Storage Warehouse – ColdDescription
Code 8291 applies to employers engaged in operating cold storage warehouses for other concerns that require storage space with refrigeration services. These cold storage firms have no equity in the products they store. This classification contemplates the maintenance of the warehouse and its equipment, and the receiving, safekeeping and the releasing of the products for shipment.
This classification includes incidental repackaging. It does not include sorting, grading or delivering the products, which are generally taken to and from the warehouse by common carrier, or by the concerns that own the products.
