Storage for event equipment

In the massive logistics of events, storage is critical to the smooth running of the event itself, as well as to the long-term future of the company. Indeed, organisations can't afford to renew their equipment every year because it has been damaged or stolen.

Are you an events project manager, branch manager or sales representative? Discover how HOMEBOX can support you to meet your storage needs, by taking into account your requirements in terms of availability, proximity and security.

There are many sizes of storage units, providing a wide range of suitable solutions for local and international events, such as: 

• Festivals (The Festival d’Avignon, Annecy International Animation Film Festival, Angoulême International Comics Festival, the Cannes Film Festival, etc.)
• Trade fairs and exhibitions (The Foire de Paris, wedding and bridal trade shows, Japan Expo, etc.)
• Sporting events (Vendée Globe, Tour de France, Paris Marathon, etc.)
• Art exhibitions and openings
• Functions and galas
• Concerts (Vieilles Charrues, Francofolies)
• Company seminars and parties
• Seasonal events (Christmas market, Nice Carnival, Braderie de Lille)
• Weddings
• Meetings
• Etc.

For instance, our team in Cannes La Bocca works every year with clients in the framework of the Cannes Film Festival, the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity and the Monaco Grand Prix. It takes equipment delivery for French and international companies. And it also helps yacht owners to empty their boats so that they can organise one-off events.

Storage can help event professionals save space and increase efficiency. That's why we strongly recommend that our customers group together their equipment by type. This includes: 

• Furniture (tables, chairs, counters, displays, easels, etc.)
• Accessories (crockery, bouquets, tablecloths, etc.)
  
• Communication tools (signage, flyers, goodies, POS displays, posters, brochures, business gifts, etc.)
• Stand components (marquee, tent, podium, stage, etc.)
• Decorative elements
• Lighting and sound equipment
• Audiovisual and IT equipment
• Demo stocks and products
• Etc.

As event professionals, logistics are at the heart of your concerns. HOMEBOX can provide extensive expertise to help you store your equipment between events or before a major festival, all in the best possible conditions thanks to: 

• Secure storage units equipped with the latest anti-intrusion technology, motion detectors as well as perimeter and volumetric alarms (APSAD standards)
  
• Videosurveillance in common areas and delivery bays, connected 24 hours a day to a central emergency response centre
  
• Fire-fighting systems that are regularly checked to guarantee complete security for users
  
• Clean, healthy spaces with controlled temperature and humidity, protected from light and pests
  
• A range of storage unit sizes so you can always rent a space that meets your needs
  
• The option to change unit size at any time, free of charge
  
• More than 160 facilities in France, meaning there's always a self-storage facility near your next event
  
• 7-day access from 6 am to 11 pm using a personal code (and 24/7 access upon request at some facilities like in Colombes, for instance).
  
• Nearby unloading bay to save time 
  
• Self-service handling equipment (hand trucks, pallet trucks, etc.)
  
• Supplies and accessories on sale (cardboard boxes, protective covers, adhesive tape, etc.)
  

In addition to a range of guarantees included in each contract, several of our facilities also offer bespoke services:

• Transport and handling of equipment to the event venue (convention centre, beach, stadium, concert hall, castle, etc.)

• The option to store equipment in different facilities with a single contract and centralised invoicing
• A business domiciliation service
• A dedicated contact person
• A baseline waste disposal and sorting service for key accounts
  

Furthermore, some facilities like the one in Cannes La Bocca offer specific services to meet the needs of events professionals: 

• Taking delivery of parcels and equipment directly from the boats in the marina to transport them to our storage units (see also our yachting service).
  
• High ceiling warehouse and crane for storing exhibition stands and bulky items
• Warehouse access for large trucks and semi-trailers and unloading using pallet trucks
