We are particularly concerned when considering what’s involved in the storage of electrical items. Everyone who moves into the smallest flat to the largest most palatial residence has electrical equipment that needs to be moved and possibly stored. So, we wanted to set out four you the numerous critical items that you need to consider.
What is the most important aspect of all?
SAFETY
REMOVAL OF BATTERIES
Clearly its safety and we at Ribua place this item at the top of the list. What are the safety items you need to consider when storing electrical equipment? One of the things you must do and perhaps it wouldn’t immediately occur to you, is to remove any batteries from your electrical devices. Batteries, even very small ones, can corrode, and this may cause the battery acid to leak, if this happens, it can easily damage your possibly new or expensive electronic equipment, so don’t forget, be aware of the importance of removing batteries.

REMOVAL OF CABLES AND WIRES
What do you think comes next in the safety stakes? Once again, it’s something that may not necessarily occur to you. It’s the removal of all cables and wires before you put an item into storage. If this slips your mind, you don’t need to worry because our professional staff at Ribua Storage have a check-list and every item is checked and double-checked before it goes into storage, in order to protect your valuable electronic equipment. Another important aspect when talking of wires and cables is that you must once you have removed them, you can imagine the chaos that could occur if several months later you open the box of wires and cables and you have no idea what goes where! So, don’t forget label them clearly. It will then be so much easier to remember which wire goes where. We at Ribua will make sure that you will not be sitting on the floor scratching your head wondering where that blue cable goes.
KEEP ORIGINAL PACKAGING
Another important rule is to keep the original box the piece of equipment came in. If it’s a big bulky piece, we often want to get rid of the big bulky box. Don’t. Keep it. It protects the item, because it was actually made to hold that particular shape and size. If, however the original container has been thrown away, perhaps by accident, you don’t need to worry because we keep all sorts of shapes and sizes of boxes so you can adequately protect any piece of equipment.
DON’T PILE BOXES
Perhaps you may think that you can save on storing space to be rented by piling one box on top of another. Don’t do that if it is something electrical as the item could be damaged by having too much weight piled on top of it. But the efficient staff here at Ribua will give you all the advice you need, so you will know just how much space you need to rent for specific items. So good to know that you’re in safe and professional hands.
KEEP EQUIPMENT CLEAN
Finally, don’t get your screens get dusty, and make sure that when you clean them, you do so with the right cloth and the right product. It’s easy to scratch a screen and they all need to be cleaned regularly.
Are you perhaps an electrical contractor? Most electricians have to keep a huge number of large, bulky tools available for when they need them, although it may be several months between the times when you are called upon to use a particular piece of equipment. So rather than carting it around with you all the time, taking up space in your van, and getting dusty and possibly damaged by other pieces of equipment, put it in storage so it’s available as and when you need it. Makes sense economically, and protects that expensive piece of equipment. Ribua Storage with branches all over central Israel, is the most professional storage company in Israel, with a staff that understands the needs of each piece of equipment and will ensure that it is properly protected.
