My Shop Space Doubled Overnight | What Can We Fit In Here Next?!

A government contractor who had been sharing our shop decided to move out, leaving behind an empty space. As I look around, I realize that this was an opportunity to transform the dumpster and junk removal business we have.
With this newfound space, I made the decision to bring all your skid steers, attachments, excavators, trucks, and trailers indoors. This was a game-changer for operations. No longer is our valuable equipment exposed to the elements, but they are now safely stored under one roof.
Not only does this provide protection from the unpredictable weather, but it also allows for better maintenance and organization. I can now easily access and locate the equipment needed for each job, saving you time and effort. mo more moving things around to get to other things.
Not only is the dream shop coming together, but the property as a whole is developing into something even more! With concrete going down soon and a storage building on its way, we are pouring equity into the property. This will allow us to leverage the space and even the equity itself to grow the business even more.
It's all slowly coming together. The hard work is paying off! Thanks for following the journey!

Add another drive through garage door and turn it into a rolling operation ;). Maintenence station, truck wash, greasing/lube oil changing station.

[@rollingops]

We are actively looking for another door! Because we have a drive through on the other side!

Don’t get to excited about using up all your shop space, it will happen quicker than you think. I bought a shop in 2020 and it was huge. Well I’m 2023 I was out of space and had to buy another shop. Ot will be full before you know it. 😮

[@rollingops]

Leave it to a guy, if I have the space, I will most definitely fill it

[@danielthedumpsterhelper]

So much room for activities!😂 Let’s go!👍

[@rollingops]

Activities still to be determined! Haha

[@hvy1ton]

Get some deep pallet racking for your skid steer attachments.

[@rollingops]

Yea! Keegan and I were talking about that!

[@andrewkolarek4551]

Nice shop, keep it for your business. You’ll find your going to need it .

[@rollingops]

I think that's definitely the case

[@AlexTaylorrr]

Bro I did not realize you were only 3 hrs from me!! That’s badass brother keep grinding

[@rollingops]

Nice where about??

[@BentIronBins]

Nice that slab isn’t cheap. Keep moving forward you can’t make money if you’re not spending it 😉

[@rollingops]

"Takes money to make money!"

[@chrishumphreys7774]

Definitely wouldn't hurt to throw some shelving in there for some of your rental property maintenance stuff or if you catch like flooring or doors on sale for your next flip would be a good place to put it. And having a machines in there kind of suck because that's how people know you got them and that catches their eye. And I don't know if you looked into it or not but they have different setups to move them shipping containers they also have wheels that you can just throw right on the shipping container and you could actually pull it right up onto your flatbed or they have another contraption that you had wheels to it and then there's a tongue that goes on it and you just use that to move the shipping containers around. Kind of cool.

[@rollingops]

Yea I've seen the wheels and will likely get a set because it would make it a breeze to drop off! I did think about the rental catching the eye and have been brain storming that a bit. We may just end up storing attachments and trailers inside. And maybe some of the smaller equipmemt as we get it! I also need to build a better digital presence for my equipment rentals and junk removal. Because dumpsters brings in 99% of my online traffic.

[@JB-cy7ey]

Maybe put a two post lift in there and rent it to a diesel mechanic. Sure would be handy when you need one.

[@rollingops]

Yea, I have a couple buddies begging for that! Haha

[@ontariodrone379]

Soooo many possibilities!

[@rollingops]

It's hard to decide!

[@ontariodrone379]

@@rollingops I was going to suggest dividing one side up into storage lockers but you have that whole new building your putting up for that.

[@rollingops]

@ontariodrone379 yea, I plan to use that whole field before I go trying temp controlled storage!

[@jonathanrighetti5897]

have you looked into selling golf carts? I believe you can get them cheap when they come off lease with golf courses , might be a nice little business? your rental business could use a platform lift? dont mind me just talking out loud

[@rollingops]

We actually have 2 majooor golf cart places in town. They burn and turn them like crazy. I have a decent relationship with both owners, I've always liked the idea, but I think I'd hate myself if I got in their line of business. If that makes sense?

[@MAXCODumpsters]

Your wife must love how many irons you keep in the fire. 😂

[@rollingops]

My wife has a love hate with my business...well and me 😄. But she realizes that's just who I am. Very supportive, but I definitely keep her on her toes.

[@jmar46C]

So are you renting out the containers? If so how are you moving them from location to location?

[@rollingops]

Yep! Take a look at this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/rajNh52YoNOAqqs

[@markchristensen5206]

Have you considered putting large doors along the long side of the building

[@rollingops]

One side is pinched by another properties building. The other side we do plan to replace with nice large thick windows though!

[@markchristensen5206]

Always check the hood before you start it. You'll find out why sooner than later

[@rollingops]

Oh yea?

[@markchristensen5206]

@rollingops those older model trucks are famous for their hoods to become unlatched, and fly up blocking your view, been there done that

[@rollingops]

@markchristensen5206 well thank ya, ill be adding a tie down now haha. I don't have time for that bs

[@trymerckremodelingrepair4554]

If renting it is still a option . I would speak to the county or some other municipal .

[@rollingops]

If the right group wanted to use the space, Im Always open to talk! And that's the nice thing, a lot of my equipment could be placed outdoors if I need to just make a covered parking space

[@donnyC7455]

Not a good idea with the equipment attachments too much precious space taken either store the equipment attachments on top of the shipping containers or get large, heavy duty shelving to put inside the building

[@rollingops]

We definitely plan on building a rack. We won't have a choice. You're right too much floor space

[@lonestarcollectiblezcom2602]

Hey Clayton, enjoyed the video, when are you revealing Trevor's role in Rolling Operations going forward, you foreshadowed it sometime back and we're probably all curious! Do you put tracking devices on your storage containers, because the one with just Maersk on it seems like that could disappear and how in the world would you ever find it? Also, how often do you check on your gear when it is spread out around town, dumpsters/tractors/storage containers etc? Thanks, Brian

[@rollingops]

In my last video! I was just revealing what he was up to himself! I actually don't using tracking devices on them. But maybe should consider it

[@rollingops]

I check on my stuff around town pretty regularly. Everything here is set up like a grid with a main drag through the center of town. So I tend to drive by everything I own every day. Kind of ideal

[@csfilms5495]

Could store campers o cars in the building

[@rollingops]

We've talked about getting a few large campers or RVs I'm here, because apparently people spend dumb money to store luxury RVs indoors

[@lonestarcollectiblezcom2602]

@@rollingops Some of those folks will spend several hundred a month on the RV/Campers, so you could really make some $$$ to invest back into other areas, like more Kubota's! lol, Great video, keep hustling sir, you're doing some amazing things! I'd like to be your first franchise and open up a Rolling Operations here in Texas, give me a shout if you'd like to discuss it further, you have my number! Thanks, Brian

[@jeffpulkrabek6018]

Your going to want that material to go around your new slab once the forms are removed aren't you?

[@rollingops]

Yes but we're going to bring in better stuff for that!

[@adanr150]

Why did you choose cab over open?

[@rollingops]

Winters around here can see brutal Temps. And I figured I'd push snow on some of my properties. Figured it was a no Brainer. After this week, I can tell you it was the right call for me

[@colbyleith7297]

Hey man did you say you were put of Quincy?

[@rollingops]

That's primarily the area I serve and where I live. But my shops in Liberty IL

[@colbyleith7297]

Nice. Im not too far away in Lincoln. We actually have the same excavator. I own/operate a plumbing business and after a few years just moved into a nicely renovated shop we bought last summer. Its cool to watch someone else doing a lot of the same stuff I do!

[@markchristensen5206]

Don't know what you got, till you don't got it

[@rollingops]

Could disappear in an instant too!

[@88chrisbrown]

100% truck and trailer booth buy paint sell $$$$$$$

[@rollingops]

We will likely use that side to paint the dump truck too!

[@88chrisbrown]

​@@rollingopsI defo need to see that but would also give you the chance to have perfectly painted bins too would help promote the business even further 👍👍
