Facility Overview

Located at 260 Technology Park Drive in Torrington, Connecticut, Compass Self Storage offers an expansive commercial and personal vehicle storage complex set in the Technology Park commercial district. Spread across an open, multi-acre layout, the facility operates primarily as a secure, open-air paved surface lot alongside drive-up storage bays. Because the dedicated vehicle, boat, and RV parking bays are located on open surface asphalt and wide thoroughfares, there are virtually no vertical clearance limits, making it exceptionally well-suited for high-profile vehicles. The facility accommodates standard passenger vehicles, oversized pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, high-roof commercial cargo vans, boat trailers, fifth wheels, and Class A, B, and C motorhomes with ease. Broad turning radii between lanes ensure smooth navigation even when towing large trailers or maneuvering commercial fleet vehicles.
