Safety video

The site operates rolling staircases to access upper floor units. You will need to move this to access your unit if on an upper level, whilst these may also need to be moved by ground floor unit customers if the stairs are blocking access to your unit door.

If your storage unit starts with the letter E, watch this short instructional video for moving the rolling staircase to these units.

00:03 A quick instructional video on how to use the forward facing stairs at the Ring
00:07 Road site. These are used for the upper containers, number ones to five, uh,
00:12 just because these go straight on. So first of all, before you move the stairs,
00:17 you need to release the, uh, feet.
00:20 So turn it clockwise to lift the feet up,
00:25 and you always need two people to move these stairs.
00:29 Just pull them out,
00:35 and just
00:38 slide them across until they're in position. Once you've made sure that the,
00:43 the lineup with the right-hand door of the container,
00:47 because that's the first door that opens,
00:49 but before you put the brakes back down, you need to push 'em back into place
00:53 to just ensure that the stairs physically meet the container.
01:02 Once they're in place, turn both of the feet anti-clockwise
01:11 and then, once this is on the floor,
01:13 the wheel will be loose and just spin round and the stairs will be secure.
01:18 Then you can go up the stairs.
01:29 Simply pull the catch up to release the safety gate,
01:33 And then you can access the door of your container.
01:39 An instructural video on how to use the, uh, side faces stairs on the Ring Road site.
01:44 These are used for the upper floor containers from number six,
01:47 all the way down to number 23. We use these ones because they're,
01:51 the gate opens onto the side of the container.
01:54 These ones have three breaks on them: two at the front,
01:58 and there's one just around the back, just here.
02:03 So these all need to be up before you move them,
02:05 and you must use two people to move the stairs.
02:09 So to release the brake,
02:12 turn it clockwise to lift the foot up,
02:16 and once all three feet are up, you can then move the containers with stairs.
02:23 Again, you want to line this up with the right hand door of your container.
02:28 And before putting the feet in place,
02:31 you just need to make sure they are flush up to the side of the container.
02:36 Once you're happy they're in place, turn all the feet anti-clockwise
02:43 until it lifts the wheels off the floor so they can't move.
02:58 This puts the stairs in securely. Ensure that you've put the third
03:03 brake down
03:04 At the end of the stairs.
03:06 Then you can safely go up the stairs,
03:16 and just release the catch to open the safety gate.
03:20 This allows you access to the right hand door of the container, which you open.
