Why This Size Works
The 40 foot clear-span width provides open, unobstructed workspace, while the 80 foot depth allows for long equipment layouts, large inventory zones, and multiple work areas. The 16 foot wall height supports tall machinery, overhead doors, interior racking systems, and mezzanine additions. The clear-span design eliminates interior posts, making the full floor area usable.
This size is popular among small and mid sized companies that need more space but want to avoid oversized industrial footprints.

Insulation packages up to R 60 support heated, comfortable, year round commercial use.
