Details

Multistore containers are a smart, space-efficient solution for self storage operators looking to maximise limited site space while increasing revenue potential.

By dividing a single container into multiple individual storage units, they allow you to generate more income from the same footprint without expanding your site. Manufactured from high-quality Corten steel, our bespoke Multistore containers are built for long-term durability and performance. Designed to withstand harsh environments, they are fully wind and watertight, providing reliable protection for customers’ belongings in all weather conditions.

Purpose-built for self storage use, Multistore containers combine robust construction with practical design, making them ideal for high-demand locations where space, flexibility, and return on investment matter most.

Increase Self Storage Revenue with Multistore Containers

Get four customers in one container and significantly increase your self storage site’s earning potential with Multistore containers.

A standard 20ft shipping container rented as one unit typically generates around £40 per week. By comparison, a 20ft Multistore container divided into four individual storage bays can achieve £15–£20 per room per week, delivering £60–£80 per week from the same container footprint. This simple conversion can increase revenue by up to 60%, without requiring additional land or major infrastructure changes.

Designed specifically for self storage operators, Multistore containers split a single 20ft container into four secure, self-contained storage units, each with its own access door and lockbox. Two sets of cargo doors are positioned along the container’s long side, allowing all four units to operate independently with no shared access areas.

Multistore containers are ideal for attracting customers who need smaller, more affordable storage space-a high-demand segment that often delivers faster fill rates and higher occupancy levels. By offering greater flexibility and more unit choice, operators can reduce void periods, broaden their customer base, and maximise revenue per square metre.

Whether you’re expanding an existing container site or optimising underused space, Multistore containers provide a space-efficient, low-maintenance way to boost capacity, improve customer choice, and increase rental income-all from one smart container conversion.
