What Can Be Stored in a Public Warehouse?

We often field calls or emails from potential customers asking whether a particular item can be stored in our warehouse. The answer to these inquiries is usually “yes.” Suffice to say our public warehouses can handle just about any goods, materials, or equipment.

In fact, one of the many benefits of public warehouses is that just about anything can be kept in them. What’s stored inside a public warehouse is indicative of the diverse needs of different types of businesses. For example, a public warehouse may be used to store various components of a product; seasonal items or equipment; bundled packages used for special promotions; overruns; office supplies, equipment and furnishings; finished goods for e-commerce stores and retailers; construction materials; and so much more.

Even more beneficial is that anything stored in a public warehouse can be done so on a short-term or long-term basis, allowing users to pay only for the warehouse space they use.

Storing Raw Materials

Just about any industry works with raw materials. Often times, companies order frequently used raw materials in large quantities to take advantage of deep cost savings. The materials are then shipped directly to a public warehouse to store until needed.

Brendamour Warehousing, Distribution & Services warehouses many different types of raw materials. With our highest food grade warehouse facilities, we are also certified to store raw food ingredients in a safe and secure area. We also warehouse raw materials used in the main production, processing, or manufacturing of goods, allowing businesses to buy in high quantities on commodities exchanges when the prices are low.

Machinery Storage

Because of their immense size, public warehouse facilities can store all types and sizes of machinery and equipment. This helps companies deal with delivery situations, such as machinery arriving before a new or renovated processing facility is completed, or applicable space is ready.

Seasonal businesses also take advantage of the size, accessibility and affordability of warehouses to store construction materials, equipment and tools. For example, at Brendamour, storing landscaping equipment and construction machinery is quite popular because indoor storage is far better for the equipment than outdoors in the elements, even when covered.

Bulk Goods in a Public Warehouse

Buying in bulk is usually a necessity for businesses in order to lower their production costs. Companies often use a public storage facility for storing bulk goods, which can range from food products and dry goods to household goods and product components. Large quantities of bulk goods arrive at a public warehouse in large containers, typically direct from the manufacturer or supplier.

Often times, bulk goods are turned into finished goods, ready for shipping. Since our warehouses provide 3PL services, our experienced staff can prepare bulk items for resale. This resource saves businesses time and money in moving the goods to another provider. For example, Brendamour packages bulk items, conducts light assembly of components, creates and applies labels, and packages them in smaller cartons for the end user. We provide a wide range of customized logistics services to meet your needs.

Finished Goods Warehouse Storage

If it’s on a store shelf, in a display showroom, or used in industries like home remodeling, construction, or other professional services, chances are the item came from a warehouse. Finished goods cover a wide range of items, such as computers, home furnishings, apparel, food service products, mattresses, musical instruments, and any other type of consumer or business to business products.

A 3PL warehouse, like Brendamour’s four Midwest facilities, offers numerous options for pallet warehouse storage. In addition, racking systems can be customized to hold any type or size of finished goods. A racking system for finished goods is important for preventing damage to items that cannot be stacked.
