Temporary refers to the fact that they are movable and modular. A building can be purchased outright or rented over a couple of weeks to several years.
Both purchase and rental options provide a large amount of flexibility. It’s a common misconception that because of their temporary name, they are not built to stand the test of time. With the right care, temporary buildings have a life span of 20+ years.
They can be specified with a wide range of options to create the ideal space, including pallet racking, pallet support systems, pallet rack systems and general storage racks. Alternatively, they make great safe storage options without any additional fit out for floor storage.
The clearspan internal construction allows for stacking pallets at height to accommodate more stock without compromising structural integrity.
With a temporary building, you can take ownership and reduce ongoing storage costs by investing in a bespoke storage building. You can specify and design your structure to meet every possible operational need. Some of the many benefits of either renting or purchasing your own building include:
• Flexibility to respond to seasonal peaks, without additional costs
• Agility to scale up or down storage space with flexible purchase or rental terms
• If purchasing outright, you own the asset which can be easily moved or sold should your needs change
• Smooth logistics with less time and cost in shuffling pallets between off-site warehouses
• Ease supply chain issues due to enhanced storage capacity
In addition to the benefits above, some off-site third party pallet storage companies may place certain restrictions on what you can store. For example, size and weight limits, perishable products and hazardous materials. You can take complete control with your own bespoke pallet storage building. We can provide fully insulated structures, complete with heating, cooling and ventilation for high risk or perishable products. Finally, a temporary building can be installed on any ground surface. Typically, we can install a building within a week without disruption or down time to your day-to-day operations.
A temporary warehouse is a low risk, lower cost option compared to renting off-site warehousing or building a traditional warehouse. As a guide, a temporary warehouse is in the region of 70% cheaper than a traditionally built warehouse.
However, this doesn’t mean you have to compromise on flexibility or quality. As with most things, the larger and more complex the design, the more you’ll pay to cover labour and materials.
Critically, you’re in complete control of the costs as our budlings are fast and easy to design. We will work with you to refine the design and engineer a building to your requirements. You won’t face any rent rises unlike renting off site storage.
Off-site storage is a viable option and you may wish to continue to use this approach. To compliment off-site storage, a popular option is to add an industrial canopy at your site. A canopy will provide additional covered storage capacity and assist with your goods in/out processes. Protecting your pallets and staff from inclement weather.
