How to scale up your warehouse or production facility

Published on

Do you want to increase the capacity of your warehouse, storage hall, or production facility? We’ll gladly guide you through the first steps of determining what type of solution is best for you, by showing you the most relevant options.

As a modular construction specialist, Losberger De Boer can always offer you the best possible solution for your capacity demands.

Do you need a solution for short, mid to long term or long term use?

If you are looking to increase your storage or production capacity for a relatively short to mid-term period, from a few months up to 5 years, then renting a temporary modular building is probably the fastest, and often most economical solution. Your temporary facility can be delivered ready-for-use in a matter of weeks on a location of your choice, and can be quickly dismantled when you no longer need it.

This plug-and-play, pay-as-you-use solution is perfect for when you need to temporarily increase your capacity for a large contract, special project, or to bridge the gap during a renovation or construction process.

Buying a new warehouse
If you want to increase capacity in the long term, then buying a semi-permanent modular building is the most economical option. Your new warehouse or production facility can be delivered ready for use in weeks to months, depending on several conditions, and can be used for over 30 years. This allows you to save time and money, since you are not tied up in a lengthy traditional construction process compared to traditional construction, and the required investment is significantly lower as well than renting for that period.

Moreover, please know that all Losberger De Boer buildings remain flexible after installation. When you choose a Losberger De Boer building, your facility will always scalable and relocatable, to grow or shrink along with your capacity demands.

Extension or stand-alone facility
Another important factor to decide early on, is how to integrate your desired new facility in your processes, as well as determine the best location on your terrain. We can deliver a stand-alone building to your specs, but if needed, your new storage hall, warehouse or production facility can be connected to existing buildings as well, to function as an extension. In this case, we can arrange a seamless connection and extend your current building.

Selecting doors, roof options and insulation level
We can deliver your new storage or production facility completely to your specs, both in terms of size, layout, and configuration. Will a cold storage facility do, or do you need higher levels of insulation? This will partly determine what type of roof or wall elements we will advise to use. Does the hall need to be accessible to large vehicles? This plays a part in determining the appropriate height, and in selecting the best door type to use. Thanks to the modular nature of our structure, we have countless options for you to choose in.
