How Does Dubai Heat Damage Business Equipment?

Summer heat in Dubai passes 40°C, and humid air near the coast causes condensation when temperatures change. Over a few months that leads to rust on metal tools, failing batteries, warped plastic housings and damaged circuit boards in electronics and AV gear. An air-conditioned unit keeps equipment cool and dry, so it works when you take it out again.

Who Uses Equipment Storage in Dubai?

Businesses use equipment storage to free up space they pay for every month. Equipment you only use for certain projects takes up office, shop or warehouse space. Moving it to a storage unit frees that space for work, stock or customers, for a monthly cost that starts from AED 225 at DIP 1, excluding 5% VAT.
