Z-Box delivery for Nesta in Dublin, Ireland
We recently delivered our Z-Boxes to Nesta in Churchtown, south of Dublin. Danny and Seth received the containers, and prepared everything for the construction team. Our construction team assembled and positioned them. For them, it was quite a journey. First to Cherbourg (FR) and from there by ferry directly to Dublin.
Z-Box delivery to Kontain in Vallentuna, Sweden
Danny supervised early 2023 delivery for the by Kontain storage park to be developed in Vallentuna. Quite a large location in an easily accessible business park between the city of Stockholm and the airport. Kontain is realizing an unmanned self-storage park here with the help of our Z-Boxes, complete with electric gate, openable with a code on your mobile, and plenty of camera surveillance.
Storage Zeeland chooses Z-Box in Zierikzee, Netherlands
Recently we placed our Z-Boxes on the site of Zeeland Storage, the storage company in Zierikzee owned by Martin van Rijn and Jascha de Jong. In addition to the existing storage shed, they can now offer outdoor storage, a long-held wish. We asked Jascha about her experiences with USC, the delivery process and initial customer feedback.
Lagerbox expands in Spandau, Berlin
In April 2022, the construction of a large warehouse in Berlin began for the company Bearingbox. Lagerbox is among the larger self storage companies in Germany, but has Dutch roots. Nice to experience the Dutch commercial spirit of owner Peter Blauw across the border. To our colleagues Danny and Maarten the honor of taking up residence in a Berlin hotel. This is in order to manage the construction and logistics process. Read more below.
New rentbox24 branch in Erkelenz, Germany
USC recently completed a self storage park for rentbox24. The location is the 4812 Erkelenz, Germany, not far from the border with Limburg. Click below for the interview with Alex Heuters, co-owner. He talks about the entire process from the initial idea to realization.
Two parks in France for Carrébox
In March 2022, we completed a container park in the northern French town of Valenciennes. This involved a park for Carrébox, owned by the family business Coisne, a household name within the French storage market. By 2020, we had delivered the first park for Carrébox. This took place during the first period of the European lockdown, the week of March 16, 2020. With a lot of effort from all parties, it was then possible, with remote guidance from us, to build the park as planned.
Tarka Storage chooses USC in Bideford, England
Almost all our containers go from the factory by ship to Rotterdam and then by truck to Deventer. Our logistics partner De Roos takes them out of the ISO container, in which they are transported, and then performs a kind of pre-assembly. On a project, they depart again from Deventer to the location in the Netherlands or elsewhere in Europe where they are expected.
For shipments to England, however, this is a pricey exercise. The total price would then be about €5,000 higher for the customer, reason enough to adjust the route. For our customer Tarka Storage, we were able to divert one ISO container full of our containers from an ongoing shipment from Asia to Southampton. From there, the container was transported to the intended location in Bideford, Devon and delivered there.
Park in York, England
In April 2022, we had planned a delivery at Inner Space Stations. This is a company with multiple offices in and around historic York, England. The delivery of the containers was already scheduled for February, but unfortunately, due to the busy schedule of shipping companies, it was delayed by several weeks.
Clare Storage chooses outdoor storage
Clare Storage, Ireland, expands storage capabilities with Z-Boxes
Owner Pat Quinn of Clare Storage, a storage company in Clarecastle, a town in the west of Ireland, got in touch with us during the last FEDESSA trade show in Birmingham. He was immediately excited about the possibilities of our storage containers. The fact that we could also deliver them quickly was the deciding factor.
Four months later, the time had come and we were able to deliver our Z-Boxes on site. With the help of local forces, under Maarten’s supervision, they were assembled and set up in the right location in no time.
We wish Clare Storage the best of luck with our new storage containers!

USC helps Storage Zelhem with marketing campaigns, ensuring new storage units fill up quickly
Zelhem, Netherlands
“I came into contact with USC through my hauler. One thing led to another, I had some space left on my property and was like, ‘Why not?’ Let me give it a try with a number of containers. After all, for me it’s an extra income and the financial risks are very low. I opted for a lease structure through USC.”
Alfred Hissink, owner Storage Zelhem
Z-Box enables ideal motorcycle storage on outdoor area Ikwilopslagruimtehuren.nl
Uithoorn, Netherlands
“We wanted some smaller boxes that would also be suitable for motorcycle storage. For that we have now taken the variant with four units in a container, they are ideal for motorcycles. USC installed electricity in them for the trickle chargers. The customers are satisfied, they think it looks nice and everything works well.”
Niels Fokkema, owner ikwilopslagruimtehuren.nl
Storage420 was looking for outdoor storage space that fitted well on the site
Hoofddorp, The Netherlands
“USC could offer me what I was looking for. Good quality outdoor storage space that also looks nice and fits well on my property. Besides this, the Z-Box’s multifunctionality allows me to offer my customers the flexibility that other parties cannot offer.
The Streppel brothers combine passion for their profession with a great deal of expertise; they have a suitable answer to every question. The Z-Box absolutely meets my expectations and my customers also think the boxes look very nice. In the future, I definitely want to take more Z-Boxes.”
Erik Ketel, owner Ketel Movers and Storage 420
Storage box Zutphen wanted attractive, safe and well-insulated storage on the outdoor site
Zutphen, The Netherlands
“I chose the Z-Boxes because they look nice, there is good insulation possible and they are heated/frozen. A nice storage unit also conveys to the customer the confidence that your things are stored there safely and well.
They explained to me at USC all the options of the different types so that I could make a good choice. I opted for the lease option. Soon I want to put them in another location.”
Aljan Annevelink, owner Opslagbox Zutphen
Safe Store Storage has decorated the outdoor area with Z-Boxes and rents out the spaces faster than before
Hellevoetsluis, The Netherlands
“These Z-Boxes look fine, they are also well insulated so you can’t get moisture in. An improved version of a shipping container, so to speak. Within a short time I had already 25 of the available space rented out, that went much faster than before. The customers are very satisfied, they like the containers.”
Jan-Pieter Wisse, owner Safe Store Storage
Mini-Box wanted to upgrade the outdoor area with nice storage containers and offer engine storage
Zuidland, The Netherlands
“We were looking for a proper solution for some empty plots of land on our site and we also wanted to offer motorcycle storage.. I looked at several providers and options for this and I found the Z-Box the most interesting because of its neat appearance.
The box looks less like a container and that gives a more familiar feeling. So by purchasing the Z-Boxes we were able to kill two birds with one stone.
The service from and contact with USC is excellent, good aftercare was also provided. It is important that the customers who use the Z-Box are also satisfied”.
Arianne van der Wal, owner Mini-Box Zuidland
