Five layers between the street and your unit

Each one works on its own. Together they cover the yard 24 hours a day.

    Cameras on the container stacks record the yard around the clock.

  • Flood lights after dark

    The yard stays lit at night, so you can see your unit and the cameras can see the yard.

Fenced, gated, lit and watched

The yard sits behind steel palisade fencing and automated gates at 94 Vale Road. You get in with a PIN and the ANPR cameras log your vehicle. CCTV covers the site 24 hours a day and flood lights keep it bright after dark. Inside, your container closes with your own padlock.

Questions about security

The yard is fenced with steel palisade fencing and automated gates. Entry is by PIN code and ANPR number plate recognition. CCTV covers the site around the clock, flood lights come on at night and there is 24 hour security.
Do I need my own padlock?
You lock your own container and keep the key. We sell heavy duty locks in the office, along with boxes and packaging, or you can bring your own.
How do I get into the yard?
The gates are automated and open on your personal PIN. ANPR cameras read your number plate as you drive in and out. You do not need to wait for staff.
Is the yard watched at night?
Yes. CCTV records 24 hours a day, flood lights light the yard after dark and the site has 24 hour security.
Who has a key to my container?
Only you. You fit your own padlock and keep the key. We sell heavy duty locks in the office if you need one.
Are my goods insured while they are stored?
