Full warehouses at the edge of the world are no longer your problem!
At a first glance, storing the goods should not pose any major problems – after all, a temporary space rental is a fairly common service. What might seemingly appear simple turns out to be a complicated logistical process, in which one cog’s failure stops the entire machine, leading to stress, delays, not to mention exorbitant costs. The storage involves a whole chain of side aspects, which are an integral part of the undertaking – the choice of place, where the goods will not be subjected to weather conditions and damages, the truck’s arrival to the destination, the loading and unloading crew, pick-up and delivery to the final recipient. Subsequently, these factors lead to the dependence on the opening time, personnel and truck’s availability, and the location of the warehouse. What if I told you that the matter could be resolved in a simpler and more approachable way, while also saving money and time?
A self-storage trailer covers the needs just like the traditional warehouse, and additional benefits are a cherry on top. The genius of this concept lies in its simplicity – shortening the entire chain to a bare minimum. Additional service of the self-storage trailer is exactly what the name indicates – leaving the loaded goods on the trailer, with the truck parked in accordance to the wish of the business partner, or at the parking lot nearby. What are the benefits of such a service?
1. Safety
Leasing a temporary storage area involves a degree of risk – there might not be enough space, the roof might leak and wet the goods, some items might get lost in the large hall, or even get stolen. Self-storage trailer guarantees the protection from the changing weather conditions and from robbery, protecting the entire surface; by means of reinforced sides of the trailer, the thief’s access to the cargo is heavily restricted, if not impossible. Additionally, the avoidance of the reloading process equals no risk of damaging sensitive goods.
2. Saving the money
Renting the warehouse space involves a number of additional costs – staff’s work, the journey to the destination, overpriced vehicle for the short route. And let’s not forget about the time resource – arranging and controlling each stage of the process consumes the attention of the person in charge. A self-storing trailer allows for shortening the chain, saving time and budget. If the vehicle is equipped with a pallet truck and a tail lift, there is no problem in taking out even the heaviest pallets and crates alone, without the need for renting the equipment or the crew.
3. Convenience
It may happen that the crew forgot about important elements, needed at that time – taking them out from the trailer nearby is much easier than heading to the out-of-town warehouse. Self-storage trailer is also helpful in time of intense production; thanks to this solution, the cargo might remain on the trailer, when several trailers must be loaded and get to the destination at the same time – the trailers may also be topped up to take a full advantage of the loading space. Storing the goods on the trailer is a perfect solution in the exhibition facilities or at the delivery sites for the cultural events because then the members of the assembling crew do not feel the pressure to unload everything in a hurry and to find a spot to temporarily leave the cargo; in that case, they can focus solely on precision and solidity of the construction without the time pressure.
A self-storage trailer is therefore a great alternative to traditional warehouses – when the biggest dilemma is to choose the most convenient spot for the truck, then the situation is more than comfortable. Ensuring safety and saving money allow for getting a good night’s sleep and satisfaction with the entire procedure.
Taking into consideration the above-mentioned areas, our verdict is clear: self-storage trailers vs. traditional warehousing facilities – 3:0. If you share our sentiment regarding this subject, there is nothing more to do but to contact us, find out more and benefit from this solution!
