Warehousing and distribution
Efficient space today, and room to grow tomorrow. Portex warehouses are conventional steel portal frames, custom engineered for wide clear spans and a dock-ready layout, with erection support and project support as the building goes up. Every frame is engineered, detailed and fabricated by our team in Strathroy, Ontario.

Every Portex building is custom engineered, so if your project is not listed here, ask us about it.
Why Portex for warehouses
Wide clear spans
Large clear spans with fewer interior columns keep the floor open for storage and handling.
Dock-ready layouts
The layout, door openings and heights are custom engineered around how goods move in and out.
Erection and project support
Fast, efficient erection support and project support as your building goes up.
Room to grow
Conventional steel is easier to modify or expand when you need more space.
Planning a warehouse

The guide Planning your steel building lists the rest.
- How goods move in and out: loading docks and large doors, and on which walls
- The clear height you need for storage and handling
- Where interior columns can and cannot go
- Any office space inside
- How much room you may need to grow
