Farm and harvest storage in Echuca
The district around Echuca, from Rochester and Lockington to Kyabram and across the river into the Riverina, runs on farming. Farm sheds fill up fast, and contractors and seasonal crews often need a lock-up base in town for a few months. A drive-up unit at Echuca Storage, 11 Murray Valley Highway, Echuca, is a simple, secure overflow.
We have 300 drive-up units from 2.0m × 3.0m to 9.0m × 4.0m H. Trucks can drive in and staff accept deliveries for customers. Gate access is 8am–8pm, 7 days. Call (03) 4410 8566.
$1 first 4 weeks for new customers, then the normal rate. 3-month minimum stay, direct debit only, ends 31 Dec 2026. Farm businesses qualify.

Deliveries while you are on the header

Staff accept deliveries for customers, and trucks can drive in, so a supplier can drop parts or materials at the unit while you keep working. Call first so we know a delivery is coming. The office is open 9am–4pm Monday to Friday, and weekends by appointment.

Why a unit in town works for farms
- Close to suppliers. We are on the Murray Valley Highway in Echuca, where much of the district’s parts and machinery trade is.
- Lock-up, not a paddock. Tools and parts are behind a roller door and a gate, not in an open shed on a back road.
- Flexible. Standard terms have no lock-in and no minimum stay, with 4 weeks’ notice to leave. Take a bigger unit for harvest and switch to a smaller one after, when one is vacant.
- Weekend access. Gates open 8am–8pm, 7 days, including weekends in a busy season. There is no 24-hour access.
Packing tips for farm gear
- Clean mud and grease off tools and parts before they go in.
- Use shelving and labelled tubs so parts are easy to find in a hurry.
- Keep steel off the concrete with pallets; units are not climate-controlled.
- Keep a parts list on your phone so you know what is in town before you drive in.
