Gebr. Roggendorf GmbH operates Germany's largest container warehouse in Cologne and offers storage containers for private and commercial use, short-term or long-term, with clear access and security concepts.

What a storage container is and what it’s used for

A storage container is a lockable, weatherproof storage room that can be rented flexibly. It is suitable for storing furniture, household items, files, goods, tools, or seasonal items.

Typical areas of use 

Storage containers are used for:

  • Moves and renovations

  • Lack of space at home or in the office

  • Archiving and file storage

  • Material and tool storage for tradespeople

  • Goods storage for trade and e-commerce

  • Seasonal storage (e.g. trade fair, event, or seasonal goods)

Choosing the right container size and assessing your needs

Choosing the right container size is crucial for cost and usability.

What container sizes are available 

Depending on the location, different container sizes are available, from compact units for single pieces of furniture up to large containers for entire households or commercial storage needs.

Switching containers if your space needs change 

If your space requirements change, switching to a larger or smaller unit is usually possible, without long-term commitment to an unsuitable size.

Rental period: flexible, short-term or long-term

Not every storage need can be planned months in advance.

Minimum rental periods and termination 

Storage containers can be rented short-term, and long-term solutions are also possible. Notice periods and contract durations are transparently regulated, so there are no unnecessary commitments.

Discounts for longer rental periods

Long-term rentals can lead to cost advantages, especially for companies or ongoing storage requirements.

Availability and access to the container warehouse

A key advantage of modern container warehouses is direct and flexible access.

Storage containers immediately available 

In many cases, storage containers are available immediately or at short notice, ideal for urgent space needs or unplanned moves.

24/7 access and drive-up 

Access to the container warehouse is possible at any time, day or night. Containers can usually be driven straight up to by car, van or truck to make loading and unloading efficient.

Security at the container warehouse 

Security is a key decision criterion, especially for valuable or sensitive items.

Secured and monitored premises 

The container warehouse is fenced, illuminated, and video-monitored. Only authorized persons have access, which minimizes unauthorized entry.

Lockable containers and access control 

Every storage container can be locked individually. Access regulations are clear and transparent, ensuring your property stays protected.

Condition of storage containers: dry, weatherproof, optionally insulated

Not every item in storage tolerates moisture or temperature fluctuations.

Protection from weather and dampness

The storage containers used are weatherproof and dry, reliably protecting furniture, boxes, files, and goods from rain and moisture.

Insulated or heated containers 

For more sensitive goods or longer storage periods, insulated or heated options can be provided depending on need—to prevent condensation and moisture damage.

Loading and unloading: convenient and practical

A storage container is only practical if it is easy to reach.

Direct drive-up and loading zones 

Containers can be driven up to directly, saving time and simplifying handling of heavy or bulky items.

Pallets, goods, and equipment 

Pallets, goods or larger quantities can also be stored. Depending on the facility, loading equipment, sufficient maneuvering space or organizational support may be available.

Use for private customers and businesses

Storage containers are not just for private moves.

Storage containers for private use

Ideal for furniture, household items, sporting equipment, or seasonal items—flexible and with no long-term commitment.

Storage containers for business and companies 

Tradespeople, companies, retailers or project teams use storage containers as temporary or permanent external warehouses, including for tools, materials, or stock.

File and archive storage in containers

Sensitive documents can also be stored in containers, under clear conditions.

GDPR-compliant archive storage 

For files, archives, or confidential documents, access, security, and organization must be ensured. Appropriate solutions enable data protection-compliant use.

Access restrictions and control 

Access to file containers can be limited to defined individuals, an important point for businesses and institutions.

Insurance, liability, and responsibility 

The question of protection always arises with stored goods.

Clarify insurance cover 

Whether insurance is included or should be taken out separately depends on the value and type of stored goods. Clear arrangements ensure security.

Liability for damages or theft 

Liability issues are regulated transparently. The goal is realistic protection with no unclear gray areas.

What may not be stored

Not everything belongs in a storage container.

Prohibited items

Hazardous substances, explosive or easily flammable materials, foodstuffs or gas cylinders are generally excluded. This ensures the safety of the entire facility.

Costs, invoicing, and contract clarity

A good storage offer stands out through transparent pricing.

Cost factors for storage containers 

The costs depend, among other things, on:

  • Container size

  • Rental period

  • Additional services (e.g. special containers, service)

Billing with no hidden costs 

Billing is clear and easy to understand, with no unexpected extra costs for administration, access, or regular use.
