How Boxxs Self Storage at Mill Road Industrial Estate Helps Tradespeople Grow in West Lothian
At Boxxs Self Storage Linlithgow, based in Mill Road Industrial Estate, we’re more than just a place to stash tools. For tradespeople and small business owners across West Lothian, we’ve become a launchpad — a flexible, secure stepping stone that helps you scale from self-employed to something bigger.
Over the past year, many customers have started with a single 20ft storage container. They use it for their tools, stock, or seasonal gear. Then, as work picks up, they take on a second container. Before long, they’re moving into their own industrial unit, right here in Mill Road Industrial Estate.
Boxxs supports that journey, and we’re proud of the many businesses we’ve helped grow.
Starting with Storage: Simple, Secure, and Scalable
Storage can be a daily headache for joiners, electricians, plumbers, decorators, and other self-employed tradespeople. Vans get overloaded. Garages fill up. And leaving tools lying around overnight is asking for trouble.
That’s where Boxxs Self Storage Linlithgow comes in.
Our 20-foot and 10-foot drive-up containers offer clean, dry, and secure storage options to suit every need. The 20-foot units provide 160 sq ft of space — ideal for trades with bulky equipment or growing stock — while our 10-foot containers deliver 80 sq ft for smaller loads or compact setups. Both sizes are windproof, watertight, and accessible 24/7, all within our Industrial estate with ANPR surveillance and a gated site featuring full-site CCTV.
From ladders and timber to saws, compressors, and stock materials, a Boxxs unit allows you to operate professionally without cluttering your home or risking your tools.
It’s simple: book online, drive right up, and go. Whether you’re based in Bo’ness, Polmont, Falkirk, or right here in Linlithgow, it’s secure storage without the faff.
Growing Into More Than One Box
As businesses expand, their needs evolve. Many customers start with one container and add another as they hire extra help or take on more projects. They might use one for tools and the other for materials, or one for day-to-day access and another for archive stock or seasonal kit.
At Boxxs, that kind of growth is easy. There’s no contract lock-in and no unnecessary red tape. You can expand your storage in minutes.
But what happens when two containers aren’t enough? That’s when the real opportunity kicks in.
From Container to Workshop: Moving Into Industrial Units at Mill Road
Because Boxxs is based at Mill Road Industrial Estate, one of West Lothian’s most in-demand business hubs, we can offer something most container sites can’t: the ability to graduate into proper industrial space.
We’ve seen it first-hand. A tradesperson starts with a container. Then, they take on another. As the business grows, they step into a small unit or workshop in the same yard, staying on-site, staying secure, and keeping their customers and routine intact.
We even have customers who still use their containers alongside their workshops — doubling down on storage while freeing up workspace.
We make the transition seamless. As landlords and operators of containers and industrial units, we keep things simple, supportive, and completely flexible.
What Can You Fit in a 20ft Container?
We’ve created a quick video to show exactly how many tools and equipment you can store in one of our 20-foot units—more than you might think.
Inside, you’ll see typical gear for a joiner or general tradesperson: shelving, tool chests, stock materials, ladders, paint tins, and power tools. Everything stays tidy, accessible, and easy to load in and out.
