Very Narrow Aisle
Employment is on the rise and the economy is easing, the stock market is showing some indications of strength, which has helped to improve the overall feelings of the consumer. The majority of indicators have been pointing towards an economic recovery. There are many companies who are feeling this growth and are seeking to expand, although they may be a little hesitant in making the capital investment. They might find it hard to invest in additional space until credit is more available and accessible and the economy is on more solid ground.
Other than the obvious real estate savings, there are other savings to be incurred by not moving. For example: the utilities such as sewage, electric and water, air conditioning and heating; Moving; Property taxes; Maintenance Personnel and Equipment are amongst the main areas.
Furthermore, if you incorporate increased travel for lift machines, this obviously leads to much higher fuel expenses, accelerated depreciation due to increased usage, which results in increased maintenance costs and additional labor costs.
The process of expansion does not end at warehousing. TFA provides options for office space by using modular office solutions. These solutions include: containment rooms, tax benefits, clean rooms as well as flexibility in location.
One more great expansion option is portable mezzanines. These could be used to hold modular offices and provide vertical space for items located on the ground floor. Newly acquired extra floor space can then be used for product storage as well. One more alternative for freeing up more valuable floor space could be created by having a mezzanine area on top of your modular office.
