What Is A Storage Vault?

A storage vault is a wooden crate that helps to hold your belongings, protecting them from moisture, pests, and UV light. These crates are clamped shut to ensure a perfect seal, lowering the risk of damage to almost any item. Utilizing vaulted crates allows them to be stacked easily in a warehouse or storage facility. Packing and wrapping the items before storage can also help protect them from scratches, dents, and other damage. Vaulted storage is the best way to maximize efficiency and space for companies like Rocky Mountain Movers & Storage.

When To Use A Storage Vault

There are a variety of reasons why users may choose a storage vault for their items. Depending on your situation and the items you want to store, vaults can offer better security and protection than typical self-storage. Here are some of the biggest benefits of utilizing vaulted storage.

  • Better Security: Storage vaults are a more secure option compared to a drive-up storage unit or self-storage in a facility. The vault is private and sealed shut after your items are added, making the risk of theft significantly lower. Our setup with codes and regulated inventory ensures that only authorized team members have access.
  • Cost-Effective: While self-storage isn’t typically expensive, vaults give you better value for your money. These sealed wooden boxes are much smaller than a typical unit, and those storing them will only make you pay for the space needed to stack your crates. You will avoid paying for unused space that you experience with other storage units.
  • Best For Downsizing: Vaulted storage isn’t meant to be accessed frequently, so if you have items that need to be stored for a long period of time, vaulted storage is the best option. Storing your belongings for a long period of time when you move to a smaller home or no longer require children’s clothing, instruments, or recreational items.

You Have Questions, We Have Answers

Can I access my items while they are in vaulted storage?

Because vaults are sealed, stacked, and stored using professional warehouse equipment to maximize space, they are not designed for frequent access. If you anticipate needing to retrieve items regularly, a traditional self-storage unit (like our climate-controlled options at 700 Block Storage) is a better fit. However, if you must access your vault, please contact us in advance to schedule a time for our team to retrieve and open your crate for a service fee.

How do I know which size or how many vaults I will need?

You don’t have to guess! During your initial consultation or move-out, our trained movers will assess the volume of your inventory. One of the primary benefits of vaulted storage is its scalability; we use as many crates as necessary to fit your belongings securely. Since you only pay for the specific number of vaults used, you never have to worry about paying for the “empty air” of a large, half-filled traditional storage unit.
