Contractor storage in Fort Worth
A place to put tools, boxed supplies and job materials between jobs — with drive-up access, wide aisles and larger units at our W. Pafford Street property.
Get it off the truck and out of the garage
Most trades in Fort Worth end up with the same problem: the truck is full, the garage at home is full, and the yard rate for real commercial space does not make sense for the amount of gear you actually have. A drive-up storage unit sits in the middle — big enough for the ladders, the boxed material and the equipment you are not using this week, cheap enough to keep year round.
Our W. Pafford Street property is the one most trades end up at. Wide concrete drive aisles, a keypad-controlled gate, and our largest spaces — including 7×30, 15×15 and 10×30 units.
What people store with us
- Hand and power tools, cased and boxed
- Boxed supplies, fixtures and fittings

- Job materials between phases

Questions
Contractor storage questions
What size unit do contractors usually take?
It depends on whether you are storing hand tools and boxed supplies or full job materials. A 6×10 or 10×15 covers most one-crew operations; 7×30, 15×15 and 10×30 spaces suit longer materials and larger equipment.
Can I work out of the unit?
No. Units are for storage only — no cutting, no assembly, no running equipment, no crew working inside. Load, unload and go.
Can I store fuel, propane or chemicals?
No. Hazardous, flammable and combustible materials cannot be stored in a self-storage unit. If you are not sure whether something on your truck qualifies, ask the office first.
Is there power in the units?
A few configurations at the Pafford property are listed in our system with electricity. Voltage, outlet type, permitted use and whether power is included in the rate are being confirmed — call and ask before you plan around it.
Can I get a trailer in and out?
The Pafford property has wide concrete drive aisles built for that kind of movement. Call and describe your rig and we will tell you honestly whether it will work.
Still not sure? Call the location nearest you and ask — you will get a person, not a phone tree.
Tell us what you need to store.
Call the Pafford office, describe the gear, and we will tell you the size and the number.
