Warehouse Use

What does Warehouse Use mean?

The use of a warehouse depends primarily on the condition of a warehouse or storage area. Depending on the goods to be stored there, the storage rooms must be equipped accordingly. For example, a cooling system is required for storing food or pharmaceutical products. In addition, the use of the warehouse is bound by legal and safety requirements. Example: explosive substances may only be stored in storage rooms where there are certain protective distances from residential areas and traffic routes.
