In industrial manufacturing, timing is critical. Project delays or facility changes can leave you with a need for equipment storage. Finding the right short term industrial storage is essential. When looking at your options, be sure that you are prioritizing specialized spaces that can handle the scale of your commercial appliances.

Key Considerations When Choosing Industrial Storage
When looking for industrial storage solutions, focus on facilities that ensure the safety of your appliances
Climate control to prevent moisture and damage
Commercial appliances are susceptible to mold, corrosion, and rust among other things. A facility without climate control can experience temperature swings that lead to condensation, causing damage to the equipment. Ensuring the facility maintains a stable temperature and little to no humidity limits damage to appliances.
Floor space and access for large appliances
Commercial appliances are large and heavy, so storage facilities will need to have large space, easy access, and sturdy flooring. The ideal facility will have sufficient space for all of your products, concrete flooring, and grade-level access.
Security and controlled facility access
Damage and loss of commercial appliances can lead to a significant financial setback. To protect your equipment and your piece of mind, it is important that any industrial storage site you seek out has strong security features. In addition to threat protection, seek out facilities that offer 24/7 video monitoring and restricted access.
Preparing Commercial Appliances for Storage
Preparing your appliances for storage is just as important as finding the right storage facility.
Cleaning and drying appliances before storage
Cleaning and drying commercial appliances thoroughly before storage to prevent deterioration and ensure the products are ready for immediate use. Thorough cleaning in combination with a climate controlled storage facility is the best way to prevent moisture buildup and appliance damage.
Securing doors, cords, and loose components
An important step to maintaining the safety and integrity of your commercial appliances is securing doors, cords, and loose components. Not only does this keep your equipment intact, but it can prevent any trip or fall mishaps within the storage facility.
Storage Logistics: Transport, Placement, and Access
The logistics of moving a CNC machine into storage require a coordinated effort between the rigging crew and the warehouse management. Try to ensure that the rigger who picks up the machine at your shop is the same one overseeing its placement in the storage bay, so it doesn’t need to change hands so many times. You should also negotiate your access rights early. If your technicians need to perform routine maintenance or inspections while the machine is stored, the facility must be able to accommodate these visits safely.
Common Types of Commercial Appliances to Store
Common types of commercial appliances include:
- Reach-In Refrigerators/Freezers
- Walk-In Coolers/Freezers
- Display Refrigerators
- Worktop Refrigerators
- Blast Chillers/Freezers
- Kegerators and Beverage Dispensers
These are heavy-duty, high-capacity machines designed for use in professional environments such as restaurants, hotels, and schools. Short term storage for commercial appliances is essential for managing and protecting equipment during transitions, renovations, or peak demand periods.
