When Do Warehouse Managers Seek Storage Trailers?

The best warehouse managers rely on proven strategies to manage a constant inbound and outbound flow of stock through their doors.  You may find it interesting that many these same managers routinely rely upon Western Storage to provide storage trailers as one of their proven strategies. 

The mobility and quick delivery of a storage van has helped many warehouse managers deal with an overstock situation.  But this is not the only time warehouse managers call for storage vans.  Supply chain solutions that promote quick product turnarounds can add tremendous pressure on warehouse space.  A timely placed storage van can provide the temporary room a warehouse manager needs to deal with a space crunch due to product shuffling. 

Storage trailers are affordable. Did you know storage trailers provide great value?  Just look at the numbers.

In Western Canada, modern warehousing rents range between $0.85 - $1.50 per square foot per month.  Utility costs and property taxes add an additional 15% onto the costs.  In comparison storage trailers are much less expensive.  A 48' dry van dispatched out of Western Storage's Winnipeg location will cost $0.60 cents a square foot. That's less than half  the cost of warehouse space.

Thinking of building a warehouse?  Why take on the risk & extra tax burden?  Rent storage vans and put your low throughput stock (that's not subject to freezing) in the vans and park them in the corner of your yard.  Or park your loaded trailers in one of our secure yards.
