AMDG Innovations Launches Modular Self-Storage Unit

AMDG Innovations recently announced an inexpensive, modular solution for self-storage owners at the Texas Self-Storage Association (TSSA) annual conference and trade show. While the product is new to the United States, it has been installed more than 200,000 times in other countries over 15-plus years and has a long history of performance.

Besides pricing, what makes it different from other modular systems is the fact that it is flat-packed and easy to deliver to any site. Two workers can fully assemble the unit in four hours or less with basic tools. At under $35 a square foot installed, it is significantly cheaper than any other modular unit offered in the U.S.

Single-story units can be placed on setbacks and easements which gives owners a way to monetize currently empty space on their properties. For new buildings, the units are stackable up to three stories high. This reduces typical build time by 50 percent to 60 percent and costs 40 percent to 50 percent over traditional methods.

“Contractors and distributors have a new solution to offer their self-storage clients that is strong, affordable and fast,” said David Miank, development manager at AMDG Innovations. “Owners will save thousands of dollars over other solutions and recoup their investment in about 2.5 years.”

AMDG Innovations’ fully insulated, and sound-dampened unit is easy to customize with a client's corporate colors, climate control, various types of doors and internal partitions. The pods are available in units that are 8 feet or 10 feet wide and up to 40 feet in length. The most common sizes for the self-storage marketplace are 10-by-10 and 10-by-20, but 10-by-40 would make sense for larger new build projects. Doors, windows (if desired) and interior walls can be put anywhere because none of the walls are load bearing. The pods are weather hardened as well.

“These units have survived hurricanes, typhoons, floods, fires, and tornadoes when buildings around them collapsed. We anticipate they will be of interest to apartment and other commercial contractors as well,” added Miank.
