How To Store Your gobox

Follow these tips to make the most of your space and keep everything safe and secure in storage.

Plan Your Space

  • Pack carefully and leave air space around the perimeter to aid ventilation.
  • Use all the available space, especially height.
  • Don’t lean items against the walls.
  • Place frequently used goods near the door for easy access.

Protect the Base

  • Place protection on concrete floors for mattresses, soft furnishings and books.
  • Position soft cloths or cardboard underneath mattresses, couches, boxes and beds.

Stack Safely

  • Place large, heavy, stackable and valuable items at the rear, then work forwards and upwards with lighter, fragile items.
  • Check everything is stacked safely and not too high – falling items can injure you or be damaged.

Long Items

  • Stand long items such as mattresses, beds and table tops on their edges along the walls.

Couches & Mattresses

  • Totally enclose mattresses and soft furnishings in our specially designed Mattress and Lounge covers.
  • Where possible, store couches on their ends to maximise space (except sofa beds).

Mirrors & Pictures

  • Wrap mirrors and pictures in bubble wrap or use mirror boxes – never store them flat.
  • Keep them upright and protected between softer items such as mattresses or bed bases.

Appliances

  • Clean fridges and freezers and keep their doors slightly ajar.
  • Ensure freezers and fridges are completely defrosted and washing machines fully drained.
  • Use the space inside them for extra storage.

Use Hidden Space

  • Make the most of the space inside wardrobes, cupboards, desks and other furniture for extra storage.

Easy Access

  • Pack anything you might need into the gobox last, so it sits near the doors (e.g. golf clubs).
  • Keep important documents, passports, keys, glasses and remotes together in one box near the door.

Label Boxes

  • Label all boxes on every side for easy locating.

Weight Limit

  • Maximum load is 3,000kg per gobox unit; we can't transport or relocate an overloaded unit until it's reduced.

The team at GoBox Marleston were impeccable with their excellent service and friendly approach. The rental was well explained and the pickup/drop off all went so smoothly it was no trouble at all. Cost was very reasonable also. I would definitely use GoBox again.

Absolutely fantastic experience with GoBox Mobile Storage. The entire process was seamless from start to finish and honestly couldn’t have gone any better. The customer service team was amazing, always friendly, responsive, and quick to answer any questions. Booking was incredibly easy, with fast turnaround times and clear communication throughout. GoBox provides such an innovative and convenient solution for storing your belongings during a move or renovation. Having the storage brought to you takes so much of the stress and hassle out of the process. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend GoBox to anyone needing storage. If I could give more than five stars, I would!

I had the go box in my driveway for 6 months during a house renovation. Great idea storing my furniture on-site in a very secure, water proof container. They have a great system with a remote control diesel powered small vehicle to move into any position. They were able to position hard up to my garage door in the driveway with room to move on the side to access it too. It was very easy to call and pay my many extensions to my booking over the phone in minutes. I highly recommend their storage boxes which can also be stored at their secure premises if needed as well.
