I have 'furniture storage' for Möbellager and 'interim storage' for Zwischenlager. I'm stuck on Abruflager - should it be something with 'call-off'? Thanks for any help.

on-call storage

Where they hold stock for instant call-off by their distributors/customers. For "JIT" delivery
Peer comment(s):

neutral TonyTK : Wouldn't "on-call storage" be a facility you can take advantage of to store goods at short notice?

is the same as a call-off warehouse. The choice as always is yours....
