Save by Utilizing an Existing Building

The Trachte™ Create-A-Space Conversion System is a practical solution for converting existing buildings into storage facilities. Utilizing an existing structure is cost effective, as it minimizes the amount of required building materials and takes advantage of property already approved for commercial use. This freestanding system can also be installed within new construction.

Regardless of the existing building design, the conversion system can be customized to maximize available space and the unit mix can be tailored to meet customer needs, and ultimately increase your rental income.
