Why Arlington Businesses Choose Gratton Warehouse

Green and gold farm fields with a grain bin and a country road stretching toward the Elkhorn River valley near Arlington, Nebraska — Farm Country · Arlington, Nebraska

Arlington is a small Washington County town on US-30 in the Elkhorn River country, surrounded by cropland and livestock operations. Its economy leans on farming, farm supply, trades, small shops and families who commute toward Fremont and Omaha, so most local companies run lean and lean on contract storage help instead of a building of their own. Shipping out in any direction takes planning, and the short drive toward the metro puts a full carrier network within reach.

Gratton is not located in Arlington. Our one and only facility stands at 11005 E Circle, Omaha, NE 68137, roughly 31 miles and 39 minutes from your door. Picture an Omaha, NE warehouse where your inventory sits beside the metro's carriers, which lets a very small operation ship the way a large one does.

In a town this size, every rented square foot is felt on the monthly budget. A seed and parts dealer carries stock for one busy season, a craft maker takes a big wholesale order, and a feed supplier receives pallets it has nowhere to put. Pairing up with an outsourced logistics provider moves that burden to someone else's floor. Pick contract, seasonal, public or overflow space and pay by the month, with no minimum anywhere in the deal, so rent tracks real use. A named account manager studies your goods and your buyers, so a crew of two or three never has to master freight alone.

At our Omaha building the daily routine is built around moving goods without delay. Crews empty containers, route mixed trucks through cross-docking so freight skips the shelf, and turn big pallets into smaller outbound lots with break-bulk shipping. An Arlington web seller can hand over picking and packing plus returns management, and a craftsperson can request kitting, sub-assembly or special project help for gift sets. Outbound freight rides as LTL or truckload, or leaves as parcels with UPS, FedEx and USPS. The pallet-rack area accepts a lone piece as heavy as 5 tons, and Arlington freight meets matching dock ratings.

Distance is easy to manage when you can see everything from your phone. The warehouse management system behind Gratton runs online and is supplied by 3PL Central (Extensiv), and it puts live stock, order and shipment data on whatever screen is nearby, even inside a tractor cab. Each move is logged by RF-driven wireless barcode scanning, and cameras watch every Gratton facility. Gratton also holds membership in AIB, in the Omaha Chamber and in the National Safety Council. An owner answering to partners or lenders can ask the account manager for a summary listing arrivals, departures and what still sits on the racks.

Beginning is simple. Ring (402) 339-9993 on a weekday during office hours to request a warehousing quote, then tell us what Arlington products you move, which carriers you use and about how many pallets you picture. Catalogs of 1 to 5,000 SKUs and loads weighing 1 to 10,000 pounds are well within range. An account manager sketches the receiving, storage and outbound steps at your pace. Gratton is a fourth-generation family business, so someone accountable always picks up. Rather see figures first? Weigh that quote against what building or renting your own space would cost.

Made for Rural Shippers

How Gratton Supports Arlington Businesses

Washington County firms find different uses for a Nebraska warehouse, whether they supply grain country or sell from a spare bedroom. Four common arrangements appear below.

Rows of tall racks holding heavy machinery parts, steel drums and crated tools in a bright industrial storage building

Farm Supply Dealers

Dealers who sell parts, tools and seasonal supplies to growers can park slow-moving stock in Omaha and call it forward only when a customer needs it.

Equipment parts and industrial products arrive on our docks, get scanned into the system and sit on racks until a customer order releases them. Because our stock tracking shows counts in real time, a dealer can check a part number from the shop counter before promising delivery. Heavy items up to 5 tons are welcome on our pallet storage racks, and expedited delivery covers the breakdowns that cannot wait for the next scheduled truck. Spring and fall bring peaks, and seasonal contract storage lets you expand for those weeks and shrink again without a long lease hanging over the rest of the year.

Home-Based Sellers

Small-town entrepreneurs selling crafts, candles or specialty goods online often outgrow the spare room long before their orders slow down.

Sending stock to Gratton clears the garage and the dining table at once. Our floor team picks each order, confirms it with a barcode scan and hands the carton to UPS, FedEx or USPS, so you can ship online orders without hiring staff. Returns come back to our dock under returns management, and inventory reports can show what sold. You keep your brand, your customer emails and your creative time, and the packing tape belongs to us. Holiday spikes are handled with short-term shared warehouse space that you release in January.

Grain-Country Food Makers

Producers turning local crops and livestock into packaged foods need clean space that keeps their product safe until a retail buyer places an order.

Our FDA-registered, food-grade building includes temperature-controlled space, a good home for boxed grocery items and natural foods that should never bake in a summer shed. A producer in the Elkhorn valley can send finished cases to our food-grade storage building in Omaha, then move by LTL or truckload to stores around the region. Barcode scanning and live counts back up this arrangement, and month-to-month terms let a young brand test a new distributor without committing to a year of rent.

Regional Wholesalers

Wholesalers supplying stores in Washington, Dodge and Douglas counties can consolidate their inventory in one hub rather than juggling small storerooms.

Trucks arriving from I-80 pull up to our docks, where crews turn bulk pallets into store-ready orders. Different suppliers can share one trailer through freight consolidation, so half-full loads merge and fewer trailers run the road. General merchandise, apparel, toys, electronics and industrial goods follow the same process. Outbound shipments leave on LTL or full truckload, and will-call pickup works for buyers who prefer to collect in person. For an Arlington wholesaler the benefit is reach: goods leave a central Midwest hub that carriers serve daily, not a rural storeroom they visit by special arrangement.

About Gratton Warehouse Company

Inside the Gratton Warehouse facility in Omaha: tall orange pallet racking stocked with bagged goods, a reach truck, and boxed pallets staged on the floor

Gratton Warehouse Company began serving Omaha in 1894 and has worked as a warehouse in Omaha, NE ever since, with the founding family's fourth generation at the helm today. For Arlington clients that history is a practical comfort: you are placing your goods with a firm that has been in business for well over a century. The company is powered by G5 Logistics, it carries more than 130 years of experience, and B2B Omaha gave it a 2023 Best of B2B win. Month-to-month terms without any minimums suit a small account as well as a large one, and that flexibility is what a third-party logistics partner in a town like Arlington should offer farm suppliers and shop owners alike, when every order and every customer counts.

What matters most to Washington County customers is that the arrangement stays flexible. With the building placed beside I-80 and a short hop from the region's other big highways, a driver coming down from US-30 and Highway 133 joins the interstate system quickly and carriers can load without crossing downtown. We hold membership in the Omaha Chamber, which keeps us tied to metro buyers and suppliers. Rather than add satellite buildings, Gratton serves the region from one contract warehousing site, so no Arlington client is asked to fund a building of its own.

Storage That Fits Your Goods

Each account starts with a look at what you sell. The pallet-rack zone accepts anything from one pound to the 10,000-pound mark, including single units near 5 tons, across 1 to 5,000 SKUs. On the shelves you will find general merchandise, consumer goods, apparel and textiles, electronics, toys, machinery for industry, document storage, movie sets and grocery and natural foods. Products that need hazmat services or temperature-controlled storage have a home here too, so a farm-country business with an unusual line does not need to find a second provider. Our warehouse management system tracks each pallet from the dock to the rack, so a busy owner never has to guess what is on hand during a harvest-season rush.

Extra services fill in the rest. Crews can do picking and packing, sub-assembly and kitting, run special projects, and deliver just-in-time to keep a customer's line moving. Returns management receives goods that come back. Buyers who would rather collect an order themselves can use will-call during office hours. Because our scanning tools log each step, you can confirm what happened without placing a call, and your account manager is always a short phone call away on weekdays when something unusual comes up.

A Distant Partner That Responds

Arlington sits about 39 minutes from our dock, and we do not pretend otherwise. What we offer is a distribution hub that reaches farther than a rural storeroom can, with inventory tracking that shows every move. A town grocer, a farm-equipment parts seller or a family bakery can ship across the state and well beyond it through carriers that already call on our docks. The shared-space model means the space you use rises and falls with demand, with no minimum, so a quiet winter leaves no empty shelves on your tab, and a big harvest can still be absorbed.

To get going, hand us a product list, a monthly volume guess and your carrier preferences, and we will outline receiving, storage, distribution services and shipping steps, and can discuss container unloading, break-bulk and JIT schedules at the same time. Once goods land, a single account manager fields your questions, changes and special requests. Passing logistics along frees hours for sales, hiring and the work only you can do. If filling orders is the piece you want to hand over first, begin there and add services as you grow.
