Very Narrow Aisle
As the economy is easing and employment is on the rise, consumers are feeling better overall and the stock market is showing promising signs of strength. Most indicators are pointing towards economic recovery. There truly are lots of businesses who are seeking to expand and are feeling this growth, although they may be a little hesitant in making the capital investment. They might find it hard to invest in more space until the economy is on more solid footing and credit is more accessible and available.
There are other savings to be incurred by not moving other than the obvious real estate savings. Like for instance: the utilities like heating and air conditioning, sewage, electric and water; Moving; Property taxes; Maintenance Personnel and Equipment are amongst the main areas.
If you also increase the travel of the lift truck, this would ultimately lead to higher fuel expenses, and an accelerated depreciation of the machinery that could result in increased maintenance costs and additional labor costs.
The process of expansion does not end at warehousing. TFA offers alternatives for office space by using modular office solutions. These solutions include: tax benefits, containment rooms, flexibility in location as well as clean rooms.
Portable mezzanines are one more great expansion alternative. These could hold modular offices together wild providing vertical space for items. Newly acquired extra floor space could then be used for product storage too. Another option for freeing up more valuable floor space could be created by having a mezzanine area on top of your modular office.
