry-leading techniques to carefully and skillfully pack away your belongings. With self-storage, you are the only expert you can rely on to efficiently put away your things in a way that doesn’t damage them.

 

Kent’s Unique Four-Level Security System

We understand the significance of the amount of trust required between a storage facility and its customers. We prioritise the safety of all of your belongings for as long as you trust us to take care of them. To that end, we implement a sophisticated four-level security storage system for all Townsville customers.

 

Security Level One: Customised Wrapping

We use our personal guardian wrapping system, which includes:

• Professional packers with expert industry training
• Boxes designed to protect certain items during transport and storage
• Custom crates meant to protect valuable but fragile artwork
• Detailed inventory and labeling processes
• Use of professional blankets to wrap around larger fragile items
• Removals-grade plastic cover for additional protection of soft furniture, such as couches, mattresses, and chairs

 

Security Level Two: Purpose Built Containers

At Kent Storage, we go above and beyond and load your items directly into our containers at the pickup site. With self-storage, not only would you have to transport your belongings in your own vehicle, but your things are also at a greater risk of damage along the way. Our professionals pack away your container with state-of-the-art cranes and forklifts, allowing us to reduce the risk and cost associated with double handling.

Our containers are:

• Built with purpose, meant to safeguard your belongs in storage and in transit
• Constructed with security in mind, relying on reinforced steel for reinforced protection
• Customised for accessibility, complete with a door on either end

 

Security Level Three: Superior Storage Facilities

We are proud to have the most advanced storage facilities in the Southern Hemisphere. Our security outperforms self-storage facilities by orders of magnitude. That’s because our facilities are:

• Completely private, restricting public entry
• Climatised for natural protection
• Protected with 24/7 fire monitoring and CCTV recording
• Equipped with back-to-base alarms
• Free from natural element degradation and pests

 

Security Level Four: Storage Insurance

In our 70 years of servicing over a million Australians in Townsville and beyond, we have learned that it is impossible to prepare for every possible contingency. The fact is that your items are always at some measurable risk of loss or damage in any storage facility or during transit. Accidents through no fault of our own can occur at any time, and that’s why we developed our own transit and storage insurance for your continued protection.

Our Ultimate Cover insurance is designed to provide full protection against accidental damage loss, including incidents that occur during transit or while your items are in storage. We provide:

• New for Old: Full replacement cost for destroyed items, or a reasonable amount for repairs for damaged items. We can only provide market value insurance for clothing, motorbikes, motor vehicles, computers, computer accessories, boats, and trailers.
• Pairs and Sets: Coverage for damage to items in a pair or set, including outdoor suites
• Atmospheric and Climatic Conditions: Coverage for damage due to normal climatic conditions, including mildew.
• Electrical and Mechanical Derangement: Covers derangement or breakdown of mechanical, electrical, or electronic parts, including accidents. Motorbikes, motor vehicles, boats, and caravans are excluded from this policy.

Be sure to review our insurance brochure for more information.

Kent Storage is the perfect solution for Townsville residents looking for affordable rates and top-notch security. We have the best defense in the Southern Hemisphere and charge as little as half of self-storage rates.

What’s the secret to Kent Storage’s rock-bottom rates? We use a specialised stacking container solution to store more things efficiently without compromising safety. Unlike other storage businesses that must bill you more to cover higher overhead and property costs, we will never charge you for space that you’re not using. Self-storage facilities notoriously charge you for the entire container even if you aren’t using the whole thing. We adjust your rates when you add or remove items to your container.

With Kent Storage, you’ll get the best rates with the best storage services:

• Moving boxes and packing materials supplied by Kent Storage
• Pickup, loading, and redelivery of any or all of your contained items from anywhere in Townsville

With Kent Storage, you’ll receive several free items for even more value:

• Free professional packing blankets keep your largest, most fragile items safe in storage
• Free inventory, condition report, dispatch records, and receipts so you always know where your items are

With Kent Storage, you can save even more money because you won’t spend money on any of the following:

• The cost of renting a van to transport items
• The cost of hiring expert removalists to handle heavy items
• The cost of buying protective packing blankets and heavy-duty plastic to keep your things safe
• The cost of creating and maintaining accurate inventory records

Are you planning to move to Townsville? You’ll likely need a storage unit to keep your extra belongings while you get settled into your new place.

With self-service, you’ll rent a box and pay more for an insurance policy. You pay a fixed monthly fee that doesn’t cover any physical labor; you’re the one who has to transport your own things. On the other hand, if you choose a full-service company like Kent Storage, the company takes care of all the physical labor associated with furniture storage. All you have to do is make the payment.

Deciding between self- and full-service storage solutions requires asking a few questions.
