The Benefits of Steel Storage Buildings

Published by admin under Storage Service

Steel is gaining in popularity as a building material due to the many options it offers, its strength, and its affordability. Steel storage buildings are one of the many options available; they range from airplane hangars to garden sheds. The most popular use for steel storage buildings is as self-storage units. Security, space, strength and low maintenance are some of the advantages.

Steel is the preferred choice for storage buildings as it is strong enough to resist extreme weather conditions like high-speed winds, heavy snowfall and earthquakes. Low structural maintenance costs also make it a viable alternative. Steel storage buildings can be coated with aluminum compounds to prevent rusting. Steel paneling coated with aluminum compounds prevents rusting, and increases the life of the panels to almost thirty years.

Steel storage buildings quick and easy to erect. They are available in the form of pre-engineered structures that are sent directly to the building site for instant assembling. Pre-engineering involves cutting, drilling and welding done at the manufacturing site itself, thus making erection quicker and cheaper.

Versatility is another advantage of steel storage units. They come with adjustable panels, so that the size of each individual unit can be changed as per individual requirements. Easy expansion also enables easier addition of new units to the existing building, and the lack of support columns means that there is more free space within the building.

The likelihood of a fire destroying a steel building or spreading to other units is very low as they are non-combustible. This makes steel storage buildings especially suitable for storing chemicals and other hazardous materials. Furthermore, use of security systems like alarms and coded keypads increase the security of these buildings.

Costs are not only usually lower for steel buildings, but the total costs are usually more easily and accurately predicted. Steel buildings that are used for storage purposes cost less than conventional buildings, as they can be pre-engineered to suit the exact requirements of the site.

Net-centric Data Storage Using Marine Robotic Equipment

Published by admin under Storage Service

Using Mechanical Fish as Repeater Stations and Data Storage for information to complete OODA Loop and eliminate the issues of bandwidth problems in net-centric warfare. Mechanical fish are easy enough to build;

We can use these devises to assist us in data collection and since it is mechanical it will not bite on any fishing lines and be equipped with a cutter device to go throw local fishing nets. Provided the fish is large enough no few bigger fish will try to eat it and with razor fins, god help them if they try. The Net-centric component of the robotic fish can surface to receive data from UGV and Troops, Equipment maintenance data to be retrieved during non-peak usage times. Since we are building mobile cell sites for cellular phones in trucks, on boats and in spherical balloons, putting one inside a mechanical fish, but it would only receive the data and store it in a water proof, terabyte, underwater, fully operational swimming robotic mechanical fish.

Each robotic repeater fish will swim around in a grid pattern to the other repeaters laying down a perfect coverage pattern for marine communication. The military applications are obvious, but also consider the concept for marine environmental issues, marine communication, oil spill and dumping control and defense of our shore lines?

Bike Storage Racks

Published by admin under Storage Service

The patented BUA (Bikes Up & Away) aluminum storage system stores bicycles and other active sports gear off of the floor and out of the way. The tension mount design fits ceiling heights up to 11′. It stores up to 4 bikes (200 lb capacity). The patented TrakRak adjustable arm system adjusts to accommodate cycles of any style.

The oak bicycle storage racks are available in floor-to-ceiling tension mount; freestanding, fulcrum style (leans against the wall), and permanent wall mount designs. These are made of furniture-grade American red oak with a hand-rubbed oil stain finish. These racks are as attractive as they are functional.

The Off-The-Wall wall mount family of bike storage racks provides a great budget-conscious solution to cycle storage. This is available in 1-bike and 2-bike models, in both horizontal and vertical storage designs.

The On-The-Floor bike rack series provides options for both permanent and portable bike storage. For races and rallies, the Grandstand portable 1-bike rack is perfect. Cycle storage options from 2 bikes to 6 bikes are provided by the folding floor-stand bike rack series. For family home storage, the requirement is met with the deluxe 6-bike floor stand models. The new GarageSaver offers the option of storing the bikes parallel or opposing to maximize the cycle storage efficiency.

High-quality storage options at very affordable prices are offered by the new-patented BikeTree line of bike storage racks. The free standing BikeTree HD (heavy duty) features 2-way adjustable storage arms to hold any style of bike. The BikeTree Solo offers the same patented feature in a very affordable wall-mount design.

If overhead space is available, one can use the hoist systems. The Standard Bike Hoist lifts any bike (up to 50 lbs), and the dual rope Deluxe Hoist System is rated for 120 lb capacity and includes a set of “belly straps” for storing canoes, kayaks, car-top carriers and more. Overhead storage is a great option to de-clutter the garage!
