What Are Warehouse Services? A Guide for Industrial Clients

When it comes to large-scale industrial operations, warehouse services play a crucial role in keeping projects on schedule and assets protected. But what are warehouse services exactly – and how can the right provider make or break your timeline?

Key Summary

Warehouse services refer to the storage, staging, and logistical support required to safely manage industrial equipment and materials. At Atlantic Millwrights, we provide secure and scalable warehouse services designed to meet the unique demands of manufacturing, energy, and construction industries.

What Are Warehouse Services in Industrial Contracting?

Warehouse services include short-term and long-term storage of heavy equipment, machinery, fabricated components, and materials. These services support smooth logistics, reduce jobsite congestion, and protect high-value assets during transitions like shutdowns, plant upgrades, and equipment installation projects.

Unlike standard storage facilities, industrial warehouse services are tailored for large-scale operations and often include:

  • Heavy equipment storage
  • Sensitive component staging
  • Integrated rigging and transportation support
  • 24/7 monitored facilities
  • Turnkey logistics management

What Is a Warehouse Service Provider Company?

A warehouse service provider company offers infrastructure, labor, and expertise to store and manage goods, materials, and equipment. At Atlantic Millwrights, we specialize in warehouse services for industrial projects. That means we don’t just store equipment – we rig it, transport it, and integrate it directly into your construction or millwright project timeline.

With more than 13,000 successful past projects completed across New England, Atlantic Millwrights is trusted by power plants, manufacturing facilities, and food processing operations that can’t afford downtime.

What Are the 5 Main Activities in a Warehouse?

Warehouse operations revolve around five core activities:

1. Receiving

This involves accepting, unloading, and verifying equipment or materials as they arrive.

2. Put-Away

Once received, items are safely stored in designated areas. For sensitive or oversized equipment, our team uses industrial forklifts, spreader bars, and cranes to ensure precision handling.

3. Storage

Items remain in our monitored warehouse until needed. Whether for short- or long-term storage, our facilities are built for heavy-duty industrial needs, offering temperature stability and secure staging space.

4. Order Picking

As your project progresses, we prepare and stage your equipment or components for delivery and installation.

5. Shipping

Our trucking services deliver your materials directly to the jobsite, minimizing handling and eliminating third-party delays. We use our own riggers and operators to oversee final placement and integration.
