PALLET STORAGE & SHORT-TERM WAREHOUSING · WOODSTOCK · CAPE TOWN

Pallet Storage & Short-Term Warehousing in Cape Town

Secure pallet and short-term storage in our Woodstock warehouse — per-pallet, week-by-week, no minimum term, in/out handling included, minutes from the Port of Cape Town.

What We Store

Our Woodstock warehouse takes the full range of commercial goods — from a handful of pallets between import shipments to overflow inventory during peak season. If it ships on a pallet, we can hold it.

  • Palletised goods — general cargo, boxed stock, equipment
  • Cartons and loose boxes — on rack or floor, counted in and out
  • E-commerce inventory — held for pick-and-pack dispatch (see on-site services below)
  • Cargo awaiting clearance or distribution — hold it here while paperwork clears, then dispatch directly
  • Overflow and seasonal stock — scale up in Q4, scale back in Q1, no penalty

Have special cargo — oversized, heavy, or unusual? Ask us. Each enquiry is assessed on its own terms.

Flexible by Design — No Leases, No Minimums

Standard warehouse leases lock you into a fixed unit for a fixed term. JLog works differently: you pay per pallet position per week, scale up or down as your needs change, and give us notice when you are done. No lease to negotiate, no penalty for using less space than expected, and no commitment to a full warehouse unit when you only need three pallets for six weeks.

A standard pallet position handles goods up to 1.2m × 1m × 1.5m high. If your cargo does not fill a full pallet, we can accommodate carton-level storage — ask when you enquire.

PORT-SIDE ADVANTAGE

Clear Customs and Go Straight Into Storage — One Company

When your shipment arrives at the Port of Cape Town, the clock starts on port storage charges. Every day your cargo sits waiting costs money. JLog is a licensed SARS clearing agent and warehouse operator under one roof, based in Woodstock — minutes from the port. We clear your import, move your cargo directly into our facility, and start the storage clock on our terms, not the terminal’s.

No handoff between a clearing agent and a separate warehouse. No double-handling. No coordination delays. One job number from port to shelf, with customs documentation, storage, and onward dispatch all managed in-house. Need your cargo packed or crated on arrival? We do that too →

On-Site Services

Storage is the starting point. Most clients also need at least one of the following — all handled in-house by the same team:

  • Receiving and intake — we count and check your cargo on arrival and notify you when stock lands
  • In/out handling — included; you are not charged separately for placing or retrieving pallets
  • Repacking and relabelling — repackage to retail requirements, add barcodes, relabel for a different market
  • Dispatch to anywhere in South Africa — we hand to courier or arrange delivery direct from our Woodstock facility
  • E-commerce pick & pack — we pick individual orders, pack, and hand to your courier daily. See how e-commerce fulfilment works →

Frequently Asked Questions

How is pallet storage charged?

Per pallet per week, with no minimum pallet count and no lock-in. You pay for the space you actually use. In/out handling is included — we do not add a separate charge each time a pallet moves in or out. Get a quote for your specific pallet count and duration.

Is there a minimum term?

No. There is no minimum term and no minimum pallet count. You can store one pallet for one week and that is fine. If your requirements grow, we scale with you — no renegotiation, no new contract, just more space.

Can you clear my import and then store it?

Yes — this is one of JLog’s strongest use cases. We are a licensed SARS clearing agent and warehouse operator under one roof. We file your customs entry, release the cargo from port, transport it to our Woodstock facility, and put it into storage under a single job number. You deal with one company, not two or three.

How fast can I get stock out?

Same-day for dispatch orders placed before 11am. We pick, pack (if required), and hand to courier the same day. For pallet retrieval or large outbound movements, give us 24 hours’ notice so we can stage the cargo and have it ready when your transport arrives.
