For anyone with a stockroom, shelving is an essential part of the efficient use of space. This ought to be a no-brainer, of course; unless you have rented out some huge space that is way too large (which means you are paying too much), you will need to make the most of what you have got.
Indeed, you might find after a while that if business is picking up and you need to get more items in storage, space may become at a premium. While there may be a point where you can’t squeeze any more in and you need to move to larger premises (or add extra storage somewhere else), you can do a lot to maximise space with the right shelving.
Those in the storage and warehousing industry know this very well. The advice you receive will cover various steps you can take to improve the use of space and these are all potentially valuable tips. Whether adding a mezzanine floor, racking up shelves higher, or reducing aisle space between shelves, there are many ways to do it.
This is why our stockroom shelving is designed to be flexible in ways that enable you to maximise space, not least the capacity to stack them high so you can make the most of your vertical space as well as lateral room.
You can also choose from wide-span or long-span shelving to improve lateral use of space, depending on the dimensions of the things you stock.
This flexibility is also useful should you find you need to move some or all of your storage.
This can happen for various reasons. You may find the lease has run out and you must move to new premises with different dimensions in terms of floor space and vertical space. Or you may be moving somewhere larger and will find the kind of shelving you have obtained from us can be adjusted very easily to the new facility.
Another consideration is that of business continuity. Every firm needs to have a contingency plan for the emergence of circumstances in which normal operations on its premises are impossible, common examples being fire or flood.
While IT-based services can now be carried out remotely by most, not least thanks to the capacity for remote working established during the Covid lockdowns, physical elements like the storage of goods still require a response. If your storage area is damaged or otherwise out of action, you may need a rapid response to move stock to a safe place.
If you have flexible shelving that can scale up or down to suit the new space you remove it to, that means there will be a wider array of possibilities of where you can manage to accommodate everything.
Alternatively, you can invest in new shelving when you have to make a sudden move so that you can quickly manage the space you are using. This may be a particularly adept step when you are acting in a position of emergency when you have had to move fast and the facility you can get your hands on is not an optimal choice.
Thankfully, with the flexible shelving options we offer, you can find a solution that works for you every time.
