Planning a Storage Facility Office Move

This page is for self-storage operators moving their own rental office, whether that is into a new office building on the same site, a renovated front office, or a newly built facility. The office itself is small. The part that takes planning is the retail counter: most facilities sell moving boxes, tape, bubble wrap, mattress bags, and locks, and staff need that stock on the shelves while tenants come and go.

We start with the operations manager and two lists. The first is the office: the rental counter, desks, the kiosk stand, file cabinets, and the break room. The second is the retail stock, counted by your staff before we pack it, with a shelf location for each product at the new counter. We move backstock first, then the displays, then the counter, so there are always boxes and tape for sale somewhere. The gate system, the kiosk's software, and the cameras belong to your security and technology vendors, while tenant files and gate code lists remain in your staff's hands.

Who usually signs off
Facility owner or operations manager, with the office lead approving supply counts and the counter switch
Timing that works
Weekday mornings outside the end-of-month rush, when tenants move in and out and the supply counter sells the most.

What typically moves

  • Rental counter and office desks Freestanding counter sections are numbered and reassembled; the crew moves and hooks up office computers and receipt printers.
  • Moving-supply displays and slatwall units Freestanding displays moved upright; wall-mounted slatwall stays for the installer.
  • Flat-packed carton backstock Moved in bundles by size and stacked on the new stockroom shelves by size.
  • Tape, bubble wrap, and mattress bag cases Moved in their cases and shelved by product location.
  • Lock and accessory displays Locks stay in their packaging and ride in a closed carton the manager seals.
  • File cabinets and the break room Tenant files are sealed by staff; cabinets move locked.

Access and scheduling

The last and first days of the month are the busiest at most storage facilities, as tenants move in and out, so choose a weekday mid-month. Mornings are usually quieter than afternoons. Park the truck where it does not block drive aisles, the gate, or the moving-truck parking tenants use.

A new office on the same property can mean a short dolly run across the lot, with the truck kept for bulk carton stock. If it is a different facility, both addresses need a clear path to the door. Tell your tenants if the counter will be closed for a few hours, and post the temporary location of supplies. If the new office has a narrower door than the old one, send us its width and the size of each counter section, since most rental counters come apart into sections.

Protection and handling

Moving supplies are light but bulky, and cartons crush if they are stacked badly. Flat-packed boxes ride flat in banded bundles, product cases ride with heavier items underneath, and nothing is stacked on mattress bags or bubble wrap. Displays are padded and moved upright.

Your staff count the stock before we pack it and again when it is shelved, so any difference is caught the same day. Tenant files, gate code lists, and payment records are packed and carried by your staff. The kiosk and gate systems are handled by their vendors before we move anything near them. At the new counter, product goes back on the shelves in its familiar sequence unless the manager draws a new layout, so staff can find sizes by habit on the first day. Empty cardboard and banding are removed as we go.

Who does what

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

Gate access, keypads, cameras, and the rental kiosk
Your security and kiosk vendors disconnect, move, and test them.
Tenant files, gate codes, and payment records
Your staff keep and carry them.
Retail stock counts and point-of-sale system
Your staff count stock before and after; your software provider moves the point-of-sale system.

Not part of our work

  • Moving tenants' stored belongings or anything inside rental units.

Around Colorado Springs and El Paso County

Self-storage facilities in Colorado Springs line busy roads such as Powers Boulevard, North Nevada Avenue, and Marksheffel Road, and others sit on the edges of town in Falcon, Fountain, and Monument. Drive aisles and gate lanes are narrow, so where the truck parks matters.

Storage Facility Office Moving FAQs

Another question? Call (719) 357-5865.

How do we keep selling boxes and tape while the supply counter moves?

Move backstock first, then displays, then the counter. We set a temporary supply station near the old counter with the sizes customers buy most, so staff can keep selling until the new counter is ready. The temporary station comes over last, once the new counter is stocked.

Should our staff count moving supplies before your crew packs them?

Yes. Count each product before packing and again when it is shelved at the new counter. That way any difference is found the same day, and the count lives in your system, not ours. Opened cases are taped shut and marked as partial.

Can you move the office across our own property rather than on a truck?

Often. Where the replacement office sits on your own lot, much of the move can go on dollies and carts across the lot, with the truck used only for bulk carton stock. We check the route for curbs, gates, and speed bumps first.

Who gets the rental counter and payment equipment working again?

Your software provider and IT support set up the point-of-sale system and payment terminal. Our crew moves and reconnects the office computers and receipt printers, and your staff test the counter before it reopens to tenants, including a test sale on the payment terminal.
