Very Narrow Aisle
Since 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. The majority of indicators are pointing towards economic recovery. There are lots of businesses who are seeking to expand and are feeling this growth, although they may be a bit hesitant in making the capital investment. They may find it hard to invest in more space until the economy is on more solid ground and credit is more available and accessible.
There are other savings to be incurred by not moving besides the obvious real estate savings. For example: the utilities like heating and air conditioning, electric, water and sewage; Moving; Property taxes; Maintenance Personnel and Equipment are among the main areas.
Furthermore, if you incorporate increased travel for lift equipment, this obviously results in much higher fuel expenses, accelerated depreciation due to increased usage, that leads to increased maintenance expenses and additional labor expenses.
The process of expansion does not end at warehousing. TFA provides alternatives for office space by using modular office solutions. These solutions include: containment rooms, tax benefits, flexibility in location as well as clean rooms.
Portable mezzanines are another great expansion alternative. These can hold modular offices together wild offering vertical space for things. Newly acquired extra floor space could then be used for product storage as well. Another option for freeing up more valuable floor space could be created by having a mezzanine area on top of your modular office.
