Big Space, Zero Fuss: Why 20ft Containers Work So Well for Storage

By April 22, 2025April 30th, 2025No Comments

Ever feel like your house is bursting at the seams? Boxes in the spare room, gear shoved into corners, tools fighting for space in the shed? You’re not alone — and that’s exactly why more and more people across Galway are turning to container storage.

At Prolink, we rent out clean, secure, 20-foot storage containers right here on-site. They’re ideal if you need proper space without hassle — and they’re more useful than most people realise.

Real Space You Can Actually Use

Let’s start with the size. A 20-foot container offers serious room — around 33 cubic metres, which is enough to hold the contents of a decent-sized house or a fully stocked storeroom. You can stack boxes high, store awkward furniture, or even fit in a motorbike or trailer.

And because it’s your own lockable space, you’re free to pack it however you want. No sharing, no restrictions, and no strange layout to work around. It’s just a big, clean, secure space — and it’s all yours.

24/7 Access, No Appointments or Fuss

One of the best things about container storage? You’re not tied to anyone else’s schedule. At Prolink, we give you automated gate access so you can visit your unit day or night — no calling ahead, no key handovers, no waiting.

Just turn up when it suits you, load or unload at your own pace, and get on with your day. Whether it’s 7am or 9pm, your storage is always available — on your terms.

Clean, Dry, and Seriously Secure

We don’t mess around when it comes to keeping your stuff safe. Our 20-foot containers are bought brand new and purpose-built for storage — clean, ventilated, and fully weatherproof from day one. Each unit is made from heavy-duty steel and fitted with a strong external lock box.

And beyond the container itself, our Galway site is protected by 24/7 CCTV, on-site security staff, and secure gate access. From the moment you close the door, it’s safe.

What People Use It For (Spoiler: Nearly Everything)

Here’s just a glimpse of what our Galway customers store in their containers:

Tools and equipment between jobs

Furniture during house moves or renovations

Classic cars and motorbikes (yes, really)

Boats and trailers over the winter

Overflow stock for small businesses

Seasonal bits like garden furniture, and bulky Christmas decorations

If it fits, it works. And 20 feet of space gives you more flexibility than most traditional self-storage units.

A Handy Option for Businesses Too

Plenty of local business owners use our containers as remote storage they can rely on. Maybe you’re a tradesperson with too much gear to keep at home, or you run an online shop and need somewhere safe and accessible for packaging or stock.

Some customers even get deliveries sent straight to us — and we’ll hold them securely in your unit until you’re ready to collect. It’s simple, flexible, and saves you time.

Why It’s Better Than You’d Think

Most people imagine container storage as cold, industrial, maybe even a bit grim. But once they see our Galway site — clean, well-maintained, and easy to access — they realise it’s nothing like that.

You get the convenience of drive-up access, the peace of mind that everything’s secure, and the freedom to use the space however you like. No sign-in desks. No shared corridors. No nonsense.

Thinking About Extra Space?

Whether you’re moving house, expanding your business, or just clearing out the spare room, container storage might be the easiest solution you didn’t know you needed. And with no long-term contracts, you can stay for as long (or as little) as you like.
