Oversize, under cover. Every position agreed first.

What does heavy equipment warehousing with Lozy involve?

Lozy stores machinery, fabricated structures and oversized project items in covered facilities, with handling and placement planned around each item's dimensions and weight. Consignments are protected from dust and weather and released in phases against project site schedules, billed monthly across Delhi NCR and our India network.

What is heavy equipment warehousing?

Heavy equipment warehousing is the storage of machinery, fabricated structures and other oversized project items in a managed facility. Because these items are difficult to move and costly to damage, handling plans and storage positions are agreed before arrival, and dispatch follows the project's site schedule.

Key points

• Covered storage areas sized for machinery, fabricated structures and crated assemblies
• Handling and placement plans agreed before each item arrives at the facility
• Long-lead project storage with phased dispatch in line with site readiness
• Equipment kept off damp floors and covered against dust and monsoon weather
• Monthly billing that suits project timelines, with GST invoices issued

How handling plans work in heavy equipment warehousing

Every oversized item comes with three questions: how does it get in, where does it sit, and how does it come out. The process works when those answers are agreed before the trailer is loaded. Dimensions, weight distribution, access needs and the dispatch sequence are reviewed together, and the storage position is chosen so the item can be retrieved later without disturbing its neighbours. That planning is what keeps a machinery consignment from becoming an obstacle course in a shared warehouse.

Staging long-lead equipment before a project starts

On long projects, equipment is often ready well before the site is. Storing it well means treating the warehouse as a staging area: items checked in against the project register, kept under cover, and released in the order the site can actually receive them. Foundations, structure and fit-out follow each other in a sequence, and a dispatch plan that matches construction reality saves rehandling and stops expensive items sitting exposed on site for months.

What drives the cost of heavy equipment storage

Billing is monthly, based on the floor space your items occupy and the handling they need, with GST invoices for registered businesses. Rates depend on location, the term, access requirements and how densely items can be stored, and the team quotes in writing after a requirement check or a site walk-through. The comparison worth making is not rate alone: equipment stored without cover or planning costs far more in refurbishment than a slightly higher rate on the right space.

How to choose a warehouse for Engineering & Heavy Equipment

Choosing storage for machinery is mostly about the day the item arrives and the day it leaves. These checks help project and plant teams avoid the common mistakes in between.

Route and access reviewed first

Ask how the path from gate to storage position is planned: turning space, door widths, floor route and final placement. If access is treated as an afterthought, the item is parked wherever it happens to fit.

A handling plan before arrival

The right time to plan movement is before dispatch, when the item can still be packed and braced for storage. Confirm exactly what information the facility needs from your project team.

Floor space for irregular shapes

Machinery and fabricated frames rarely stack. Look for clear floor areas that suit their footprints and heights, with walkways kept open so stored items can still be inspected and counted.

Protection from dust and weather

Covered storage, items raised off damp floors and adequate wrapping slow the wear that turns functional equipment into a refurbishment task before it ever reaches the site. Ask what covering is included.

Long-lead storage terms

Projects slip, so confirm how extended storage is billed, how often the arrangement is reviewed, and what notice is needed before a partial release or the final dispatch to site.

Staged dispatch readiness

Ask how release lists are sequenced and how quickly an item can be readied for transport once the site gives clearance, especially when several items leave in one dispatch slot.

Records that outlast the project

Check-in notes, condition observations and an inventory list at the facility should match your own project register, so final reconciliation takes an afternoon rather than a month of emails at close.

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of equipment can be stored with Lozy?

Typical items include production machines, fabricated structures, control panels, skids, base frames, crated assemblies and project spares. Share dimensions, weights and photos when you enquire and the team will confirm what suits the available space.

How is oversized equipment moved into and around storage?

Movement is planned item by item in advance: the access route, clearances and final storage position are agreed, and that plan is followed on arrival. Requirements are reviewed before storage is confirmed, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can equipment be stored for many months before dispatch?

Yes. Long-lead project storage is common: items stay under cover, are reviewed at agreed intervals and are released when the site is ready, billed monthly so the arrangement moves with the project timeline.

How much does heavy equipment storage cost with Lozy?

Plans start at ₹12 per sq ft per month, and the final rate depends on the space your items occupy, the location, the term and the handling they need. The team confirms a written quote after reviewing the requirement.

How is equipment protected from dust and weather?

Items are kept under cover and off damp floors, with wrapping and covering retained or refreshed where needed. Storage positions avoid leak paths and busy movement routes, so machinery surfaces and electricals stay in working condition.

Can dispatches be staged to match project site progress?

Yes. Provide a release list and the team readies each item in the agreed sequence, so foundations, structures and fit-out equipment arrive when the site can receive, store and install them.

Do you store smaller components along with the machinery?

Yes. Control panels, spares, fasteners and manuals can be stored in the same consignment and labelled against the parent equipment, so nothing gets separated or difficult to match at the dispatch stage.

What information do you need before accepting an oversized item?

Dimensions, approximate weight, access requirements and the intended dispatch sequence help the team plan placement properly. Photos and drawings also help, so share whatever is available at the enquiry stage.

Is interim storage available between factory and site?

Yes. Equipment can wait safely between production and installation, whether that gap is weeks or months. Monthly billing makes interim storage practical instead of forcing an early delivery the site cannot receive.

Can imported machinery be stored after clearing?

Imported project cargo can move from clearance into storage with customs and import-export support through Lozy's customs desk, so equipment is received, checked in and held until the site is ready for it.
