Go 2 Storage

Secure Storage Solutions

Go 2 Storage — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 22:57:50 +0000

When you’re handing over the keys (or in our case, the PIN) to your belongings, you want to know they’re in good hands. At Go 2 Storage in Erskine, we’ve invested in some of the most advanced self storage security technology available in Australia, so you can store with confidence, whether you’re just around the corner in Mandurah or halfway across the country.

Here’s a look at exactly what we’ve put in place to protect your unit, 24 hours a day.

Our smart access control system

We’ve rolled out a full smart access control platform across our entire Erskine complex. The technology is Australian-designed and operated, and it won the SSAA Innovation Award in 2024 — it’s genuinely changing what self storage security looks like.

There are three hardware components installed at every unit: a unit controller (the brain of each unit, connecting everything together), a smart lock fitted directly to your roller door, and PIN pads at our perimeter gates for secure entry and exit.

This means your unit isn’t just protected by a padlock you bought at the hardware store. It’s protected by a smart, connected system that gives both you and us real-time visibility over what’s happening at your unit.

What this means for you as a customer

Here’s what you actually get access to as a Go 2 Storage customer:

PIN pad entry at the gates — use your unique PIN to enter and exit the complex through our three automatic sliding gates. No keys, no swipe cards, just your code.
Remote door control from anywhere — open or close your unit door from your phone, no matter where you are. Forgot whether you locked up? Check and fix it from the couch.
Door alerts for you and for us — if your unit door is opened, you’ll get an alert. So will we. That means any unexpected access is flagged immediately, not discovered days later.
Motorised door control — our roller doors are motorised and connected to the system, so you’re not wrestling with a manual door every visit.
Smart lock — your unit door is secured with a smart lock that can only be operated by you (or our team in an emergency). No one can cut it off, because there’s nothing to cut.
Motion sensor — each unit has a motion sensor. If something moves inside your unit when it shouldn’t, you’ll know about it.
Unit camera with snapshot images — a camera inside your unit can send snapshot images directly to your phone or our security centre. Eyes on your unit, always.
On-site Wi-Fi — we provide a Wi-Fi network throughout the complex, handy when you’re sorting through your unit and need to look something up, or when the app needs a connection.

The physical security around the complex

The smart technology is backed up by serious on-site infrastructure:

72 CCTV cameras covering common areas throughout the entire complex
Three automatic sliding gates with PIN pad entry control
2.1 metre perimeter fencing around the full site
Five hoists servicing our upstairs units, so you’re not lugging things up stairs
Undercover loading docks so you can move in and out protected from the weather

Our office is also on-site during business hours, with staff available and a full range of packing supplies if you need them.

Access on your schedule

Our standard access hours are 5am to 9pm, seven days a week, and 24/7 access is available for those who need it. Between the smart lock system, the gate PIN pads, and the remote door control, getting to your unit is straightforward at any hour.

Moving in? We make that easy too

We know that moving day is stressful enough without having to organise a truck on top of everything else. That’s why we offer a free truck or trailer with any new move-in, larger loads get the truck, smaller moves get the trailer. We also stock boxes, tape, and packing materials on-site, so you can grab what you need in one trip.

Storage Options in Over 55s Communities

Go 2 Storage — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 02:52:07 +0000

As you get older, your life and circumstances change. This isn’t something we’re necessarily happy about, but we’re able to get on and adjust to changes in our health, our income, and even the place we live. We accumulate a lot of stuff throughout our lives, and an easy place to store the things we need and treasure can make life a whole lot easier. Go 2 Storage offers specialist storage for over 55s, so you can appreciate a service designed for you.

Reasons to Use Self-Storage

Downsizing or moving house is a stressful, but often necessary, change. Your kids have all grown up and moved out, and you don’t necessarily need to have a massive house to rattle around in. A smaller home or, depending on your circumstances, an assisted living arrangement, might be the best option. In this case, self-storage offers a way to store the things you can’t fit in your new home and gives you some extra time to work out what to do with them. Whether you want to keep it, give it away, or sell it, you don’t need to rush. As well as helping during these transitional periods, self-storage can also be a good way to store seasonal items. You can put your winter stuff away during the summer and vice versa, so you’re not tripping over belongings you don’t use for half of the year.

Convenient and Flexible Storage With Go 2 Storage

No matter what age you are, convenience and flexibility are so important to make your storage process easier. We offer flexible rental options and easy access to your belongings, which is ideal for older customers. This means that you have full control over your storage and the rental arrangement and can change it as and when you need. If you’re struggling with anything, just let us know. We offer free storage tips to help you get the most out of your self-storage and keep your belongings safe.

Affordable Senior Storage Solutions

Self-storage shouldn’t be prohibitively expensive for anyone. We make sure that our self-storage is affordable, even if you’re on a retirement plan. There is also a range of storage options so you can find something that suits your needs and your budget, whether you want somewhere to store your caravan or just a few belongings.

Ensuring Your Belongings Are Safe

If you’re using self-storage for over 55s, you want to know that your belongings are safe, especially if you’re storing sensitive or treasured items. This means using a secure and private facility, complete with fencing that encloses the storage containers, electronic access controlled gates, lighting, CCTV surveillance, and alarms. So, no unauthorised person can enter the facility without being spotted. We also make sure that your belongings are safe from smaller, less human intruders. The building is pest controlled, with regular checks performed by a professional pest control company. No matter what, your belongings will be kept safe and secure for when you want to access them.

What size storage unit do I need?

Mandurah Storage — Fri, 30 Sep 2022 06:03:48 +0000

If you’re renting a self-storage unit for the first time, you might be wondering how much space you actually need. Although we can provide dimensions of our self storage units, it can be hard to visualise the space. In this blog, we provide details on our range of storage units so you can make an educated decision.

Choosing the right storage unit will not only help you save money, but also take a lot of stress out of the process. Read further to discover what’s the correct choice for your needs.

EOFY is a great time to reflect on your finances, review your assets and brainstorm how you want to proceed with the next financial year. So, before you go buying too many goodies during the sales… it’s always a wise idea to organise your current business items in your business storage unit… and then go shopping for new office supplies after!

An organised business storage unit makes for an organised and prosperous business year. Follow our steps on how to begin the process and get your business ahead of competitors!

Storage Unit Size Guide

We have come up with a great size guide that easily explains which unit will suit your storage needs best. With our help, you can pick the perfect storage unit for your belongings – and avoid overpaying for space you don’t need!

Files and Documents

Files and documents are one of the most common items to store in your storage unit. Considering businesses and individuals need to keep records for 5 years (in most cases) from the date of lodgement, your files can quickly accumulate! Renting a storage unit is the perfect solution for safely storing your documents.

The great perk of storing documents is the fact they take up very little space! Depending on the amount of files you have, we would recommend choosing one of our smaller storage units (around 2.3m2). Unless you would like to store other items with your belongings, a smaller unit should be fine.

Miscellaneous goods/boxes of items

If you’re moving house or you live in an apartment, you might be seeking to rent a storage unit to hold extra goods, miscellaneous objects and sentimental items that you don’t have the heart to throw out! If this sounds like you, we have the storage unit to accommodate your needs.

Choosing the correct size of your storage unit will depend on how many items you’re looking to store. Generally, if you’re looking for somewhere to store boxes of items you can choose our smaller storage units. But, the larger the items and the quantity of storage, the bigger the storage unit you will need.

Tools/equipment

Storage units are incredibly useful for tradesmen/women who need somewhere to store their tools, gear and equipment. Whether you’re a gardener looking to store your spades and wheelbarrows or you’re a mechanic who can’t fit all of the automotive tools in your home’s shed—storage units play an important role in the runnings of your business.

Size wise, you might want to choose a bigger storage unit to accommodate . If this is a business expense, speak to your accountant about writing the payment off at tax time.

Furniture/household goods

Customers store furniture and household goods in their storage unit for a variety of reasons. Whilst many use storage units as a way to store furniture when they’re in-between living arrangements. Others use storage units as a way of keeping safe furniture they’re planning to sell. Either way, you will want to make sure you have a storage unit to accommodate your items.

Our facility has units ranging in size from 2.3m2 to 34m2. You might want to consider choosing 34m2 (which is the size of a small apartment) if you have a lot of furniture you need to keep safe.

Choosing the correct storage unit size

No one likes feeling stressed, especially when it comes to finding the perfect self storage unit size for your belongings. If you’re not sure which unit to choose, our team is more than happy to offer advice based on your specific needs. We always recommend viewing your storage unit before renting to make sure it meets all of your requirements.

Organise your business storage unit for EOFY

Mandurah Storage — Tue, 28 Jun 2022 07:27:50 +0000

It’s the most wonderful time of the year… EOFY! The end of the financial year is an exciting time where businesses usually splurge a little extra before tax time, consumers receive those nice (and hopefully big) tax returns and there’s plenty of sales for all of us to enjoy.

An organised business storage unit makes for an organised and prosperous business year. Follow our steps on how to begin the process and get your business ahead of competitors!

1. Take Inventory

Inventory management is one of those tasks that makes every team member groan with dread (except maybe the accountant). It can be tedious, repetitive and boring but it’s incredibly important for when tax time rolls around.

When taking inventory in your business storage unit we recommend getting a team of people together, matching up pairs and assigning each pair a different section of the business storage unit. It’s always smart to have two sets of eyes checking numbers and inventory levels.

You’ll want to have your pen and paper handy or your POS software if you’re recording inventory digitally and make note of the following information:

Product description
Product category
Quantity in stock
SKU
UPC
Supplier and Supplier ID
Sales Price
Tax Rate
Discountable (Y/N)
Cost per Item
Current Quantity
Reorder Trigger
Recommended Order

Of course, depending on your industry will change what your inventory checklist will look like. However, this is a good guide to set you on the right path.

2. Review and organise

As you work your way through your storage unit, filling out your inventory information it’s a good idea to review the items in your inventory and re-organise.

Ask yourself, “Do we need this in our business now or in the near future?” If yes – then keep it. If not – then throw it away or sell.

You’ll discover it’s very easy to acquire miscellaneous items throughout the year. Those festive Christmas decorations from the work party, irrelevant physical documents and random goods you never knew you even had in the first place. Now’s the time to refresh your storage unit and get rid of any useless items.

Once you’ve made the cut, move your items into boxes and label them. Categorise your boxes in a way that makes sense to you and your staff and organise your storage unit appropriately. Any items you would like to use in the office, set aside to take to the work premises.

3. Buy more!

Now comes the fun part, shopping!

After you have worked through your business storage unit’s inventory, you might realise you need more of a particular item. Perhaps you need more work uniforms, stationary, tools or equipment – now you know exactly how much to order.

This is always a fun reward after the inventory management process. You’ve finished inventory management, you deserve to celebrate.

We recommend shouting the team a few pizzas and beers and celebrating the EOFY. You’ve all worked hard throughout the year, crack a beer open and cheer.

What can’t I store in a storage unit?

Mandurah Storage — Mon, 21 Mar 2022 03:38:26 +0000

Storage units are incredibly handy when you need extra room to store a wide variety of items. Storage units can safely keep just about anything however, there are some items that we don’t allow or discourage in a storage unit.

Combustible, flammable or toxic

It’s important to look over your storage items and confirm you haven’t accidentally included any combustible, flammable or toxic items. Without even realising, you could be choosing flammable items to store in your self storage unit. Familiarise yourself with the list below and check if your items fit into one of the categories.

Petrol/gasoline
Compressed gasses
Radioactive materials
Paint and paint thinner
Turpentine
Solvents
Aerosols
Flammable liquids
Lithium batteries

Perishable items – food and drink

Although some food has a long shelf life, fresh food and drinks don’t stand the test of time. Perishable foods are those items that are likely to spoil and become unsafe to consume if not kept refrigerated at specific temperatures. If you’re wanting to store any food or beverage items, make sure you double check the expiration date and storage requirements of the items. Storing perishable food or drink in your storage unit will lead to bacteria growth and cause unpleasant odours and harmful toxins in your storage unit. If you’re hoping to store any food or drink (perishable or otherwise) in your storage unit, confirm with our Go 2 Storage team prior to storing.

Perishable food & drink items:

Meat
Poultry
Fish
Milk
Dairy products
Cooked leftovers

For those worried about doomsday, the food and drink items you can store in your storage unit include the below long-shelf life items.

Long-shelf life items:

Tea – approx. 6-12 months past “best by” date
Powdered milk – commonly lasts 1 – 1.5 years
Beef jerky – 1-2 years
Canned fruits – 1-2 years past expiration date
Canned vegetables – 1-2 years past expiration date
Dried pasta – 1-2 years past the best before date
Peanut butter – depending on the peanut butter, usually 2 years
Dark chocolate – 2-5 years
Canned tuna – 3-5 years after the expiration date
Dried beans – indefinite, dried beans are essentially indestructible
Liquor – depending on the liquor will determine the longevity.
Rice – uncooked rice is much like dried beans, indestructible

Living things, pets or the naughty kids

Although we’re yet to cross this bridge, we thought we better include living things in the list too! Perhaps it might seem like a convenient way to keep your pets safe, you can’t keep your cat, dog, pony or goldfish in your storage unit. And, you especially can’t keep your naughty children in the storage unit either (as much as you might be tempted to).

Storage units are only for items and not for living things.

Illegal items

Any illegal items are completely prohibited in your storage unit. We don’t like to get our hands dirty, keep your suspicious items at home. Any illegal substances, stolen items or banned materials are not allowed in your Go 2 Storage unit and will be reported if discovered.

Keeping you and your items safe

These precautions aim to keep you and your items completely safe. It’s an essential requirement to make sure that our venue is 100% safe and secure.

Why storage units are a great option for your family

Mandurah Storage — Mon, 10 Jan 2022 02:29:54 +0000

Raise your hand if you and your family have run out of places for storage in your home… Don’t worry, you’re not alone!

Storage is a vital part of all homes. When you attend house viewings, the agent will ensure to advertise the amount of storage as a key selling point. However, it seems that no matter how much storage space a home has, you can never quite have enough. That’s where

Go 2 Storage Mandurah comes in handy. Storage units allow you to store all of your unused items out of the home, allowing you and your family to have more space at your residence.

Here, we explain why storage units add great value to your family’s home, giving you more room to grow.

Free up your garage space

Did you know that your garage doesn’t have to be used as a space for storage? It’s a crazy thought, I know.

Many families who are struggling to find the space they need in their home, rely on their garage as a place for safe keeping. Bikes, gym equipment, books and all of the kids’ old reports and assignments… you’re lucky if you can even fit your car into the garage! But, it doesn’t have to be this way.

If you’ve ever thought about making a home gym in your garage, using your garage as a mens/womens shed or, you need more space to store your vehicles… Now’s the time to start thinking about a storage unit.

Free up your garage space by investing in a storage unit. Mandurah storage units allow for you to transfer all of that storage sitting in your garage to a clean and safe space. Plus, you can pick a storage unit size that can fit your needs. No need to commit to a storage unit that’s far bigger than what you need. Pick your storage unit size and store your items.

Declutter your family home

As your family gets bigger, so does your amount of things, making the job of decluttering quite a challenging one! Kitchen appliances, furniture, books, photo albums, tech gear, sports equipment and the list goes on. And, what makes things even more tricky is you don’t want to chuck it out! There’s a way to declutter your home whilst also avoiding throwing away items you want to keep… you guessed it… self storage units!

Storage units allow you to keep your storage items separate from your home. If you’ve ever walked into someone’s house and wondered how they keep their house so clean, our bet’s on them having a storage unit!

Storage units Mandurah are the secret ingredient to living comfortably. Once you’ve discovered the great benefit of storage units on living, you’ll be wondering why you hadn’t got a storage unit sooner.

Protect your valuables

No matter how protected you believe your home to be, there’s always the chance of unexpected damage to your household items. We’ve heard stories of clients switching to storage units after their home garage leaked water over some of their photo albums. It’s a situation no one wants to go through. However, storage units offer premium protection of everything you choose to put in storage.

Self storage units will protect your valuables from:

Rain and leaks that you might have in your home.
Burglary and theft.
Items being broken (besides any visitors you allow into your storage unit).

Choosing a Mandurah storage unit to keep your valuables might be a safer solution than keeping your items in your home. Additionally, you can purchase self storage insurance for extra peace of mind.

5 Summer Storage Tips

Mandurah Storage — Mon, 20 Dec 2021 01:24:10 +0000

Looking to freshen up your place this Summer? Follow our 5 Summer storage tips to make sure your house is looking clean and tidy for the season.

Summer has arrived here in Australia, which means those hot and steamy 30+ degree days. We don’t know about you, but we hate it when the home is cluttered when the weather is warm. It makes us feel even more hot and bothered!

Stay cool this Summer by arranging your home’s storage. You’ll be surprised at how impactful a well organised home can be.

1. Categorise your items

First thing’s first, when you’re going through your home storage you need to divide your items into three categories.

Keep: this includes the items that you wish to hold onto because you either use them or they hold importance in your life.
Throw: be brutally honest with yourself. Ask yourself when was the last time you used the item? Or, does this item hold genuine value in your life? If not, then throw it!
Storage: we understand that there are many items that you don’t use presently however, they are important to keep. Collect these items together for your self storage unit.

2. Get your family on board

Whether they like it or not, get your family on board with organising the home storage.

It can be quite intimidating trying to tackle a whole household’s storage on your own. Lots of rooms, cupboards and draws to go through with bits and bobs in them you were unaware you owned.

Does anyone else have a whole draw full of random cords, plugs and chargers? Or is that just us…

To make the process easier, convince your family to join you with the process. Assign each family member a room, and do some rooms together. Pull out what needs to be kept, what can be thrown away and what can be taken to your self storage unit. Be harsh with your items yet also acknowledge the must-keep sentimental pieces. As the famous organiser Marie Kondo says, “we should be choosing what we want to keep, not what we want to get rid of.”

Cleaning out your home as a family makes the whole process much quicker, easier and enjoyable.

3. Clean as you go

Whilst you’re going through your household items, grab the spray and wipe. Giving everything a wipe down as you organise, doesn’t take too much time and leaves everything sparkling and fresh afterwards. Cleaning goes hand in hand with organising and makes the world of difference when you’ve finished.

When you’ve finished a room and it’s completely tidy, you’ll find a new appreciation for your space. Even the kids will agree!

4. Reduce waste

It can be confronting when you see how big the ‘throw’ pile is from cleaning out your home. Rather than throwing all of these items in the bin, brainstorm ways you can give the goods a second life. Ideas could include donating to charities and second-hand stores, selling them in a garage sale or putting them up on Gumtree/MarketPlace. For old clothes and rags, you can keep some of them for cleaning purposes.

Have a think about who might need that item or how it can be repurposed to avoid taking it to landfill.

5. Storage Unit

Storage units are incredibly useful for everyone. Whether you’re a family and need more room in your home or you live alone and prefer the space – a storage unit plays an important role in making your living quarters organised.

Here at Go2 Storage in Mandurah we offer self storage units in a variety of sizes for flexible times. We understand each person’s unique living conditions and storage requirements. Contact our expert and friendly team today to find what you’ve been looking for.

Moving house
Decluttering your home
Selling second-hand items

For long term storage, you might be:

Storing office files
Moving to an apartment
Storing tools and machinery

Storage units are available to rent for both short and long periods of time. Short term storage is generally limited to 1 month, if you need a storage facility for a shorter period of time please contact our Go 2 Storage Mandurah team.

Storage unit size

Storage units come in all shapes and sizes. Go 2 Storage offers a wide selection of storage sizes ranging from 2.3m2 to 34m2.

When it comes to selecting the correct sized storage unit, it’s dependent on what your needs are. We recommend talking with our Go 2 Storage team who can calculate a suitable storage size. Our team are experts in matching your requirements with the correct storage space.

Safety of self-storage

Depending on the storage facility you’re contacting, self storage units are very safe. Here at Go 2 Storage Mandurah we pride ourselves on the security of our premises. Each storage unit is protected with alarms, security fencing, electronic access-controlled gates, security lighting and CCTV. On a regular basis, a professional pest control company conducts routine checks and control programme implementation to prevent any bugs and pests from entering the site. In addition, each unit is self contained and protected from rain and weather hazards.

Of course, no matter how much protection there is in place, there is always a small chance of an unlikely event (such as a fire) occurring. However, to combat the unforeseen, we also offer quick and easy insurance for your self storage. To find out more information on insurance enquire with our team.

Why rent a storage unit?

To put it simply, storage units make life easier. It’s always unsettling when you have to throw away or sell an item because you don’t have the space to keep it. Inevitably, you’ll wish you hadn’t. And, with Australian houses decreasing in size each year and share houses rising in popularity this is a regretful problem becoming more and more common. You only need to have a quick browse on Gumtree to see all of the household items being sold out of homes. Don’t make the same mistake. Keep your valuables and invest in a storage unit.
