Description of storage hall

A storage hall is a large, open, usually elongated space that is usually only one storey high. A storage hall is a classic form of logistics property. In the past, storage hall were also referred to as warehouses.

The purpose of storage hall is to store goods, merchandise, materials or raw materials temporarily or permanently. Storage halls come in different sizes and designs. A storage hall can be built underground or above ground. You should build or rent a storage hall if you need a suitable area to store goods and commodities.

Storage halls are important as they protect the goods and products from the environment. They are an integral part of warehouse logistics and contract logistics. They can optimise warehouse logistics and contract logistics and thus reduce the costs of storing goods and materials. Storage halls can also protect the quality of stored goods and materials by protecting them from harmful environmental influences such as rain, snow, sun and dust.

Storage halls are usually designed to provide the largest possible storage area at the lowest possible construction cost. LAGERflaeche.de is happy to support you in your search for the perfect storage hall with its partners!

Construction of storage halls

Storage halls can be built from different materials such as steel, wood or concrete. They can be used in different ways - e.g. as a cold storage or freezing hall, as a storage room for volatile goods or as a storage room for heavy goods. The construction of storage halls is very simple and they are usually made of reinforced concrete or sheet metal.

There are options here, such as normal halls, lightweight halls, quick-build halls, steel construction halls, temporary halls (mobile hall systems), etc. The height of the building depends on the intended use, e.g. block storage or shelved storage, and can be between 6 m and, as is common today, 12 m UKB (lower edge of truss). Overall, the mostly old warehouses or storage sheds have given way to modern buildings (storage areas).

Many different factors (energy, construction time, costs) have to be taken into account in a new building today. The characteristics of a storage hall vary depending on its size and equipment. The extent to which a storage hall is useful for storing goods and commodities depends on the specific requirements.

The interior of the hall can be divided as a goods receiving area, picking area, production area, office area, etc. There are a number of points to consider when designing a storage hall. The main features of a storage hall should be high stability, sufficient size and good ventilation and lighting.

Areas of application of a storage hall

The purpose of a storage hall in the logistics sector is to store goods or raw materials. In addition, the interior of the hall can be divided into goods receiving, order picking, production, office areas, etc. Basically, one can distinguish between two types of storage halls: One is used for the storage of all kinds of goods, the other is specialised in the storage of bulk goods, such as grains, sand, flour or coal. A convenient location and a possible connection to railway tracks or sea shipping lines can be advantageous to ensure today's requirement of logistical processes (contract logistics).
