Equipment Storage FAQs
Can I run my contracting business from a storage unit?
While you cannot use your storage unit as an office or workspace, many contractors use their unit as a base of operations for equipment storage, inventory management, and daily deployment. Several Morningstar locations are specifically zoned to support contractor operations with features like package acceptance and 24/7 access.
How does storage security compare to job site storage?
Morningstar's multi-layered security systems provide significantly enhanced protection compared to typical job site containers or trailers. With 24/7 surveillance and gated access your equipment enjoys protection that construction site storage simply cannot match.
What's the largest unit available for heavy equipment?
Unit sizes vary by location, with many facilities offering units up to 10x30 or larger. For specialized equipment storage needs, contact your local Morningstar facility to discuss available options for oversized equipment or custom configurations.
Can I store fuel or other job site chemicals?
For safety reasons, fuel, propane, and many industrial chemicals cannot be stored in units. However, we can provide guidance on acceptable construction materials and supplies. Many contractors store properly sealed paints, non-hazardous materials, and standard construction supplies with Morningstar Storage.
