Optimise Space For Storage (Without Blowing Your Budget!)

In this fast-paced world that continues to grow every minute every day, it is important to keep abreast of new ways to improve your business. This is also about optimising the resources you have at hand. Given the unpredictability of the economy, you may experience a rapid boost in your sales but not enough warehouse space to accommodate the expansion. Initially, you might consider relocating to a larger warehouse to accommodate your needs, but this could provide a bump in the road at a later date. But one way you can make a smart change is optimising your current space. Ever visited a huge furniture warehouse and strolled through aisles lined with pallet racks? Other than acting as a smart storage facility, the pallet racking system makes items easily accessible and this is why it’s successful. Save thousands of dollars by maximising the space that you already have and in doing so enhance workplace safety, productivity and practicality.

Create a spacious workplace – maximise space

The warehouse stocks all the supplies we need for work, but are you stockpiling too much? Look at your inventory – is one product ordered less than others? Then reduce the amount you keep just in case. By streamlining your products in this way, you will allow for more space on the products you need to keep more of, simply by reducing the ones you use less of. Also look at the equipment you’re using, is it old or bulky? Where is it being stored? Is there an alternative space to store it, perhaps a shed can be built on the outside of the warehouse to safely store these items and free up space within the warehouse itself.

Discover new storage solutions, discover space

Make the most of your space with different methods of storage. Here are a few:

Pallet racking: With pallet racking, you can bolster the practicality of just about any warehouse regardless of its size. You can have pallet racks in with aisles wide enough to accommodate vehicles or need a few extra, multi-level storage solutions to keep your products secure. Simply put, no matter your needs, pallet racks have you covered.

Shelving: With metal shelving, you can keep your warehouse tidy and orderly at all times, allowing your workforce to remain productive.

Mezzanine Floor: You can save time, effort and money by maximising the practicality of your existing warehouse, and one of the best ways to utilise currently unused space is to install a mezzanine floor.

Locker: Whether for an educational or commercial setting, locker storage is an excellent way of assuring your r employees that they can keep their possessions and equipment locked away safely. Metal lockers can also double up as hardwearing storage cupboards.

Small parts storage: If your business works with small parts on a day-to-day basis, it’s vital to organise them efficiently. There is a wide choice of small parts storage solutions, such as tilt boxes and wire storage baskets, which can be suited to an array of different working environments.
