How much does storage cost / pallet / day?
Set your pallet count and storage period. The calculator shows the average daily cost per pallet, including one inbound and one outbound handling in addition to storage.
The final rate is always based on an individual quote.
Growth doesn't have to mean construction
Your warehouse is full and the season has barely started. There’s no more room on the racking, goods stored in the aisles slow down picking and increase the risk of damage. Expanding a lease takes months, building a new facility takes years — but the next container is already on its way.
- You’ve run out of space. Utilization is consistently above 95%, which hurts both service time and error rates.
- You need to grow flexibly. A new customer, product line, or export market is starting up, but volume isn’t yet stable enough to justify a multi-year lease commitment.
- You need temporary storage. Seasonal peaks, a production changeover, a warehouse move, a project shipment, or import awaiting customs clearance — a need lasting a few months that doesn’t justify sizing for fixed capacity.
Contract warehousing is the faster answer in all three cases, because it turns storage from a fixed cost into a variable one. No deposit, no capital investment, no hiring or training — you pay for the pallet space you actually use.
Three cost components
Inbound
Receiving, checking, and putting away pallets in a pre-agreed time window, with immediate WMS registration. One-time fee, HUF/pallet.
Storage
Daily billing on the pallet positions actually reserved, at tiered unit rates. No minimum commitment period within a month.
Outbound
Release, loading, and documentation. One-time fee, HUF/pallet. By default, the pallet that comes out matches the one that came in, without further handling.
The service can be extended as needed: order picking by FIFO, LIFO, batch, expiry date, or IMEI number; repacking; bonded warehouse storage; excise handling; returns and product-recall processing; and web-shop fulfillment with nationwide 24-hour delivery.
Why Maglód?
- Direct access to the M0. From the eastern section of the M0 ring road there’s a direct ramp onto the M4, M31, and M3, so both the western and eastern parts of the country — as well as routes to Slovakia and Romania — are reachable without passing through central Budapest traffic.
- Minutes from Liszt Ferenc Airport. For air import and export, a short pre-carriage leg between the warehouse and customs clearance gives a direct lead-time advantage for e-commerce and time-critical shipments.
- Budapest delivery zone. The capital and Pest County can be covered with a single daily delivery route.
Eight HGL locations are available nationwide, with TAPA/EMEA-compliant security, so storage can be placed wherever the distribution center of gravity is.
