When warehouse floor space is limited,using the available vertical space can be an effective way to increase storage capacity.High bay warehouse racking helps businesses store more pallets without expanding the warehouse footprint.
However,building higher does not automatically mean better storage efficiency.Several factors need to be considered before choosing a system.
Check the Available Warehouse Height
Start by measuring the actual usable height,not just the total building height.
Roof structures,lighting,sprinklers and other overhead equipment may limit the available storage space.Pallet height and the required operating clearance must also be considered when determining rack levels.
Choose the Right Forklift and Aisle Width
Forklift equipment directly affects the racking layout.
Standard forklifts generally require wider aisles,while reach trucks and very narrow aisle(VNA)trucks can operate in narrower spaces under suitable conditions.
Choosing the right combination of racking and handling equipment can help increase the number of pallet positions without compromising daily operations.
When Should You Consider Automation?
For warehouses with high storage requirements and frequent pallet movements,automated solutions may be worth considering.
Options include:
Very Narrow Aisle(VNA)Racking
Four Way Shuttle Racking
Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems(AS/RS)
The best choice depends on warehouse size,pallet throughput and investment requirements.
What Information Is Needed for a High Bay Racking Design?
Before requesting a quotation,prepare your warehouse dimensions,clear height,pallet size,load weight,required storage capacity and forklift specifications.
These details help a racking manufacturer evaluate the available space and recommend a suitable storage layout.
