Warehouses can differ by the sizes, a design, extent of mechanization of warehouse operations, by the form warehousing, on functional purpose. The warehouse can be a link in a chain of the movement of production of production appointment (warehouses of raw materials, finished goods, specialized warehouses, etc.), or to be on the site of the movement of consumer goods (warehouses).

- to coverage and location;
- fire resistance degrees.

material,
intra production,
marketing and transport organizations.
Material
warehouses specialize stored the raw materials, materials completing,

a construction distinguish the ground, half-closed and closed
storages, and also warehouse devices of a special design. Open are
platforms with a hard coating (raised and slightly inclined) on which
the reserve of material or the products which are not exposed to
atmospheric and temperature actions is concentrated. Half-closed are
canopies for protection of materials against an atmospheric
precipitation in windless areas; canopies with 1 — 3 walls protect
materials from hit on them an atmospheric precipitation under the
influence of wind and protect the people working under canopies. The
closed warehouses happen one-stored, multistoried, heated, not heated
warmed and should warmed. Special warehouse devices are constructions
of bunker and reservoir type.
