Property type
Warehouse Space in South Florida.
Clear height, dock and drive-in doors, truck court depth, power, and sprinkler classification for what you are storing.
What to check
Before you sign for warehouse space.
Warehouse deals are decided by measurements. Clear height, dock configuration, truck court depth, power and sprinkler classification either fit your operation or they do not, and none of it is negotiable after signing.
- Clear height, measured properly
Clear height is the unobstructed height to the lowest hanging obstruction, not the roof. It sets your racking and therefore your cost per pallet position. Have it measured rather than quoted.
- Docks, drive-ins and truck court
Count the dock-high doors, check for levelers and seals, and confirm at least one drive-in if you need one. Then look at the truck court depth — a yard too shallow for a 53-foot trailer to swing makes the docks academic.
- Sprinkler classification has to match the product
The commodity you store determines the sprinkler system required. ESFR and standard wet systems are not interchangeable, and a mismatch is a code problem and an insurance problem at the same time.
- Power, lighting and cooling
Confirm available amperage and phase for your equipment. In South Florida also ask what, if anything, is cooled — it changes both operating cost and what you can store.
Questions
Warehouse Space, answered.
What clear height do I need?
It depends on your racking and your product. The useful exercise is working backwards from pallet positions to the height that delivers them, which is something we can do before touring.
What is the difference between dock-high and grade-level?
Dock-high sits at trailer bed height for direct loading; grade-level is a drive-in at ground height for vans and forklifts. Most operations need one specific mix, and the wrong one is expensive to work around.
Should I be worried about the roof?
In South Florida, yes — roof age drives insurance cost and is a common source of dispute. Ask for the age, the last inspection, and who is responsible for repair and replacement under the lease.
