Specialty equipment—whether it's construction machinery, landscaping trailers, or specialized work vehicles—often needs storage that standard facilities can't provide. The combination of 24/7 access and trailer hookup capability narrows your options significantly in the Atlanta Metro.

Specialty equipment often means:

• Oversized dimensions (length, width, height)
• Heavy weight (surface must handle it)
• Trailer configurations (need hookup/unhook space)
• Maneuvering room (turning radius for truck+trailer)

Contractors don't work 9-to-5:

• Early morning job starts (5-6 AM pickup)
• Emergency calls (nights and weekends)
• Variable schedules (different every day)
• Weekend work (common in construction)

Standard facility hours (7 AM - 7 PM) don't work for most equipment-dependent businesses.

Hooking up a trailer requires:

• Pull-through or adequate backing space
• Room to walk around the hitch
• Level ground for safe connection
• Lighting for early morning/evening hookups

Many facilities are too tight for comfortable trailer operations.

Purpose-built for contractors and equipment:

• Large gravel or paved lots
• Wide drive aisles
• Often 24/7 access
• Designed for heavy equipment

Best for: Construction equipment, landscaping trailers, larger operations

Some RV storage facilities accommodate equipment:

• Already designed for large vehicles
• Often have 24/7 or extended access
• May be more affordable than commercial yards

Best for: Trailers, work trucks, lighter equipment

Renting space at industrial locations:

• Maximum flexibility
• Can often negotiate terms
• May include building space

Best for: Established businesses with consistent needs

True 24/7: Gate opens any time with your code. No restrictions.

Extended hours: May be 5 AM - 11 PM or similar. Not quite 24/7.

24/7 with conditions: Available but may require special arrangement or extra fee.

Ask specifically: "Can I access my equipment at 4 AM on a Sunday?"

Keypad/code: Most common. Your personal code opens the gate.

Key card/fob: Swipe to enter. Easily tracked and revoked.

App-based: Smartphone opens gate. Convenient but requires signal.

Physical key: Old school but works. Harder to control access.

24/7 access creates security trade-offs:

• More access = more potential for unauthorized entry
• Quality facilities have cameras covering 24/7
• Access logging shows who entered when
• Well-lit facilities deter problems

The gold standard for trailers:

• Drive in one end, out the other
• No backing required
• Fastest access possible

Availability: Limited—most facilities have back-in spaces

For backing trailers:

• 30+ feet ideal for maneuvering
• 40+ feet for larger rigs
• Some facilities are too tight

Critical for:

• Safe trailer hookup/unhook
• Proper tongue weight
• Stable parking

Some facilities offer:

• Outlets for trailer battery charging
• 110V or 220V options
• Monthly fee usually applies

Equipment yard (outdoor): $100-250/month depending on size

RV facility (equipment): $75-175/month

Indoor/enclosed: $250-500+/month (limited availability)

Some facilities charge extra for true 24/7:

• $25-50/month additional
• Or included in higher-tier pricing

If available:

• $25-75/month additional
• May require deposit

• 24/7 equipment storage is scarce
• Pricing is premium
• Space constraints limit trailer maneuverability

• Better availability
• More space for equipment operations
• Competitive pricing
• Still accessible to Metro work sites

• Most availability and space
• Lowest pricing
• May be too far from job sites
• Variable security quality

1. "Is access truly 24/7, or are there restricted hours?"
2. "What's the widest/longest space you have?"
3. "Can I comfortably hook up a [X-foot] trailer?"
4. "Do you have pull-through spaces?"
5. "Are electrical hookups available?"
6. "What's the surface—can it handle [X] weight?"
