About us
With over 20 years in the self storage business, we have the knowledge and experience required to deliver superior storage services across Melbourne. This is reflected in the feedback and written testimonials our happy customers give us. Our success comes from our satisfied customers who return again and again, and who happily refer their family and friends to experience our first class service.
Company history
Fort Knox Self Storage is a Melbourne-based business. The first Fort Knox Self Storage centre was opened in 1996 by a local family, and since then we have grown to be the market leaders in Victoria. We currently have 11 storage centres in the Melbourne metropolitan area and are growing all the time.
The Fort Knox difference
OUR PEOPLE CARE
Our team of dedicated storage experts is what sets us apart. Each team member takes pride in their work and will go above and beyond to help customers receive the best storage experience. Many of our staff are celebrating long service anniversaries and are truly ‘part of the Fort Knox family’. We welcome customers to each storage facility with the respect, courtesy and a big smile. Most importantly, we take the time to really listen to you and find out the best storage need for your situation.
WE CARE ABOUT OUR ENVIRONMENT
At Fort Knox Self Storage, we believe it’s our responsibility to do everything we can to look after the environment. As such, we have an environmental policy in place that guides our team and work activities to minimise the environmental impact of every Fort Knox Self Storage facility.
- Reducing Electricity Consumption:
We have installed solar panels on 8 of our sites so far. There are 2018 solar panels, for a total system of 760kW, that can produce thousands of kilowatt-hours of electricity daily, powering our sites and feeding into the grid. We also use timers to run our lighting systems and the power supplies are key locked to ensure they are only used during office hours.
- Reducing water consumption:
Our sites have drought tolerant gardens to eliminate the need for watering systems. Garden beds are regularly mulched to keep the soil moist, and dishwashers are only run when full, on water saving cycles.
- Reducing paper usage:
All of our boxes are made from recycled corrugated paper, and our office paper is made from recycled pulp. We have removed paper contracts and introduced a paperless digital sign up process, together with secure document shredding service which recycles 100% of the paper.
WE CARE ABOUT THE COMMUNITIES AROUND US
Each year Fort Knox Self Storage supports specific charities and community groups, lending a helping hand where we can. Every team member has the opportunity to participate and get involved, participating in fundraising events and philanthropic initiatives. The team at Fort Knox are continually inspired by the communities around us, and are encouraged to put forward ideas and recommendations for new initiatives that the company can support.
