Warranties Have Storage Clauses

Manufacturer warranties often include requirements for how equipment must be stored when not in use. That could mean humidity thresholds, minimum clearances, or even restrictions on stacking. When equipment ends up in the wrong environment, those warranties are at risk. Businesses unaware of the fine print can lose out on costly repairs or replacements.

Humidity Mismanagement

Storing equipment in areas with fluctuating or excessive moisture is one of the quickest ways to invalidate a warranty. Rust, corrosion, and mold are all signs of storage failure. Consequently, these are also signs of eventual warranty violations. Our facility focuses on humidity-controlled storage, which is not to be confused with climate control. This targeted approach manages moisture, helping maintain the integrity of sensitive materials, especially in electronics, precision machinery, and field-ready gear.

Improper Handling

In addition to providing a place where equipment can sit, storage also pertains to how it is moved, accessed, and maintained. Equipment that is improperly loaded or stored in a way that stresses its structure can show signs of damage long before use. Our Houston industrial storage facility is equipped with certified rigging and lifting services, reducing the risk of mishandling and protecting your assets.

Environmental Damage

When stored outdoors without proper procedures, equipment is exposed to dust, heat, UV degradation, and water infiltration. If you later submit a warranty claim, manufacturers can deny coverage based on signs of neglect—even if the equipment was never used. Titan provides secure outdoor storage in Houston with industry-informed practices designed to minimize environmental exposure.
