Warehousing and Freight Storage
Short and long-term storage for freight that is not moving yet, or not moving all at once, with handling in and out arranged alongside it.
What Warehousing & Storage actually means
Space for product that has arrived but is not ready to go. Storage between an inbound container and a run of outbound deliveries, overflow when your own facility is full, seasonal stock held ahead of a peak, or a staging point closer to your customers than your own warehouse is. Handling in and out is arranged with the storage, so freight is not sitting idle waiting on a truck to be found.
What you get
- Short and long-term storage options
- Inventory management support
- Convenient Lower Mainland location

Warehousing & Storage, answered
The questions shippers ask before booking this service. If yours is not here, call dispatch and ask.
Typically per pallet per month or per square foot, plus handling in and out. Send the pallet count, how long you expect to hold it and how often you will draw from it, and we can price it against how you will actually use it.
It depends on the facility. Some charge by the month whatever the duration, others prorate. Worth settling before the freight arrives, because the answer often decides whether storage or a cross dock is the cheaper way to solve the same problem.
Usually. Send the inbound details ahead of arrival so the receiving is expected and the pallets are counted against a document rather than guessed at on the dock.
