Storage Services

One of the things that you’re going to need when considering an intercontinental relocation is storage services, and that is where an experienced company like Active Transport can be of great assistance to you. Let’s take a particular scenario with which I’m well acquainted, relocation from South Africa to the United States of America, though you can substitute any other foreign destination. Before you can actually make the move you have to sell your property in South Africa, something of a task in the present financial circumstances. You also have to purchase a property in the USA, which you cannot really do until you arrive there. Once your property in RSA is sold, it’s a question of getting all of your furniture sent in a container and of putting all of your finances in order then hopping onto an aeroplane over to the States. This is where storage services become necessary, either in SA or the USA. Between the time your goods are collected from your old home and are put into a container they have to be stored somewhere.

Storage services will probably also be needed on the other side of the Atlantic. Your container could take between 6 and 10 weeks to make the journey. In that time you may or may not have found accommodation and a new home. Active Transport has been in the removal and storage business for almost twenty years and we have excellent storage services. Our storage 800m² warehouse, which is located in Pretoria, is linked to Chubb Security 24 hours a day with armed response. All items are stored in their own unique crate so that they remain clean and protected.
