How To Maximise Your Business Storage Space

Using your business storage space effectively

1. Utilise vertical space

Install shelving and racking to maximise the height of your warehouse or storage unit and create more space for storing items. Shelving is a great way to add storage space without taking up too much room.

2. Use stacking pallets for space

Stack products on pallets and store them in an organised way. It is an efficient way to manage items and use vertical space best. Pallets also make it easier to transport goods, as they provide a sturdy, uniform base for moving things. Also, stacking products on pallets can help protect them from damage, keeping them off the ground and away from potential hazards.

3. Use a combination of static and mobile storage

Use static storage, such as shelves, portable storage units, and trolleys, to take advantage of your space. Using both styles is a great way to maximise the use of space in your workplace. Fixed shelves can store items you don't need to access frequently, and mobile racks can be moved around to create more space when needed. Not only do they help to make the most out of the available space, but they also help to keep items organised and easy to find.

4. Have an organised system

An organised system for your business storage is a great way to increase efficiency, safety, and cost savings:

1. It helps increase efficiency and accuracy by making locating items quickly and accurately easier. This can help reduce time wasted searching for items and increases productivity.
2. It helps to create a safe work environment. An organised system can make identifying items that should not be stored together more accessible, preventing accidents or damage to items.
3. It can reduce costs by reducing the need for replacing items that may become misplaced or lost.

5. Put unused items in self storage

With self-storage, you can store items you don't need regularly or things you don't have space for in your home or office. With the convenience of self-storage, you can keep your items safe and secure when not using them. Using business self-storage is also a great way to store items for long-term use, such as seasonal decorations, furniture, or extra office supplies.

"Business storage is a smart solution for companies looking to stay organised and efficient. It provides the extra space you need to manage stock, equipment, or office furniture, helping your business run smoothly and effectively." – Toby Whittaker, Managing Director of Store First.

Following these tips can help you get the most out of your storage space and ensure an efficient and effective system is in place.
