Planning a Storage Facility Office Move

A self-storage office moves for a few ordinary reasons. A new facility finishes its permanent office and leaves the leasing trailer behind; a renovation moves the counter to the other side of the building; an operator combines two offices after buying a neighboring property. In each case the room holds two different things: the business office, with a rental counter, the manager’s desk, and file cabinets of lease paperwork, and a small shop of boxes, tape, locks, and packing supplies that customers buy every day.

We move the two as separate lists. The shop goes by product, so boxes land by size, tape and wrap by type, and locks back on their hooks, and the counter and desks go by the new floor plan. Everything customers keep in their units is outside the job. We don’t open, move, or touch any tenant’s unit, and the gate keypads, cameras, and management software stay with the operator and its vendors. Our crew handles the office furniture, the display fixtures, and boxed supply stock.

Who usually signs off
Facility operator or district manager who signs off on the office release, merchandise list, and destination layout
Timing that works
After the office closes for the day or before it opens, set by the operator around move-in rushes at month end; a second date from June through November

What typically moves

  • Rental counter and customer stools Freestanding counter sections split and padded, set to the new plan so the counter faces the door.
  • Manager’s desk and lease file cabinets Cabinets moved locked when possible; the manager keeps the keys, and the desk computer is unplugged, padded, and reconnected by our crew.
  • Flat box bundles by size Kept in their bundles and labeled small, medium, large, and wardrobe, so the display restocks in minutes.
  • Tape, stretch wrap, and mattress bags Boxed by product with the shelf tag taped to the carton.
  • Lock displays and peg hooks Locks bagged by hook row and the peg panels carried flat, so the display goes back in the same order.
  • Supply shelving and gondola sections Emptied, taken apart where needed, and rebuilt in the new shop area before stock returns.
  • Break-room and back-office furniture Tables, chairs, and a small fridge the manager has emptied.

Access and scheduling

Storage offices are busiest at the end and start of the month, when leases turn and customers move in and out, and on Saturdays. We plan for a weekday morning before the office opens or an evening after it closes, with the counter moved last and set first so customers can still pay rent and rent a unit.

The truck needs a spot near the office that doesn’t block the gate lane or the aisles where customers back up their own pickups and trailers. When the replacement office sits elsewhere on your lot, our crew often uses carts and dollies across the lot rather than loading the truck at all. Summer heat on a Florida asphalt lot is harsh, so we start early and keep cardboard stock covered between trips.

Protection and handling

Supply stock is merchandise, so it has to arrive sellable. Flat boxes stay in their bundles, travel flat on the truck floor rather than stacked on edge, and stay dry, because a rain-dampened bundle of boxes is hard to sell. Tape and wrap ride in sealed cartons. Display fixtures are padded at the corners and kept upright.

The office side gets ordinary protection: door frames padded, floor runners down across tile, and counter sections wrapped so laminate edges don’t chip. Lease paperwork stays with the manager, who packs and seals any cartons of files, and our crew moves them closed. At the new office we set the counter first, then the desks, then the shop fixtures, and last the stock, shelf by shelf.

Who does what

Some of this job belongs to other trades. The written plan names each one.

Gate keypads, cameras, and access control
The operator’s access-control vendor moves or reprograms any hardware; we don’t disconnect it.
Tenant accounts, payments, and management software
The operator and its software provider move service and test the counter terminal.
Supply counts and pricing
Your team counts inventory on both ends; we carry it product by product, shelf by shelf.

Not part of our work

  • Opening, entering, or moving anything in a tenant’s unit.
  • Holding or storing any goods, including supply stock, anywhere off the property.
  • Wiring, reprogramming, or relocating gate or camera systems.

Around St. Johns County and Jacksonville

Newer self-storage buildings keep going up along CR 210, US-1 south toward St. Augustine, and the I-95 interchanges on the Southside and Westside, often with an office that opens months after the units. Afternoon storms in summer make a morning move the safer bet for cardboard stock.

Storage Facility Office Moving FAQs

Another question? Call (904) 209-9277.

Can we keep selling moving boxes while the shop is packed?

Yes. We leave a small working stock on a cart at the counter until the last moment, move the rest by product, and set that cart out first at the new shop. Staff don’t have to tell a customer the boxes are packed away.

Our new office is across the lot. Do you still need a truck?

Sometimes not. For a short move on the same property we often use carts and dollies across the lot, with the truck on hand for large pieces or bad weather. We check the surface, curbs, and distance during the walkthrough and plan the route with you.

Who moves the kiosk and the gate keypad?

The access-control vendor, or whoever installed the kiosk. Anything connected to the gate or the tenant system is theirs to disconnect and reinstall. We move the office furniture and shop around them and leave space for the vendor at the new location.

Can you help lay out the new supply shop?

We set it up to your sketch. If you don’t have one, we match the old shop’s order, boxes by size along one wall, tape and wrap together, locks near the counter, so staff can adjust from there. Pricing and counts stay with your team.
