Very Narrow Aisle
As the economy is easing and employment is on the rise, the stock market is showing promising signs of strength and consumers are feeling better overall. Most indicators are pointing towards economic recovery. There are many companies who are feeling this growth and are seeking to expand, though they might be a bit hesitant in making the capital investment. They may find it very hard to invest in additional space until the economy is on more solid footing and credit is more available and accessible.
Besides the obvious real estate savings, there are other savings to be incurred by not moving. For instance: the utilities like air conditioning and heating, water, sewage and electric; Moving; Property taxes; Maintenance Personnel and Equipment are a few of the main areas.
If you also increase the travel of the lift truck, this would ultimately lead to higher fuel costs, and an accelerated depreciation of the equipment that can result in increased maintenance costs and additional labor expenses.
Expansion is not only based on warehousing. TFA offers options for office space by utilizing modular office solutions. These solutions consist of: tax benefits, containment rooms, clean rooms and flexibility in location.
One more great expansion option is portable mezzanines. These could be used to hold modular offices and provide vertical space for things located on the ground floor. Newly acquired extra floor space could then be utilized for product storage as well. One more option for freeing up more valuable floor space can be accomplished by having a mezzanine area on top of your modular office.
