Warehouse tents are so incredibly useful. These adaptable products can be customized in so many ways to meet the needs of many very different industries. From sizing and height to door placement and width. Many industries take advantage of the usefulness of these tents by using them as storage, for protection from outside weather, or as temporary offices in the field. Whatever the specific reason each industry chooses them, tent warehouses come in handy in any setting.
For example, check out how these six industries which use warehouse tents in their operations.
Construction Industry
Those in the construction industry utilize warehouse tents often. This industry is very mobile, the tents often must travel with them. So, why are these tents so popular with construction crews?
- Construction equipment and machinery are very costly and leaving them exposed to the outdoor elements while not in use can result in theft and weathered maintenance issues. Off-site work locations could increase job costs to transport the machinery back and forth each day. Therefore, these tents work to provide shelter and protection for these items when they are not being used.
- If crews did not work each time there was rough weather, they would likely be off work quite a bit. In other words, they must work – whether rain or shine, cold or heat. Warehouse tents can be a place for a reprieve from the weather, while also storing equipment. It provides shelter that can help crews remain healthy when faced with inclement weather.
Agricultural Industry
The agricultural industry has many aspects – those with specialties such as plants, produce, livestock, dairy, or poultry. All of them have a need for warehouse tents.
- Producers of plants and trees require warehouse tents for things such as storage for fertilizers, soil, and equipment. These items need to be protected from outside weather conditions.
- Produce is another part of the agricultural industry. It has the same requirements for a warehouse tent as those with plants and trees. However, because produce will be picked at some point, a storage facility will be needed.
- Warehouse tents can house and protect livestock, as well as several types of poultry. Animals also need protection from the outdoor elements. Tents can provide them that. In addition, these tents can store feed, hay, and other care products for the animals.
- Large equipment, such as tractors, plows, etc. also need to be protected from weather conditions that can cause mechanical deterioration. Many farmers utilize such tents for that reason.
Gas and Oil Industry
The gas and oil industry needs structures erected in, at times, what are very remote and rural locations. Tents are their best and most convenient option. They require buildings that can be used for warehousing, a space for equipment maintenance, pump station housing, cross dock station, and spill containment – just to name a few. These warehouse tents come in handy thanks to their open setup with no interior poles and sturdy and sound structure.
The Military / Defense Industry
The military/defense industry uses warehouses often. Consider the fact that these groups of individuals are always on the move – anywhere in the world! Since they cannot take buildings with them, warehouse tents allow them to bring their own.
The military uses these temporary structures to meet a variety of needs, such as:
- Sleeping quarters. These tents allow enough open space (with no inner poles) to place bunks for many soldiers.
- Mess hall. Soldiers need to eat and they need a place to do so. These tents are perfect for this.
- Many things get shipped with the troops as they travel. So, there must be a storage place for these items.
- Medic tent. Tents can offer a place to house medical services safely.
- Temporary offices. Troops need offices to conduct military business no matter where they are. Warehouse tents allow for offices to be set up neatly and efficiently.
Archeological Industry
Archeologists travel all over the world searching for the next big piece of history. These pieces are buried deep within the earth and require a tedious excavation procedure. Hunched over a pile of sand day in and day out – when happens when, one day, rough weather makes an appearance? In just an instant, the entire project can be ruined.
Perhaps that is the reason why so many archeologists choose to use tents when working on a project. Rather than having it next to the worksite, these tents are usually over the site. This allows the search to continue without fail – thanks to the overhead protection!
Business/Retail Industry
The business industry may seem a bit broad, but it is purposeful. Businesses and corporations of all types use warehouse tents. From retail stores to the latest tech startup company – these tents can come in handy.
- Many businesses stay at one location for an extended period, others move. In doing so, there is a time of transition in which a warehouse tent is commonly used. Sorting out documents, storing office equipment as it transitions between locations, housing merchandise temporarily, etc.
- The holiday season for many retail stores requires ordering an over-abundance of top-selling items. With limited storage space in an already stocked store, a temporary warehouse tent can offer a great solution.
- Company events are popular – providing an opportunity to give back to hardworking employees. These events are often outdoor/picnic-type settings with the help of a tent. After all, they provide a great overall party space.
- Trade shows and other corporate events take place throughout the year. Quite often, these temporary structures house the event thanks to all the benefits and perks that come with them and the freedom they provide to choose the perfect location.
Warehouse tents are commonly used. In fact, now that you are aware of just how popular they are, you will likely see them all over!
