Very Narrow Aisle
Since employment is on the rise and the economy is easing, the stock market is showing promising signs of strength and consumers are feeling better overall. Most indicators are pointing towards economic recovery. There truly are a lot of businesses who are seeking to expand and are feeling this growth, although they might be a bit uncertain in making the capital investment. They may find it hard to invest in more 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, heating and air conditioning; Moving; Property taxes; Maintenance Personnel and Equipment are among the main areas.
Additionally, if you incorporate increased travel for lift equipment, this obviously leads to much higher fuel costs, accelerated depreciation due to increased usage, that results in increased maintenance expenses and additional labor costs.
The process of expansion does not end at warehousing. TFA provides alternatives for office space by using modular office solutions. These solutions comprise: tax benefits, containment rooms, flexibility in location and clean rooms.
Portable mezzanines are one more great expansion alternative. These could hold modular offices together wild providing vertical space for items. Newly acquired extra floor space could then be used for product storage also. One more alternative for freeing up more valuable floor space could be accomplished by having a mezzanine area on top of your modular office.
