Very Narrow Aisle
As the economy is easing and employment is on the rise, consumers are feeling better overall and the stock market is showing promising signs of strength. Most indicators are pointing towards economic recovery. There really are a lot of businesses who are feeling this growth and are seeking to expand, although they may be a little hesitant in making the capital investment. They may find it hard to invest in additional space until the economy is on more solid ground and credit is more accessible and available.
Other than the obvious real estate savings, there are other savings to be incurred by not moving. Like for instance: the utilities such as water, sewage and electric, heating and air conditioning; Property taxes; Moving; Maintenance Personnel and Equipment are some of 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, which results in increased maintenance expenses and additional labor costs.
The process of expansion does not end at warehousing. TFA provides options for office space by using modular office solutions. These solutions include: tax benefits, containment rooms, clean rooms as well as flexibility in location.
Another great expansion alternative is portable mezzanines. These could be used to hold modular offices as well as offer vertical space for items located on the ground floor. Newly acquired extra floor space can then be utilized for product storage also. One more option for freeing up more valuable floor space can be accomplished by having a mezzanine area on top of your modular office.
