Self-Storage Facility Parking Lot Snow Removal

What This Service Involves

Self-storage facilities are defined by long, narrow drive aisles between unit rows, and a Puget Sound snowfall can quickly make those lanes impassable to a customer's vehicle or trailer. Our operators plow the drive aisles and the gate approach so the access-controlled entry keeps working when someone needs their belongings. We clear the loading zones in front of roll-up doors where customers pull in to move heavy items on foot. Because storage customers visit irregularly and often without warning, we keep the whole site navigable rather than clearing only on request.

Benefits

Narrow drive aisles stay passable for vehicles and trailers; the gate approach keeps access-controlled entry working; loading zones at roll-up doors are cleared for foot moving; irregular customer visits are always met with an open site; a low-traffic lot is treated proactively rather than reactively

Our Process

1) Map drive aisles, the gate approach, and loading zones; 2) Plow the narrow aisles between unit rows to full width; 3) Clear the gate approach so access control keeps functioning; 4) Deice loading zones at roll-up doors for foot traffic

What Affects the Cost

Total length and width of drive aisles; gate approach and access-control layout; number of loading zones at unit doors; proactive versus on-request service frequency; deicer coverage for entry and loading areas

Best Time of Year

Self-storage lots in Western Washington need the most winter service from December through February, when infrequent visits still demand open access.
