About Box n Go Storage and Moving Rooms
Each Box n Go storage and moving Room measures 1.525m wide by 2.4m long by 2.15m high and holds about 1 to 1 ½ rooms of furniture (7 cubic metres) with a capacity of 1 tonne.

Box n Go Rooms are built out of weather resistant exterior grade plywood and dry timber (sourced from sustainable forests) to provide a very stable, breathable and chemical free environment during the storing and transporting of your belongings.
The wood frame construction allows the Box n Go Rooms to "breathe" so that they equalize with the environment around them. | When a Box n Go Room is stored outdoors at your house for a few days, the climate inside the Box n Go Room equalizes to the climate outside of it, preventing condensation. When you are finished loading your Box n Go Room, we transport it either to our storage centre or to your new location. At this point the climate inside the Box n Go room equalizes to its new environment. The same process repeats itself when we return the Box n Go Room to your door. This keeps your goods and belongings smelling just like they did when you packed them.
Storage containers that are airtight and made of steel, aluminum or fiberglass develop condensation during this process because the temperature inside the storage room changes but the water vapor in the air has nowhere to go, potentially leading to mold and mildew. The aluminum or fiberglass doesn't help because it doesn't breathe.
Each Box n Go Room has a large, single door to facilitate loading of large pieces of furniture. This door is fixed to the Box n Go Room by several hinges and fastened top and bottom by two fasteners for locking with a padlock. Storage and moving rooms are secured and locked by the customer and no one other than the key holder has access.
When the Box n Go Room is out of our storage centre for loading or unloading and packing, each room is covered with a highly durable, heavy-duty, weather-resistant Tarpol cover engineered to protect your belongings. This cover is impervious to rain but still allows the Box n Go Room to breathe because of its zipped closures and strategically placed waterproof vents.
There is no need to carry your items up a ramp or lift them onto a dock. Your Box n Go Room is placed at ground level and door access is about 100mm above ground level. This prevents the moisture (be it rain or sprinklers) from the ground from affecting anything inside the Box n Go Room.

Box n Go Climate Change Strategy
Like you we care for the environment. When you use Box n Go you’ll have the comfort of knowing our storage and moving services are carbon neutral.
Box n Go is an accredited carbon neutral business Global warming is changing the way the world does business. Consumers are demanding low carbon products and services – we are proud that our Company, Box n Go, is certified NoC02.
Our NoC02 certification means that we have measured, reduced and offset our total greenhouse gas impact. The NoC02 certification means we are carbon neutral as we have negated all greenhouse emissions that occur as a consequence of our operation.
As a start-up, we purchase accredited carbon credits to offset the estimated emissions from the first 12 months of our operations. Furthermore, we report to the Carbon Reduction Institute each quarter on all of our directly controllable emissions, including flights, electricity consumption and waste. The emissions from these sources will then be offset each quarter. This is performed through CRI’s online emissions reporting portal.
To cover off on any uncertainties in this approach, we have agreed to have a full carbon audit encompassing the emissions from all purchases made as well as the emissions from staff travel and waste after completing 12 months worth of operations. Through execution of the agreement, Box n Go is liable to cover the shortfall between the amount offset and the amount emitted through the purchase of carbon credits, should the latter amount exceed the former.
Box n Go’s 2008 Fleet vehicles reduce Greenhouse Emissions through lower fuel consumption All our fleet vehicles run on diesel and all vehicles – trucks, twin-cab utes, and fork lifts – were purchased new in 2008. One litre of diesel burned in an engine will produce 2.68kg of Carbon Dioxide (CO2). Improved fuel efficiency drastically reduces CO2.
Our new 2008 Isuzu FVL 1400 flat-bed truck, for example, saves 5% fuel when compared to the 2006 model which we estimate will represent a CO2 savings of 4,556 kg per annum (Isuzu Australia Limited, January 2008).
Box n Go’s 2008 Isuzu trucks are rated to Euro IV substantially improving air quality gases Our new 2008 Isuzu trucks are rated to Euro IV which is substantially ‘cleaner’ especially when it comes to emission particulate matter (PM), the smoke, soot and harmful invisible unburned hydro carbons, emitted from a truck. PM levels from our trucks are 98% lower compared to trucks sold back in 1995 – you’ll not see any black exhaust plume following a Box n Go vehicle!
Box n Go’s storage and moving Rooms are carbon neutral The Box n Go Room is constructed out of wood (from managed forests) with pressure treated wood at the bottom of the Room to protect your belongings from groundwater or rain water while the Room is on your property. The wood frame allows the Room to “breathe” while stored in our storage facility (metal boxes can sweat and experience interior condensation when the humidity and temperature change). When the Box n Go Room is out of our storage facility, it is covered with a heavy-duty, water-proof cover to protect your belongings.
