Selecting a warehouse is heavily dependant on the type of cargo you will be storing and moving in and out of your warehouse. You should ask yourself some general questions:
- What type of cargo are you storing (frozen goods, chilled goods, non-duty/vat paid goods, chemicals, general cargo etc.)
- What is the packaging of your cargo (loose in pieces/boxes/cartons, palletized, drums, long cargo like bars, pipes etc., very heavy or bulky cargo)
- What volumes will you be storing in cbm, or no. of pallets, no. of drums etc.
Answering these general questions will assist you in selecting a suitable warehouse. These will also be helpful when planning what material handling equipment you require, if you require any racking/bins and how to structure your operations.
