Very Narrow Aisle
As the economy is easing and employment is on the rise, the stock market is showing promising signs of strength and consumers are feeling better overall. The majority of indicators are pointing towards economic recovery. There are a lot of companies who are seeking to expand and are feeling this growth, although they might be a little uncertain 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 available and accessible.
Besides the obvious real estate savings, there are other savings to be incurred by not moving. Like for example: the utilities such as heating and air conditioning, sewage, electric and water; Moving; Property taxes; Equipment and Maintenance Personnel are amongst the main areas.
Furthermore, if you incorporate increased travel for lift machines, this obviously results in much higher fuel costs, accelerated depreciation due to increased usage, which results in increased maintenance expenses and additional labor expenses.
Expansion is not only based on warehousing. TFA offers options for office space by using modular office solutions. These solutions consist of: tax benefits, containment rooms, clean rooms and flexibility in location.
Portable mezzanines are another great expansion option. These could hold modular offices together wild offering vertical space for items. Newly acquired extra floor space can then be used for product storage as well. Another alternative for freeing up more valuable floor space can be created by having a mezzanine area on top of your modular office.
