387 Transit Warehouse

These buildings are designed for temporary closed storage, freight segregation and loading. Often called truck terminals, they are most commonly built with masonry, wood frame or steel frame walls. The interiors have some finished offices and driver areas. Lighting and plumbing, although adequate to service the personnel, are not excessive or ornate. Heating and ventilation is sufficient to protect stored goods and materials from freezing or other forms of spoilage.

The costs include dock height floors but do not include dock leveling equipment and special material handling facilities.
