Are you struggling to make room for new stock and tools? It’s tempting to move to a whole new premises. However, wouldn’t it make sense – financially and practically – to try and make the most of your current space? The fact is, hiring a whole new warehouse or commercial premises is going to mean you taking time out of your daily running. It also means paying for a whole new variety of costs and rates. Therefore – have you considered looking into efficient, cost-effective industrial storage solutions?
Commercial storage solutions, too, are likely to be more feasible for your needs if you are already working to a tight budget. But how easy is it for you to store your inventory? Are you running out of space, but finding that you have plenty of vertical room left that’s going unused? It’s time to take a closer look at some of the industrial storage solutions available from Prodek’s leading catalogue.
Racking Solutions
One of the most efficient and practical ways to store and retrieve items in a warehouse setting is to install racking. Modern racking systems come in all shapes and sizes. What’s more, they are built to make the most of your vertical space. While you may have stacked and stored all of your inventory at waist or head height, have you considered using all of your wall space as a priority?
Our racking solutions make for some of the easiest and most efficient ways for businesses to keep track of their growing stock. Rather than having to layer all of your items horizontally, you can install pallet racking and specialist vertical storage to stretch right up to the ceiling. Otherwise, this is space which is simply going unused!
Cantilever racking from Prodek is also likely to be an efficient and streamlined commercial storage solution for many businesses. We design and build racking for warehouse and industrial operations across our region. In fact, part of the service we offer to all our clients lies in racking inspection. Therefore, if you already have a few racks in place and aren’t sure they are offering you the most efficient use of space, we will be more than happy to take a closer look at how they are performing.
We’ll then be able to let you know what changes we can make to help increase your storage space. It’s not just about increasing space, either – it’s about making things easier to access!
Shelving Solutions
Shelving is, of course, a great option for many businesses. While not always the most obvious industrial storage solutions, more and more companies are setting up versatile shelves to safely store away items for easy retrieval later on. In many cases, you’ll find smart shelving used in libraries and archives. Mobile shelving, in particular, will offer you a great way to keep your items out of the way, compact and ready to roll out whenever you need them.
If there’s no need for you to have a permanent walkways between your shelves and racks, a mobile shelving option is likely to be a great choice for most businesses. However, we will also extoll the virtues of traditional warehouse shelving – available to customise and arrange for a variety of inventory storage needs.
Crucially, shelving is a tighter, more aesthetically pleasing way to store items and stock than most commercial solutions. It tends to be a great go-to when you have lighter, slimmer items which need archiving carefully, or storing away so that you have more floor space to access. This is why these solutions are so popular in library and archiving environments. However, there’s nothing to say you can’t make use of shelving as part of industrial storage solutions.
Mezzanines
Struggling to fit everything on one floor? Why not consider installing a whole new floor? You don’t need to have a multi-storey property to take advantage. By setting up a mezzanine that’s easy to access, you can be sure that you are able to set up additional racks and shelving out of reach.
This is another great way to make full use of your vertical space. If your building or warehouse is tall and wide, but you’re using up all the width, it’s time to make use of that height. Therefore, coupled with commercial storage solutions such as shelves and racking, you can really work a mezzanine to your advantage.
It’s worth keeping in mind that this will likely double the amount of space you have to hand – and the inventory you can potentially hold. It’s a fantastic way to embrace commercial and industrial growth! After all, you’re going to need to think about taking on more custom and more revenue, and that often means having to take on more stock. Prodek Made in Sheffield mezzanine floors are a low-cost alternative to moving premises or renting additional storage space.
