Warehouses tend to change over time. Stock levels increase, new product lines are introduced and equipment gets added, but the building itself stays the same size.
Eventually, finding somewhere to put everything becomes more difficult.
Millennium Storage & Interiors provides industrial storage solutions in Manchester, helping businesses organise their existing space and create storage that works around their day-to-day operation.
What Does Your Warehouse Need?
There isn't much value in adding more storage if it makes stock harder to reach or leaves less room for people and equipment to move around.
That's why we start by looking at how your warehouse is actually used.
We'll consider what you're storing, how often it needs to be accessed and how goods move through the building. We'll also look at areas where space isn't currently being used particularly well.
Depending on the site, the answer could involve pallet racking, shelving, a mezzanine floor or a combination of different storage systems.
Making Use of the Space You Already Have
Floor space is only part of what's available in an industrial building. Warehouses often have considerable height that isn't being used.
Introducing taller racking or a mezzanine floor can open up additional storage without increasing the footprint of the building. Elsewhere, simply changing the layout may free up space that's currently difficult to use.
Before recommending anything, we'll look at:
- Available floor space and ceiling height
- The type and quantity of goods being stored
- Pallet sizes and loading requirements
- Forklift and pedestrian access
- Existing racking, shelving and equipment
- Deliveries and movement around the warehouse
These are all practical details, but they can make a considerable difference to how well a storage system works once it's in place.
Industrial Storage for New and Existing Warehouses
You don't have to be starting with an empty building.
We can look at an existing warehouse that's becoming short on room, as well as premises that need fitting out before they're put into use.
If you're changing an existing site, we'll take what's already there into account and discuss which parts of the current setup are still working well.
