Pallet positions
One pallet of 1200 × 1000 mm, one position, 1.2 m² of floor before aisles. Count your busiest month, not your average: that’s the space you need.
Weeks of cover
Your normal stock divided by what goes out a week. It tells you how long stock sits on the shelf, and how often it turns over in a year.
Out the door
Local deliveries on our vehicles, from flat decks to enclosed vans; full loads on the N3 between Durban and Johannesburg; status updates by email.

Call 011 873 4786What’s the difference between shared and dedicated warehousing?
In a shared store you share space, labour, equipment and transport with other clients, which gives you flexibility and cost advantages. A dedicated store is set up for your stock alone, sized for your busiest month and run your way. We tailor either one, whatever your sector.
Which one suits me?
Smaller or seasonal stock usually suits shared space, because you aren’t holding room for your peak all year. Large, steady stock, a long term, or your own processes point to dedicated. The space check on this page gives a lean from your numbers, and we confirm it with you.
How many pallet positions do I need?
One for every pallet you hold at your busiest, not on an average day. If you count cartons, the space check works out how many fit on a 1200 × 1000 mm pallet to the height you choose, and turns your cartons into pallets.
How much floor space is that?
A 1200 × 1000 mm pallet takes 1.2 m² of floor, so 100 pallets on the floor are 120 m² before aisles. Racking takes them up instead of out; aisles and the loading area add space.
Where are your stores?
Our depot is at 69–71 Barlow Road, Jupiter, Germiston, about 5 km from City Deep, on a 65,000 m² facility, with a further 85,000 m² of land acquired. We also have bonded and duty-free stores in Johannesburg and Durban.
Can you store hazardous goods?
Our Germiston depot holds Ekurhuleni municipality accreditation to store various hazard classes, and our hazchem trucks carry a Tremcard for every UN-numbered product. Send the SDS and UN numbers with your quote request.
Can you store imports that aren’t cleared yet?
Yes, in bond. Duty and VAT wait until the goods leave the bonded store, and if they’re re-exported, you don’t pay them at all.
Can you unpack my containers into storage?
Yes. We unpack at our Germiston depot with 10 forklifts and attachments such as drum clamps, paper grabs and fork extensions, then the stock goes into storage.
Do you deliver?
Yes. Locally on our own vehicles, from flat decks to enclosed vans, and full loads on the N3 between Durban and Johannesburg. We have more than 100 heavy commercial vehicles on the road every day.
How will I know where my deliveries are?
We send status updates by email from instruction to delivery, and our 24-hour control centre tracks our trucks in real time.
What do you need from me, and what does it cost?
What you store, how much at your busiest, how fast it moves and where it goes. We don’t publish prices: answer the seven short questions in the quote form and we’ll quote on your actual stock.
