WE OFFER COMMERCIAL STORAGE OPTIONS FOR A VARIETY OF CHICAGO INDUTRIES
Chicago businesses have different storage challenges depending on their industries, facilities, and daily operations. Some need space for seasonal products, while others require temporary storage during major renovations or ongoing inventory management for multiple locations.
Planes offers commercial storage solutions in Chicago for businesses throughout the city and surrounding suburbs, including Aurora, Naperville, Schaumburg, Elk Grove Village, Oak Brook, and Joliet.
RETAILERS AND PRODUCT ROLLOUT TEAMS
Retail stores and shopping centers often need additional space for seasonal merchandise, promotional displays, fixtures, signage, and product inventory. Planes helps retailers store and organize these materials until they're ready for distribution or installation.
OFFICE FURNITURE AND FF&E PROVIDERS
Office furniture, fixtures, and equipment often arrive before a commercial space is ready for installation. Planes provides furniture and equipment storage in Chicago for businesses managing office renovations, furniture replacements, corporate relocations, and new commercial developments.
CONTRACTORS AND PROJECT-BASED BUSINESSES
Construction projects and commercial renovations rarely happen without schedule changes. Materials may arrive before installation begins, or equipment may need to remain in storage until a particular phase of construction is complete. Planes helps contractors and project managers store tools, fixtures, equipment, supplies, and project materials in an organized environment.
HEALTHCARE, RESTAURANT, AND HOSPITALITY TEAMS
Healthcare facilities, restaurants, and hotels often require storage during renovations, expansions, equipment upgrades, and new location openings. Planes can store furniture, fixtures, supplies, replacement equipment, signage, and other commercial assets until they're needed.
CORPORATE OFFICES AND RELOCATION TEAMS
Chicago's commercial office market includes everything from downtown high-rises to corporate campuses throughout the suburbs. When businesses renovate, relocate, consolidate departments, or redesign workspaces, they may need temporary storage. Planes supports these transitions with flexible storage programs.

A Secure Commercial Storage Facility for Chicago Businesses
When your company places furniture, merchandise, equipment, or important business assets into storage, keeping those items protected and organized is essential.

Our facility includes security monitoring, fire protection systems, organized racking, palletized storage, and temperature-controlled storage options.

Storage & Distribution Solutions
Storage is often one step in a larger logistics process. Once merchandise, furniture, or equipment is ready to move, businesses need a reliable way to get it to the next destination.
Planes combines commercial storage and distribution services to help companies manage goods from initial receiving through outbound delivery.
Our team can help with receiving, inventory organization, sorting, kitting, staging, order preparation, and shipment coordination.
For businesses managing multiple locations, these services can reduce the need to coordinate several separate providers.
Chicago is especially well connected for regional freight transportation. Major highways such as I-88, I-90, I-55, and I-294 help connect businesses with local markets.
The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning identifies northeastern Illinois as a major freight transportation hub supported by highways, rail infrastructure, and other transportation networks.
With a facility in Aurora, Planes can help businesses coordinate storage and distribution activities throughout the region.
Our additional transportation and freight management services can support companies that need help moving stored goods to warehouses, offices, stores, or commercial project sites.
Short-Term and Long-Term Commercial Storage
Different business situations require different storage arrangements. Planes offers flexible options for companies that need temporary space or ongoing storage support.
Short-Term Commercial Storage
Short-term storage is useful when your business needs extra space during a transition.
For example, a company renovating an office in River North may need to remove furniture and equipment temporarily. A retailer preparing for a holiday promotion may need additional storage for displays and merchandise before distributing them to stores.
Our team can help organize your assets and coordinate their return, distribution, or installation when your project is ready to move forward.
Long-Term Commercial Storage
Some businesses require storage throughout the year rather than for a single project.
Planes offers long-term commercial storage in Chicago for companies that need ongoing space for business furniture, fixtures, inventory, equipment, supplies, and other commercial assets.
This option is useful for businesses managing surplus furniture, rotating inventory, replacement equipment, or materials supporting multiple facilities.
For instance, a company with offices in Chicago, Naperville, and Schaumburg may want to maintain a centralized inventory of furniture that can be redeployed as its space requirements change.
Instead of purchasing replacement items for every office, the company can identify and reuse suitable furniture already in storage.
Planes can help maintain visibility into those items and coordinate their movement when needed.
WHY CHOOSE PLANES FOR CHICAGO COMMERCIAL STORAGE?
Choosing a commercial storage company should involve more than comparing square footage. Your provider should understand how your business operates and what needs to happen after items are placed in storage.
Flexible Business Storage Programs
Planes offers short-term and long-term storage options for seasonal inventory, office furniture, surplus equipment, project materials, and ongoing commercial assets. Our team can help develop a storage program based on your inventory volume, project schedule, and future distribution needs.
More Than a Traditional Storage Unit

Professional Commercial Storage Teams
Our teams understand the requirements involved in handling office furniture, equipment, fixtures, and commercial inventory. We work with business owners, facility managers, contractors, and logistics teams to coordinate receiving, storage, and release schedules.
Regional and National Logistics Support
Although our Chicago-area facility is located in Aurora, Planes can support businesses with operations throughout Illinois and other markets. Our warehouse and logistics network helps organizations coordinate storage, transportation, and commercial projects across multiple locations.
