Short-term Warehousing

While most of our customers are looking for a storage solution which is either permanent, or as a minimum, in excess of three months, we know that for some businesses, over spill storage requirements are more short term.  For many, this additional storage is as a result of a seasonal storage peak – often in the months leading up to Christmas, where both manufacturers, logistics companies and retailers see a huge increase in product volume.

For other customers, short-term demand for additional storage may result from planned refurbishment of permanent facilities, or the need to respond to just in time demand from clients within the supply chain.

Through our sister brand, Storage Structures, we are able to offer short-term hire of soft-sided structures with a standard 3m or 4m eave height, allowing you to grow your storage capabilities on site in the short-term without being tied into a long-term hire agreement, or incurring costs for a high-specification storage solution.

Key benefits include:

  • Short-term rental with NO minimum hire period – perfect for seasonal demand
  • Short-lead time – with delivery to site within as little as 48 hours
  • Rapid installation – with structures built and operational in just 1 or 2 days
  • No planning permission, ground works or foundations needed
  • Buildings secured with ballast – so no expensive ground scanning, or penetration/reinstatement after removal
  • Phenolic plywood cassette floors available from stock – a cost-effective alternative to expensive over-ply or floor coverings.

A range of simple optional extras are also available to enhance your short-term temporary warehouse, depending on how you plan to use it and what you will be storing:

  • Roller shutter doors, personnel doors, DDA compliant Porta-ramp as with permanent building solutions
  • Hard walls and 4m eave
  • Black out/Opaque PVC for light sensitive operations
