A warehouse is a commercial building for storage of goods. Warehouses are used by manufacturers, importers, exporters, wholesalers, transporters, customs, etc. They are usually large plain buildings in industrial parts of towns. They come equipped with loading docks to load and unload trucks, or sometimes by railways, airports, or seaports. They also often have cranes and forklifts for moving goods. Vacant warehouses were an often used location in the late 1980s and early 1990's for illegal raves
