What does consumer durables warehousing with Lozy involve?

Lozy provides consumer durables warehousing for large appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, televisions and washing machines, with floor storage, wide racking and two-person handling of bulky cartons. Space is taken monthly across Delhi NCR and our PAN-India network, so brands, dealers and online sellers hold stock without a long lease.

What is consumer durables warehousing?

Consumer durables warehousing is the storage and handling of large, bulky household goods such as refrigerators, air conditioners, televisions and washing machines in a managed facility. It calls for wide aisles, floor-level stacking for heavy units and protection that keeps screens, doors and panels undamaged until dispatch.

Key points

• Wide aisles and floor blocks planned around bulky appliance footprints
• Careful handling routines that protect screens, panels and finished surfaces
• Two-person and mechanical handling for heavy units, not manual lifts
• Stored ready for installation, so units reach customers undamaged and complete
• Monthly plans that flex with summer peaks and festive appliance sales

Planning consumer durables warehousing around appliance footprints

Appliance storage starts with the carton, not the product. A refrigerator box needs a floor position wide and deep enough to sit flat, and a television carton should never lie face-down or carry weight on the screen side. Teams map these footprints first, then set aisle widths so trolleys and pallet jacks pass without brushing stock. Units that arrive on pallets stay on them wherever possible, and carton corners are protected before goods enter a storage block. This planning is what prevents the dents that follow a rushed layout.

Summer peaks and festive surges set the calendar

Appliances follow a rhythm most categories do not. Air conditioners move in volume from early spring, when dealer networks stock up ahead of the heat, while washing machines and televisions peak with festive sales, when showrooms and online orders climb together. Stock often lands in full truckloads weeks before demand, so space must be ready early and released cleanly once the season settles. Planning storage around these two waves, instead of one fixed annual footprint, keeps rent proportional to the season and every model in reach when dealers ask.

What shapes the cost of storing large appliances

Storage rates for bulky appliances follow the space you take, and large goods simply take more of it. Cost depends on the floor and rack area your models need, whether stock arrives palletised or loose, how long it stays, and how much handling Lozy provides at check-in and dispatch. Loading bay time and the location of the facility against your delivery zones are part of the picture too. Everything is discussed and quoted in writing before the first truck unloads, so plans can be compared on like terms.

How to choose a warehouse for Electronics & Consumer Durables

For brands, dealers and sellers, the warehouse is where expensive units wait between the factory and the customer's home. These checks matter more than the rate chart:

Floor space and ceiling height

Large appliances are stored by footprint, not by shelf. Check that the facility has open floor area, ceilings high enough for safe stacking of sturdy cartons, and aisles a loaded trolley can pass through.

Racking rated for real weights

A refrigerator carton needs a wider, deeper bay than standard shelving allows. Ask about rack load limits, bay dimensions and how heavy units are placed without straining beams or handlers.

Damage controls in writing

Ask how cartons are checked on arrival, who handles lifts, and what protection applies to screens, doors and panels. Facilities that record carton condition at check-in settle damage questions quickly.

Handling aids and trained pairs

Trolleys, pallet jacks and two-person lifting rules decide whether a washing machine reaches the van undented. Confirm what equipment the facility keeps and how handlers are briefed on large units.

Seasonal space that flexes

Appliance demand is lumpy: air conditioners climb from early spring and festive sales peak late in the year. A monthly plan that flexes beats a fixed lease that stays half empty in quiet months.

Dispatch and installation timing

Many durables are delivered and installed together, so loading bays, staging areas and cut-off timings must match delivery slots. Trucks should leave with complete sets, not nine pieces of a ten-piece order.

Security for high-value stock

A truckload of televisions carries serious value. Look for controlled access, CCTV coverage and a check-out process that records every unit leaving the gate with documents, not just every unit arriving.

Location against delivery zones

Every appliance is expensive to move twice. A warehouse inside your main sales belt, or one holding regional stock, cuts freight and shortens the delivery windows you can promise to customers.

Frequently asked questions

Which appliances can be stored with Lozy?

Refrigerators, air conditioners, televisions, washing machines, dishwashers and large kitchen appliances are all normal for appliance storage with Lozy, alongside display units, spare panels and accessories kept with them. Share the model list and the team confirms handling and space.

How much room does a consignment of appliances need?

Space is quoted by floor and rack area rather than unit count, because appliance cartons vary widely in footprint. Share box dimensions and quantities and Lozy's team maps a storage plan before the first truck arrives, sized to what you ship.

How do you prevent dents and screen damage?

At Lozy, cartons are checked on arrival, stacked within weight limits and handled by trained pairs with trolleys and pallet jacks. Screens, doors and panels keep their original packing and corner protection until dispatch, and any pre-existing damage is recorded.

Can Lozy handle air conditioner season rushes?

Yes. At Lozy, air conditioner stock builds before summer and moves fast through spring and early summer, so extra floor space can be taken a few weeks ahead and released afterwards, keeping peak stock clear of year-round inventory.

Do you support dealer and showroom deliveries from storage?

Yes. Stock can be held and staged model-wise for dealer and showroom deliveries, with dispatch documentation for each consignment. Lozy works alongside your own transport team or the delivery partners you use.

What does appliance storage cost with Lozy?

Plans start at ₹12 per sq ft per month. The final rate depends on the space you take, its location, your term and the handling involved, and Lozy's team replies with the rate and availability in writing once the requirement is checked.

How does Lozy protect high-value appliance stock?

At Lozy, high-value stock sits in CCTV-monitored storage with controlled access, and units are recorded at check-in and check-out. Visits by your team happen with prior coordination, so stock can be counted and audited without disturbing daily operations.

Can display units be stored with saleable stock at Lozy?

Display pieces can share a Lozy facility, ideally in a separate bay so they do not block fast-moving models. Record their condition at check-in, since display pieces usually carry cosmetic wear that should not be mistaken for fresh damage.

Is there a minimum storage period for appliances?

Lozy bills monthly with no long lock-in, so a season, a campaign or a slow quarter all work as storage periods. Ask about notice terms when booking so the plan follows your sales calendar.

Can Lozy receive and dispatch appliance stock for us?

Yes. Lozy can receive goods against your documents, check them in, store and stage them for dispatch, while your own team manages sales and delivery schedules. Receiving hours and access rules are agreed at onboarding.
