Looking for drive-up self storage in Linlithgow?
If you need compact, secure, and flexible storage in Linlithgow, Bo’ness, or West Lothian, our new Strongholds™ 5ft drive-up self-storage units are made for exactly that. Designed for tradespeople, small business owners, and local residents who need extra space without the size or cost of a full container, each Strongholds unit offers a smarter way to store what matters.
A Strongholds unit is one-quarter of a standard 20-foot container, measuring approximately 2.95 metres deep by 1.20 metres wide, with a full-height roll-up door for easy access. These 5-foot drive-up units are the ideal size for tools, household overflow, or small business stock, giving you 40 square feet of clean, secure space.
These aren’t repurposed containers. Every Strongholds unit is purpose-built in the factory, with four equally sized, individually accessible compartments. Each one comes with a Boxxs blue roll-up steel door, secure lock fittings, and is housed within our gated, CCTV-monitored facility at Mill Road Industrial Estate in Linlithgow.
Strongholds units are simple, safe, and made for real-world use.
Smart Storage for Tradespeople and Small Business

Strongholds drive-up self-storage units are ideal for tradespeople, e-commerce retailers, and local residents. Each unit provides around 40 square feet, roughly the size of a large garden shed. In simple terms, it’s enough space to hold the contents of a small one-bedroom flat: a sofa, an armchair, stacked boxes, a washing machine, and even a fridge. For tradespeople, it’s perfect for toolboxes, lengths of pipe, workbenches, or seasonal van stock.
Despite their compact footprint, every Strongholds unit gives you full drive-up access just like our larger storage units. You can park right at the door, load or unload from your van or car, and be on your way, no corridors, no stairs, no hassle.
If you’re a plumber, joiner, or electrician searching for secure small storage units in Linlithgow or Bo’ness, a Strongholds unit offers dry, weatherproof storage with convenient, anytime access. If you run an e-commerce business from home, it’s a smarter alternative to cluttering your living space with inventory.
We’ve also seen strong demand from people who are downsizing, renovating, or simply looking for the best-value self-storage near Linlithgow or Bo’ness. Whether it’s short-term or all year round, a Strongholds unit gives you secure, accessible storage, on your terms.
24-Hour Access and Drive-Up Convenience

Whether you’re loading tools before sunrise or dropping off stock on a Saturday evening, your storage is always ready when you are.
