Freight arrived early but facility isn't ready?
Climate controlled storage solutions from Gateway Distribution in Colorado, CO.
Your shipment made it to Colorado ahead of schedule, but your warehouse or facility won't be ready for weeks. You need somewhere secure to store temperature-sensitive equipment until you can take delivery. Regular outdoor storage could damage electronics, pharmaceuticals, or other climate-sensitive freight.
Early freight deliveries happen more often than you'd think. Suppliers ship ahead of weather windows, carriers find faster routes, or your receiving facility hits construction delays. When your freight contains electronics, medical supplies, or other temperature-sensitive items, you can't just park it anywhere and hope for the best.
Short-term climate controlled storage typically runs $2-5 per square foot per month, depending on your freight size and how long you need space. Temperature-controlled warehouse space costs more than basic storage, but it's cheaper than replacing damaged equipment. Colorado's temperature swings between seasons make climate control especially important for sensitive cargo.
Call a freight company with secure warehouse facilities that offer climate controlled storage. Ask about their temperature range, humidity control, and security systems. Gateway Distribution operates climate controlled warehouse space that can handle short-term storage while you get your facility ready. Make sure they can coordinate delivery to your final destination when you're ready.
Once your freight is safely stored, you can focus on getting your facility prepared without worrying about weather damage or theft. Your equipment stays in controlled conditions until you're ready to take delivery at your actual location.

warehouse storage vs own facility
Outside warehouse storage makes sense when your facility costs more per square foot than rental space, or when you need overflow capacity during peak seasons. Look for facilities that offer inventory management and can ship directly to customers. Calculate the total cost including transportation between locations.
