There’s a reason why “oh, I never thought of that” is such a common phrase. There are solutions out there for many issues that many of us just haven’t considered yet. If you’re a business owner, storage space may be an issue you haven’t figured out.
After all, maximizing a facility’s space is top of mind for most business owners. In light of this, here are a few commercial storage solutions that business owners don’t often consider.
1. Commercial Portable Storage
If you’ve heard of Sam (Store & Move), PODS®, PACK RAT®, U-PACK® or a similar Dallas-Fort Worth portable storage container company, you might be aware of portable storage containers. But you might not know that these aren’t just available for residences. Many business owners utilize commercial portable storage to meet a variety of needs and get a more convenient alternative to a traditional storage unit. With commercial portable storage, you can keep containers on site for as long as you need them, loading and unloading as you see fit. Or, you can have them picked up and stored at a facility.
2. Commercial Moving Containers
If you’re planning a move soon or are looking for extra storage after the move (to give you plenty of time to unload), a commercial moving container might be in order. These are pretty similar to portable storage containers, but are usually rented for transportation reasons instead of storage. But they are a good commercial storage solution to consider if you want more flexibility with your assets before, during or after a move.
3. Seasonal/Inventory Storage
Many businesses (especially retail) experience influxes of additional inventory and products. Or, there are seasons in the year where you experience your highest sales and that season will involve more products, equipment, staff and supplies on hand. With a commercial portable storage container, you can keep it on site to store those extra items and easily access them. With another alternative like a traditional storage unit, you won’t have that easy access (and storing on site will take up valuable space somewhere else in your facility).
4. On-Site Storage
Finally, if your business is a service business or involves lots of remote work or changing job sites, you might not know that portable storage containers can be used for on-site storage as well. Whether you’re a roofer, electrician or contractor, there are a variety of professions that can benefit from gaining better access to needed equipment, supplies and tools while on the job. Any extra expense you incur is made up in convenience and time savings.
