1 INSIGHT

For tenants, the size, condition, and placement of these doors affect how well goods can be loaded or unloaded, and whether operations run smoothly. Leasing a warehouse with properly designed door access helps maintain steady workflow, reduce delays, and cut unnecessary labor costs.

2 ACTION STEPS FOR TENANTS

• Not all roll-up doors support all vehicle or equipment types. Measure the width/height, test how smoothly they open, and check for wear, rust, or slow motors. Poorly maintained doors can slow workflows and increase maintenance responsibilities.
• Look at the door’s location relative to staging areas, racking, parking, and truck paths. One poorly positioned door can force workers to take longer routes, causing delays and congestion.

3 KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Door configuration affects productivity more than most tenants expect.
• Well-positioned doors speed up loading, cut delays, and keep warehouse traffic safer.
• Don’t rely on listing details. Inspect doors in person to assess functionality and fit.
