Contractor & Fleet Storage

A single unit commonly holds a work truck or van plus racking, tools and materials, and larger units take multiple vehicles or a truck-and-trailer combination. Units run from about 600 to 2,220 square feet, every one is 20 feet wide with a 16-foot ceiling, and two trucks can park side by side.

Most units have 12-foot by 12-foot roll-up doors, and some have 14-foot by 14-foot doors. Measure your tallest load, including ladder racks, lift masts and anything strapped on top, and ask for a 14-foot door if you are over 12 feet. On length, the deepest units take rigs up to 45 feet long.

Yes. Enclosed drive-up units take trailers, skid steers, mini excavators, scissor lifts, compressors and similar gear on concrete floors. Tell us the largest piece you need to bring in and we will match it to a unit rather than guessing.

Yes, in the drive-through units. Drive aisles are sixty feet wide and several units are drive-through, so you pull in one end and out the other — useful when a crew is hooking up before dawn and nobody wants to spot a trailer in the dark.

No work of any kind can be performed on a vehicle at the facility, including changing the oil, antifreeze or any other fluids, so plan on doing service and repairs elsewhere. Loading, unloading, organizing and other minor work inside your unit are fine.

Yes. Units have 120-volt electrical outlets and fluorescent lighting, so you can keep cordless tool batteries charged and see what you are loading at 5 AM.

The property has 34 security cameras with continuous recording, a secure gated entrance with tenant passcode access, and an after-hours break-in alarm on the entrance. Units are fully enclosed rather than an open yard, so trucks and tools sit behind a roll-up door and a gate rather than a fence line.

The gate is open from 5:00 AM to midnight every day, which covers early load-outs and late returns. Each tenant is given a four-digit passcode to enter and exit. If more than one person on your crew needs to get in, raise it with the office when you set up the account. The office is open Monday through Saturday, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Usually, once you count everything. A commercial lease adds triple-net charges, utilities, insurance, a deposit of one to three months and often a personal guaranty on top of base rent, and commits you for years. A unit is one monthly rate on month-to-month terms, and small industrial space in Bakersfield is both scarce and priced at a premium when it exists.

Yes. Insulated units — R30 ceiling, R19 walls — hold up well for lumber, fixtures, cabinetry, tile and wire that suffer in an uninsulated shell or an open yard through a Bakersfield summer. You can install your own shelving or racking to use the 16-foot height; anything mounted to the floor or walls needs the owner's approval first.

No. Combustible liquids are not allowed in the units, along with plants, perishable food and live animals. Keep gas cans, solvents and similar products at another location.

Yes, and trades do it constantly. Month-to-month terms mean you can add an adjacent unit for a heavy stretch and give notice when it ends, without subleasing or buying out a term. Ask what is open near you when you reserve so you can expand next door.

8700 Scobee Street, Bakersfield, CA 93311 — by the Walmart on Gosford, between White Lane and Panama Lane. It is reached on city streets rather than the freeway: roughly five to ten minutes from southwest Bakersfield, and ten to fifteen from Rosedale and the Northwest straight down Gosford Road.
