Mezzanine Goods Lifts – The ideal solution for booming self-storage market
The self-storage sector in the UK continues to experience impressive growth, with the most recent market data issued by Cushman & Wakefield* reporting an 8.1% rise in self-storage space during 2023. Total floorspace now amounts to 60m square feet, triple that available in 2005 and the industry has a turnover of £1.8 billion.
Confidence in the future remains high with over 40% of operators planning to invest in new sites and with a growing number looking to use technology to improve operations and customer service. Increasing numbers of self-storage businesses report that they are actively using Artificial Intelligence, with the technology playing a significant role in enhancing security and operational efficiencies.
When it comes to the more practical day-to-day activities such as the movement of goods between different floors and storage levels, an easy to use, safe and efficient lifting solution is required. With a successful track record of supplying mezzanine goods lifts to self-storage businesses throughout the UK, Hörmann Transdek can offer a one-stop shop to fulfil all lifting requirements.
