Medical & Pharmaceutical Supply Storage

Storage for Pharmaceutical & Medical Sales Reps

Pharmaceutical and medical sales representatives often need a convenient place to keep samples, product literature, demo devices, and other sales materials between appointments. Instead of storing everything in a garage or traveling across town to retrieve your supplies, a storage unit near your territory can give you easier access to the materials you use regularly. When storing samples, marketing materials, demo equipment, and other business supplies, you can choose a unit size based on the amount of inventory you carry and scale your storage space as your territory or ordering needs change.

Storage for Practices & Clinics

Medical practices and clinics can use self storage to create additional space for general medical supplies, medical records, equipment, and other business items that don't need to be kept onsite. Storage units can provide overflow space when ordering needs change or when equipment needs to be stored between uses. Depending on your medical supply storage needs, a larger unit can provide room for bulk supplies or equipment without taking up valuable space.

Medical & Pharma Items That Can Be Stored in a Unit

Not every medical or pharmaceutical item is appropriate for self storage. Before moving supplies or equipment into a storage unit, review what can and cannot be stored with your storage facility's manager.

Climate-Controlled Storage for Medical Professionals

Climate-controlled storage units typically maintain temperatures of 55 to 80 degrees year-round, which can be useful for medical supplies, devices, records, and other business materials that need a more temperature-stable environment. However, keep in mind that self storage isn't a validated cold chain—it should not be used for products that need refrigeration, temperature validation, or other specialized temperature-controlled conditions.

Secure Storage

Extra Space Storage understands the importance of having a secure space to store medical devices, supplies, documents, and other common items used for medical sales reps and clinics. That's why we utilize exceptional security measures at our locations, like electronic gate access and video surveillance. Select locations may offer additional security features such as individually-alarmed units, an on-site resident manager, and security access to your floor only. Give our team a call to learn more.

Preparing Supplies for Storage

Before moving supplies or equipment into your storage unit, organize them in sealed containers and clearly label each container with its contents. Keep an inventory of what you're storing so you can quickly locate supplies when needed, and place containers on pallets or shelving when possible to keep them off the floor. Arrange your most frequently accessed items near the front of the unit for easier access.
