About

A new firm, with an old-fashioned view of how this should work.

Measure the building. Model the options honestly. Install it properly. Leave the paperwork behind.

Why start another storage company

Warehouse storage is not a complicated industry, but it is one where the buyer is usually at a disadvantage. Quotes arrive in incomparable units. Capacity figures are quoted without the assumptions that produced them. Upright protection gets quietly value-engineered out to sharpen a headline price. And a great deal of steel is sold to businesses whose real problem was the layout.

None of that requires bad intent. It happens because the person specifying the system knows considerably more than the person buying it, and the industry has not made much effort to close that gap.

The premise here is that closing it is good business. If you can see the two layouts side by side with their pallet counts and their costs, you make a better decision, and a client who understands why they chose something is a client who comes back.

How we work

One person surveys your building, designs the layout and stays with the project through installation and handover. No hand-off to an account manager who has never seen the site. If something goes wrong on the floor, you are speaking to someone who knows why the drawing says what it says.

Installation is carried out by trained, certificated teams, phased around your operation. Racking that goes up slightly out of true loses capacity it was designed to have and fails its first inspection, so this is not a corner worth cutting.

What we will not do

We will not quote against a phone call. We will not mix components from different manufacturers in a run, because published load capacities apply to matched systems and a mixed run has no defensible rating. And we will not leave a site without load notices fitted and the drawings handed over.

How a project runs

Four stages, and you can stop after the first two.

  • Survey

    We measure heights, obstructions, floor and doors, and record what you already have. Free, and it commits you to nothing.

  • Design

    Two to four layouts with pallet counts, aisle widths and costs, so the trade-off is yours to make.

  • Install

    Trained teams working in phases, so areas come back into use as they finish. Nights and weekends if the floor cannot be cleared.

  • Hand over

    Drawings, calculations and weight notices on every run, walked through with whoever looks after the racking.

Next step

Tell us the building. We will tell you what it could hold.

Send a drawing, a sketch, or just the internal dimensions and the height. You get back a layout, what it will hold and a costed proposal.
