•   Internal or covered storage - Maintaining the integrity of goods and products. Enabling the control of climatic variables.
•   External storage - Making it ideal for loads that won’t be affected by the weather. Generally installed in areas closed off with safety, security fences, railings or flexi-barriers.
•   Central storage - Located near the production plant. Keeping the cost of goods transport to a minimum.
•   Regional storage - A strategic location ensuring distribution of the goods in the shortest possible time.
