Alltranz Removals provides containerised storage from our depot at Long March Industrial Estate, Broad March, Daventry NN11 4HE. We are Road Haulage Association members, Move Assured accredited, and hold an International CPC alongside a Waste Carriers Licence. This is not self storage: your goods go into a gated, alarmed compound with 24-hour CCTV and staffed access. No padlock, no key, no unattended unit.
Most storage operators hand you a padlock and a postcode. Alltranz runs its storage operation to the same logistics standard as its removals fleet: goods are documented before loading, containers are numbered, and every item in our care appears on a written receipt you keep. The compound at Broad March is fenced, monitored by smoke detectors, fire alarms and 24-hour CCTV, and access is staffed rather than open. Our fleet runs satnav, trackers and dash cams.
We are a family-run Daventry business. You are dealing with a person, not a job title.
When you book storage with Alltranz, your goods are itemised and documented before they go into a container. You receive a written receipt listing everything in our care. The container is then padlocked and protected by sensor alarms inside a compound with security fencing, smoke detection and 24-hour CCTV.
Containerised storage at Alltranz suits customers whose move does not run A to B in a straight line. A chain gap between selling and buying is the most common reason: you exchange on your sale before you complete on your purchase, and you need somewhere secure for your belongings in between. Renovation periods, delayed completions, and international relocations are equally common use cases. On the commercial side, businesses between premises, downsizing offices, or holding seasonal stock use our racking and commercial containers.
Storage can be booked as part of a full Alltranz removal or as a standalone booking. For the full range of storage services at our Daventry depot, see our storage solutions page.
Our Daventry depot serves customers across Northamptonshire and beyond. For full removals and storage, see our Daventry removals and storage page. We also cover national moves across the UK, from Land's End to John O'Groats, and can hold goods at Broad March for customers relocating from further afield.
Storage between house moves is one of the most common reasons customers contact us. The typical scenario: you have exchanged on your sale, your completion dates do not align, and you need your furniture and boxes off the premises before the keys to the new property are in your hand.

For more on planning this kind of move, see our guide to storage between homes. If you need a full house removal alongside the storage booking, see our house removals page.
We hold 8ft, 10ft and 20ft shipping containers at our Broad March depot. The right size is confirmed at survey stage once we know your volume. Most household contents from a three-bedroom property fit comfortably into a 20ft container. Smaller loads, single rooms or business archive files typically suit an 8ft or 10ft unit. We also offer internal crates for individual items or partial loads.
Staffed access. This is not a self-storage facility where you collect a key and visit whenever you like. Access to your container is by arrangement with our team. The compound at Long March Industrial Estate is gated, fenced, monitored by 24-hour CCTV, and protected by smoke detectors, fire alarms and sensor alarms. We document everything going in and issue a written receipt. You deal with a person, not an automated entry system.
As long as you need. Short-term storage covers chain gaps and delayed completions, typically one to eight weeks. Longer-term storage suits renovation periods, international relocations or a business waiting on new premises. Storage can be booked alongside a full Alltranz removal or as a standalone service.
