Storing Machines, Tools, and Appliances the Right Way
Machines, tools, and appliances are often among the most valuable investments for households and businesses alike. From refrigerators and washing machines to power tools and professional equipment, these items take up significant space and require thoughtful care when not in use.
Whether you are renovating your home, managing seasonal work equipment, or running a business that depends on well-maintained machinery, a storage unit at Storage Corner in Utah, Idaho, or California can be the perfect solution. Our facilities offer the environment, accessibility, and features necessary to keep your assets safe and ready for use.
Why Consider Storage for Machines and Appliances?
Unlike boxes of clothing or holiday decorations, appliances and tools are sensitive to neglect. Leaving them in a damp garage or cluttered basement can lead to rust, mold, or electrical issues. Businesses also face the challenge of keeping inventory organized and accessible without filling up valuable office or shop space.
A properly selected storage unit helps solve these problems by offering:
- A clean and secure environment.
- Space for bulky appliances that do not fit at home or work.
- Flexible options to access tools or machines as needed.
- Amenities like temperature-controlled units that prevent damage caused by extreme weather.

- Drive-up units for loading and unloading heavy appliances with less effort.

Preparing Items for Storage
Before moving machines, tools, or appliances into a unit, preparation is key.
1. Clean and Inspect
Wipe down each item, removing grease, dirt, or dust. Make sure appliances are completely dry to prevent rust or mildew. Check for wear or damage and handle repairs before storage.
2. Protect and Package
Use padded covers for appliances, bubble wrap for delicate parts, and sturdy toolboxes for smaller equipment. Covering items prevents scratches and keeps dust away.
3. Organize Wisely
Stack larger appliances toward the back and leave space for smaller, frequently used items near the front. Label tool chests or bins clearly to save time when retrieving items.
4. Choose Climate Control When Needed
Electronics, appliances with wiring, and precision machinery should be stored in climate-controlled units. This prevents problems caused by humidity, freezing temperatures, or excessive heat.
