A Toutabri® storage shed depends first and foremost on what you need to protect, your storage volumes, your handling equipment and the constraints of your site. Thanks to its modular design, TOUTABRI meets a wide range of needs, from agricultural to industrial storage.

What can be stored under a Toutabri®?

TOUTABRI buildings can meet a wide range of storage needs:

• Farm equipment and machinery
• Worksite machinery and equipment
• Wood and wood products
• Recyclable materials and recoverable waste
• Aggregates and bulk materials
• Fodder: hay, straw and alfalfa
• Pallets, big bags and goods
• Vehicles
• Construction materials

This versatility makes it possible to adapt the building to the activities of a company or farm, while also allowing storage capacity to evolve as needs change.

Example of a Toutabri® used for agricultural storage.

1. Store farm equipment and machinery

Tractors, trailers, tools, farm machinery and seasonal equipment represent significant investments for a farm. Protecting them from the elements helps preserve the equipment while improving site organisation.

A farm equipment storage shed can be sized according to the equipment used, the volume to be sheltered and handling requirements.

The width, height and length of the building can therefore be adapted to the farm’s requirements and the future development of its machinery fleet.

2. Shelter worksite machinery and equipment

Storage needs are not limited to agriculture. Construction companies also need to protect valuable equipment and organise their sites efficiently.

Trucks, earthmoving machinery, loaders, trailers, buckets, big bags and other equipment can be grouped together under a storage shelter for worksite equipment.

The building can be configured according to the size of the machinery and the traffic flows required for its operation.

3. Store wood protected from the elements

Logs, wood chips, sawdust, pellets or wood intended for processing: the wood industry has a wide range of storage requirements.

A wood storage shed protects products from precipitation while maintaining suitable ventilation.

The building configuration can be designed according to the type of wood stored, the volumes involved and the equipment used for handling.

4. Protect recyclable materials and recoverable waste

Cardboard, plastics, wood, construction waste and materials intended for sorting often need to be protected from the elements while remaining easily accessible to handling equipment.

TOUTABRI solutions for construction, environment and recycling make it possible to create covered areas suited to different material flows.

A single site can therefore organise several storage areas according to the type of products and their intended use.

5. Store aggregates and bulk materials

Sand, gravel, aggregates, soil, compost, salt and construction waste: many bulk materials require a covered storage area.

A bulk storage shelter can meet the needs of quarries, concrete plants, cement works, recycling platforms and construction companies.

The height and access points of the building can be designed to facilitate loading, unloading and handling operations.

Example of bulk material storage under a Toutabri®.

6. Store fodder: hay, straw and alfalfa

Fodder storage is one of the historical uses of TOUTABRI buildings. Hay, straw and alfalfa need to be protected from the elements while benefiting from suitable ventilation.

A fodder storage shed can accommodate different bale sizes and can be sized according to the volumes produced by the farm.

The dimensions and access points are also designed according to the machinery used for handling.

7. Store pallets, big bags and goods

In industry and logistics, storage space requirements can change rapidly due to increased volumes, seasonality, new products or site reorganisation.

A TOUTABRI industrial and logistics storage building can accommodate pallets, big bags, goods stored on the ground or various racking solutions.

This modular design makes it possible to quickly create additional covered areas while maintaining an organisation suited to logistics flows.

8. Shelter vehicles

Trucks, utility vehicles, trailers, agricultural vehicles and other wheeled equipment can be grouped together under a covered space suited to their dimensions.

TOUTABRI also offers solutions for winter storage of vehicles, protecting different types of equipment during periods when they are not in use.

The choice of openings and building dimensions depends directly on the vehicles concerned and how frequently they need to enter and leave the building.

9. Protect construction materials

Pallets, big bags, packaged materials, equipment and construction components can be grouped together under one building to improve the organisation of a worksite, depot or logistics platform.

TOUTABRI solutions for construction and the environment make it possible to adapt the covered area to the operational requirements of each activity.

How to choose the right storage shed?

There is no single building configuration suitable for every need. The dimensions of a storage shed should take several criteria into account:

• The type of products or equipment to be stored
• Current and future storage volumes
• The type of storage: bulk, pallets, racks, big bags or machinery
• The dimensions of handling equipment
• The frequency of incoming and outgoing movements
• Closure and ventilation requirements
• Site constraints
• Future developments in the activity

The intended use should therefore determine the building configuration, not the other way around.

The different solutions in the range make it possible to adapt the width, length, height and equipment of the building to each project. To compare the available configurations, discover TOUTABRI® products.
