Diversify Your Facility & Expand Your Market

The Trachte™ Boat/RV/Commercial Self-Storage System is designed to accommodate nearly any use, but is ideal for storing sizeable recreational items such as boats and RVs, and is also used for many commercial storage applications. This design is perfect in tourist regions where demand is high for storage of recreational gear during the summer or winter months, and off-season for commercial storage.

The Boat/RV/Commercial building expands the typical market to include nontraditional renters, thereby allowing you to diversify your facility. It provides a solution for storing expensive investments much too large to warehouse within a standard design.

The galvanized structural steel gives protection from harsh environmental conditions such as sun, hail, and rain. Bay widths up to 20′, eave height up to 16′, and door opening height up to 14′ are sure to accommodate any large vehicle.
