What is a conditioned warehouse?
A conditioned warehouse, otherwise known as a temperature-controlled warehouses, often referred to as controlled temperature storage, revolves around the meticulous preservation of product within a carefully regulated temperature range to maintain their quality and extend their shelf life. At its core, this warehousing method sustains essential parameters such as temperature, humidity, and other environmental conditions specific to the type of products stored. This meticulous approach ensures that the products remain in pristine condition until they reach the consumer.
Various types of temperature-controlled warehouses
- Cold Storage Warehouse Lease Space
Cold storage facilities are purpose-built to maintain goods at low temperatures, effectively preventing their deterioration. The term cold storage encompasses facilities equipped with advanced refrigeration systems designed to uphold a specific temperature range, typically below the freezing point. Commonly stored items in these warehouses include meat, dairy products, and frozen edibles.
- Chilled Storage Facilities
Chilled storage facilities share similarities with cold storage warehouses but are tailored to maintain a slightly higher temperature range, usually between 0 to 5 degrees Celsius. These facilities are ideally suited for storing fresh produce, flowers, and other perishable items that require a chilly yet non-freezing environment.
- Frozen Storage Units
Specialized frozen storage units are exclusively dedicated to preserving products at extremely low temperatures, often well below -18 degrees Celsius. These units are indispensable for safeguarding the quality of frozen edibles, ice cream, and other items that demand sub-zero temperatures for preservation.
Do you need one?
This, then, is the question. Do you actually need one because, quite frankly, they can be expensive. Maintaining a constant temperature can be costly, especially with the rising costs in energy.
Need vs want.
If you are a supplier of fruits and vegetables, without a doubt this decision is a no-brainer. Your business will depend upon your products remaining fresh before they are delivered to the customer. If, however, you simply want to “cool things off” so you have more comfortable working conditions, a decision will have to be made. Can you afford the comfort cost? Will your desire for comfort be too costly for your budget?
A conditioned warehouse is available in all major cities. That is not the issue. The issue is the cost, and that is an issue you, the business owner, must face before beginning your search for a warehouse for rent.
