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 A, B, C, D or F watch this short instructional video for moving the rolling staircase to these units.

						Welcome to this rolling staircase safety video at our Leeds Ring Road site.

						00:03
						Access to upper floor units at the site is

						00:07
						via a rolling staircase. You may also need to move the

						00:11
						staircase to gain access to lower floor

						00:14
						units, depending upon the position that the

						00:18
						staircase was left when last in use.

						00:21
						When you arrive at site, you will find that each row of units

						00:25
						has its own dedicated staircase. This is a solid, secure,

						00:29
						fixed staircase. However, it is of a lightweight design to allow you

						00:33
						to move it by one person. It's likely that when you

						00:37
						arrive in site, the staircase will already be locked in place from its

						00:41
						previous use.

						00:43
						To release the staircase and allow you to move it, simply come to this

						00:47
						locking lever. It's a spring-loaded mechanism, so you pull it

						00:51
						back

						00:52
						move it to the left-hand side, and that will keep it in its release

						00:55
						position. What you will notice is that the locking pin has

						00:59
						disengaged from the locking area on the main

						01:03
						bar.

						01:06
						Now, before you start moving the unit, you need to assess that the unit is not

						01:10
						already in use, there are no obstructions, and other users are not going to be

						01:13
						affected by you using the unit. So firstly, just check on the upper

						01:17
						floor that the upper floor unit is not already in use.

						01:21
						Likewise, check the row of units where you're going to be

						01:25
						travelling and make sure there's no customers already inside those

						01:28
						units.

						01:31
						Now I've checked that the area is okay and that we're all good to move it, I'm

						01:35
						simply just going to push

						01:37
						the staircase along

						01:39
						until the top platform is aligned with the storage unit I wish

						01:43
						to enter.

						01:47
						Once I've got it roughly aligned, what I can do then is come

						01:51
						back to the locking lever. I'm going to release the locking

						01:54
						lever by moving it to the right and letting the spring-loaded

						01:58
						mechanism push the locking bar back onto the main

						02:02
						unit. Now, at this stage, you may need to make some small adjustments

						02:06
						so that the locking pin engages with its locking u-

						02:10
						locking bar on this main unit.

						02:15
						We'll just make a small adjustment, nudging that along

						02:20
						until we hear the pin lock in. Now the unit is

						02:23
						securely in place, I'm free to access the storage

						02:27
						unit.

Our sustainability commitment

With climate change now at the forefront of most people’s minds, action needs to be taken. At Ready Steady Store we’re already taking steps to reduce our carbon footprint, a major factor in combating climate change.

Our latest tree planting initiative will see us reduce our footprint even further. That’s because trees absorb CO2, so they’re a great way to minimise the harmful effect of CO2 emissions on the environment. And with more trees planted, the closer we’ll be to achieving a carbon-neutral Britain, along with our goal to become a carbon-neutral business.

We’re doing everything we can to help create a sustainable future for the planet, and now you can help too. All you have to do is leave us a Google Review, and for every one posted we’ll plant a tree with our partner more:trees.
