Vital Points To Check When Taking A Silo Rentals Option

By Gregory Harris


Not all people can afford to have enough room to settle their products especially grains and feeds. The need to hire more space to store the surplus product arises. Taking this option means more than just finding a storage facility paying and keep your commodity until its needed. It entails some considerations which when ignored can mean that the wrong space may be hired hence loss or destruction of the commodity. It is a process that involves checking on several parameters before opting for silo rentals.

First of all look at the rates that are being offered when hiring a silo. The cost of renting space should be that which does not exceed the profit or benefit that is to be realized from the product being stored. However, a wide range of rates depicts a variety of features and conditions. The features that can lead to a rise in the rates of hiring include facilities like loading and offloading, aeration and also supplementary heat.

Another important feature to observe is the maintenance and checking conditions of the products during storage. Before going into the hiring contract understand and agree who is to take care of maintenance and routine checking of the item being stored. Most users prefer being the once in control, however, settle for that agreement you feel fits your storage needs.

When negotiating the payment amount, it is also essential to understand the dates on which the payments should be made. Also, discuss with the owner the modes of payment to see if they are matching the renters to prevent some unnecessary costs during payment. It is advisable to negotiate for an option that both the renter and the owner agree on.

Check on the location of your facility. The location and neighborhood of such a facility should be one that satisfies security and safety standards. Security means protection from any form of unauthorized removal of material the renter has stored. Safety means protection from natural calamities and hazard, such as fire and floods.

Consider accessibility to the place. The facility you choose to rent should be well accessed by whatever means that the renter finds fit to them. If for example, the tenant uses heavy trucks, ensure that the chosen rental has well-maintained roads. Communication should also be considered here for smooth running of operations.

The type of silo should also be checked for the material being stored. The choice of type is based on the type of the product being stored and the conditions for its storage. To make the right, choice pay a visit before hiring.

Lastly, carefully examine the charges of electricity. Electricity is a compulsory requirement especially when tower and bunker types are involved. It is a must for aeration and loading and unloading. The costs relating to this should be carefully studied from the records and an agreement reached. This will help to reduce the charging of unprecedented electricity cost if the bearer of the bill is not set during the hiring.
