Storage Unit FAQ —Your Questions Answered
Everything you need to know about renting a storage unit in Medicine Hat.
Do I need to sign a long-term contract?
+
No. All Railside Storage units are available on flexible month-to-month terms. There are no long-term commitments required. Move in when you need to, move out when you're done.
Can I access my unit after hours?
+
After-hours access is available for approved use and emergencies. Our automated entry system is accessible for authorized tenants in these cases. For regular weekday access during business hours, please contact us at (403) 878-3390.
What size storage unit do I need?
+
Our listed container sizes are 8×10, 8×20, and 8×40. If you're unsure which is best for your contents, visit our Pricing & Sizes page or call us at (403) 878-3390 and we can recommend the right fit.
Is my storage unit climate-controlled or fireproof?
+
Our container storage units are built from solid steel — non-combustible throughout. This makes them fire-resistant in a way that standard wood-frame or metal-clad buildings are not. For climate-controlled options, please call us to discuss current availability.
How secure is Railside Storage?

Very. Our facility features full CCTV camera coverage, gated access, and automated entry. Only authorized users can access the property. Your belongings are monitored around the clock.
What items can I NOT store in a storage unit?

You cannot store hazardous materials (flammables, explosives, chemicals), perishable food, living plants or animals, or illegal items. If you're unsure, call us before you move in.
How do I pay for my storage unit?
+
Payment details and accepted methods will be confirmed at the time of rental. Contact us at (403) 878-3390 for current payment options.
Can businesses rent storage units?
+
Absolutely. Railside Storage is a popular choice for Medicine Hat businesses needing inventory, equipment, or document storage. We offer flexible bulk unit options and after-hours access available for approved business use. See our Business Storage page for details.
Do you offer moving supplies?
+
Yes. We carry packing tape, bubble wrap, furniture covers, locks, and other supplies on-site. Pick them up when you come to move in. Call us at (403) 878-3390 to ask about current inventory.
What is offsite or container storage?
+
Offsite or container storage means renting a secure steel storage container for household or business items. Current container availability and rental terms can vary, so call us for up-to-date options and pricing.
