Dedicated Storage
for Parts and Inventory

Industrial operations depend on having the right parts and supplies available when required. Replacement components, maintenance items and operational stock can accumulate over time, particularly when businesses support multiple machines, production lines, facilities or service teams.

Organize Inventory
for Practical Retrieval

An effective parts storage layout begins with understanding the inventory. Small components, boxed products, heavy assemblies and irregularly shaped items require different storage arrangements.

Frequently issued parts may be positioned closer to picking or collection areas. Reserve stock and less frequently accessed items can occupy other suitable positions, provided they remain identifiable and accessible.

Storage locations should be clearly defined. Numbered shelving, labeled bins, aisle identification and inventory records can help staff find items and return them to the correct location.

Plan Stock Replenishment
and Parts Distribution

Parts storage needs to support more than placing inventory on shelves. Materials must arrive, be checked, assigned locations, retrieved and issued to the people or departments that need them.

For operations with regular replenishment schedules, consider how deliveries will enter the building and move to storage locations. Frequently received items may need convenient access without obstructing picking routes.

Parts issue areas should reflect the way employees collect supplies. Depending on the operation, this could involve a counter, picking stations, order consolidation space or a designated collection point.

Protect Components and
Maintain Storage Conditions

Covered inventory storage can reduce direct exposure to rain, snow, sunlight and wind. This can be useful for replacement parts, packaged supplies and components that should not remain outdoors.

Assess sensitivity to moisture, condensation, dust, temperature fluctuations and humidity. Electrical components, precision parts, seals and other sensitive items may require protective packaging, controlled conditions or monitoring.

Metal components may need corrosion prevention, while certain products require specific storage orientation or handling procedures. Follow the applicable manufacturer's storage guidance when defining these requirements.

Configure Parts Storage
Around Your Facility

Our structures use hot-dip galvanized steel framing and can be engineered around applicable wind and snow loads, foundations, anchoring and local building requirements.

Building dimensions, usable clear height, access locations and floor provisions should be evaluated against the selected storage system and handling equipment. Insulation, lighting, ventilation, heating and other building provisions can be specified according to the storage application and project requirements.

Site access, drainage, ground preparation, delivery arrangements and installation requirements should also be reviewed before finalizing the configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are parts and inventory storage buildings used for?

They provide covered space for spare parts, replacement components, tools, maintenance supplies, production inventory and other suitable operational materials.

How do I determine the size of a parts storage building?

Consider inventory quantities, item dimensions, storage methods, aisle widths, retrieval frequency, handling equipment and space needed for receiving and picking.

Can parts storage buildings accommodate shelving and pallet racks?

Yes, subject to building dimensions, rack design, load capacity, floor conditions, anchoring and required clearances.

Can different types of inventory share one building?

Yes, where the layout provides appropriate storage zones, identification and separation for materials with different handling or storage requirements.

Do inventory storage buildings require insulation or climate control?

Not every application requires environmental control. The need depends on component sensitivity, packaging, site conditions and specified storage requirements.

Can a parts storage building support production and maintenance teams?

It can provide a centralized location for parts and supplies used by production, maintenance and other departments, depending on the storage and distribution arrangement.

What information is required for a parts storage building quote?

Provide inventory categories, estimated quantities, storage methods, equipment dimensions, retrieval requirements, access needs, site location and any environmental-control requirements.
