3PL Warehousing for Lincoln, NE Businesses

An Omaha warehouseFamily Run Since 1894One family has kept Gratton running for 130-plus years, and the firm earned a Best of B2B award in 2023. since 1894, Gratton Warehouse Company remains under the founding family's leadership, now in its fourth generation. For Lincoln clients an hour away, that continuity means a partner who stays reachable and accountable. Over more than a century the business has kept pace with new trucks, scanning tools and software, while one commitment never moved: protect the goods. G5 Logistics supplies the company's power, and B2B Omaha put it on its 2023 Best of B2B list.

For customers in Lancaster County, I-80 is the practical link. Our facility is close to the interstate and reaches other major highways easily, so a load from Lincoln can follow one road for most of the trip. Our Omaha Chamber ties link us with the metro business community at that corridor's eastern end. We avoid scattered satellite buildings; one site serves every contract warehousing client, so there is one address to remember. That single address also makes returns, will-call and carrier pick-ups easy to coordinate.

Handling for Varied Goods

Every account begins with what you sell. On the floor, loads range from one pound to 10,000, and a lone piece may reach 5 tons. Racks are filled with apparel, textiles, electronics, toys, consumer goods, industrial machinery, archived documents, groceries, natural foods and movie sets. Products with special requirements are placed in hazmat or temperature-controlled space, and food producers can use our FDA-registered food-grade storage. A single SKU or thousands, the setup flexes, which helps Lincoln companies that refresh product lines and need order filling for a handful of very different products side by side.

Added services complete the picture for most accounts. Staff handle kitting, special projects, just-in-time schedules and break-bulk shipping, and returns management brings items back into the building. Clients who want to collect their own goods can arrange will-call pick-ups during business hours, easy to combine with a trip to Omaha. Each action is logged in our inventory tracking, so you can read the result without phoning, and the screen seldom trails what happened on the floor. That matters when the building is an hour from your desk and you cannot simply walk across the parking lot. Live stock reports add a record for your own files.

A Partner at the Interstate's East End

Lincoln has seasons of its own. Home football weekends fill the city with visitors, legislative sessions bring people to the Capitol, and the Haymarket's shops, galleries and restaurants stay busy through the year, which keeps deliveries and returns flowing. Businesses that follow those cycles want room that stretches and shrinks at no penalty. The public warehousing approach at Gratton fits, because space grows or shrinks with demand and carries no minimum commitment. A jump in volume means more pallets on our racks, and a quiet spell trims your charges.

Starting is simple. Begin by sending a list of products, rough monthly volumes and the carriers you favor; the team will then set up receiving, racking and outbound shipping. Bring up container unloading, JIT schedules and Lincoln-to-Omaha freight lanes during the same conversation. Once freight is in the building, your account manager is the person to ask about changes, questions or unusual requests. Giving logistics to someone else, even in part, frees hours for sales, hiring and customers, which is where a growing Lincoln company needs its team. Should a third-party logistics setup suit your plans, a short call or form submission gets it started. Capital-city businesses are used to dealing with rules and paperwork, and the same patience applies to getting an account set up here. Ask whatever you need to before committing; there is no obligation in a conversation.
