Our focus extends particularly to the safe storage of electrical items. Whether you are moving into a small apartment or a grand estate, there is likely electrical equipment that requires careful handling in transit and storage. Here, we will outline some crucial considerations for storing electrical devices properly.

Safety First

Removing Batteries

At Ribua Storage, we consider safety as a top priority. One significant safety precaution you must take is to remove any batteries from your electrical devices. Even small batteries can corrode over time, leading to battery acid leakage. Such leakage poses a risk of damaging your valuable electronic devices, so remember to prioritize battery removal.

Removing Cables and Wires

What comes next in the safety hierarchy? It is crucial to remove all cables and wires before placing an item into storage. If you forget this step, there's no need to worry; our professional team at Ribua Storage follows a checklist to ensure that every item is thoroughly examined before storage. Additionally, once you’ve removed the wires, label them clearly to avoid any confusion months later when you retrieve these items. This will certainly save you from the frustration of trying to remember which wire connects where.

Keep Original Packaging

Another vital rule is to retain the original packaging from your electrical equipment. Though it may be tempting to dispose of bulky box, it was specifically designed to protect the device's shape and size. If the original packaging has been discarded, don’t despair. Ribua Storage has a variety of container sizes available to ensure your equipment is adequately protected.

Avoid Stacking Boxes

While it might seem sensible to save on storage space by stacking boxes, avoid this practice with electrical items. Excessive weight may damage the items at the bottom. Our knowledgeable staff at Ribua is always ready to provide advice so you can choose the appropriate amount of space for your specific storage needs.

Keep Equipment Clean

Finally, it is vital to keep your screens and devices free from dust. When cleaning, use the appropriate cloth and cleaner to avoid scratching. Regular maintenance will ensure that your equipment remains in optimal condition.

If you are an electrical contractor, you likely possess a large array of tools that may remain idle for months. Rather than lugging them around, taking up space in your vehicle, consider storing them until the next time they are needed. This not only makes economic sense, but also protects your expensive tools. Ribua Storage operates multiple facilities throughout central Israel, employing staff that understands the specific requirements for effective storage of electrical equipment.

Effective Strategies for Storing Electronic Devices

Storing electronics—especially for the long term—might seem straightforward, but it isn't as simple as it appears. These devices contain delicate internal components that may erode or degrade when exposed to various elements, leading to failure or irreparable damage.

Understanding Harmful Elements

Like all items, electronic devices possess a limited shelf life as their internal components gradually degrade over time. However, certain external factors can accelerate this process:

Humidity

High humidity levels can create condensation on your devices, leading to potential short-circuiting. Additionally, excessive moisture can result in corrosion, which affects the electrical conductivity of internal components.

Dust

Accumulated dust can hinder electrical conductivity and lead to malfunction. Even more concerning is that dust can exacerbate heat build-up in devices during operation.

High Temperatures

Heat hastens the deterioration of essential hardware, negatively impacting devices' lifespan.

Keeping Electronics Safe During Storage

Incorrect storage of electronics can lead to severe damage. To safeguard your devices, consider the following tips:

1. Inventory and Organize

Before you start transporting electronics, sort them based on size, type, and condition. This step is crucial for effectively planning your storage strategy.

2. Remove All Batteries

Alkaline batteries can leak corrosively, damaging connected circuits, so ensure removal prior to storage. For devices with lithium batteries, maintain a charge of 50%-70% before storing.

3. Clean Before Storage

Dust and contaminants can be damaging. Clean all devices thoroughly before packing.

4. Secure Important Data

Ensure that all important data on your devices is backed up, especially for computers and smartphones, before storage.

5. Detach Accessories

Remove all connected accessories to prevent damage during storage.

6. Protect Screens and Monitors

Cover your devices' screens with protective material to prevent scratches and cracking.

7. Use Bubble Wrap

While not absolutely required, bubble wrap can provide extra cushioning against physical shocks.

8. Seal Gaps and Vents

Use cloth or archival tape to cover vents that could allow dust or pests access to internal components.

9. Utilize Original Packaging

For larger electronics, the original packaging offers optimal protection. If it isn't available, choose strong boxes that fit securely.

10. Store in a Cool, Dry Place

High temperatures and humidity can damage electronics, so select a suitable storage environment.

Electronics require special storage care. By following these guidelines, you ensure that your devices remain resilient against potential external harms.
