自20世紀60年代美國誕生第一家迷你倉以來,這種應運而生的“自存工業”就得到了蓬勃發展,在世界上的許多城市已成為十分成熟的行業。據2006年的調查顯示,美國約有41000間迷你倉,澳洲約有1000間,英國約有600間。這些國家的迷你倉位置可分為三個區域:在農村,大多數迷你倉都是一排排分列著的單層建築,每個倉庫在貨物入庫時都可從大門進入;城郊結合部則多為一到三層建築,向高層運貨時要用到升降機,而貨物只能從最底層的倉庫大門輸送進去;城市內部的迷你倉基本是多層建築,第一層是裝貨區,客戶可以用滾動小車或者手推車將貨物運到升降機內,然後由升降機自動將貨物送到客戶的迷你倉內。

迷你倉的歷史
星期五, 七月 30th, 2010Storage Coverage Tips
星期二, 七月 13th, 2010When it comes to self storage insurance , there are a few general pointers that are important to remember. First of all, always read the fine print. Many insurance policies may charge extra for coverage of items that are stored away from home. The best way is to opt for a policy that the warehouse provider themselves can give you are more often than not, this will prove to be a cheaper option. Apart from that, they can also provide the customer with the kind of coverage they will really need. Bear in mind that in this case, the consumer will have to give the owner a complete inventory of the items in cargo space and under policy. Apart from that, if anything is removed or added, it will alter the terms of the insurance policy.
At the end of the day, self storage insurance just makes sense for all parties involved. If a storehouse company owner does not provide this, they could run the risk of getting blackballed if a consumer has a bad experience through no fault of the owner. It would be a shame for a respectable and dedicated cargo space company to lose out, simply because it neglected to offer insurance coverage for its clients. These policies give consumers peace of mind and ensure that they come back again when they need to put things in warehouse.
