WARE HOUSE DESIGN
Layout of warehouse is determined by
Pallet placement
The space layout for storage of material is largely dependent upon the size of pallet
needed and their positioning or placement . Standard size of pallets are used whose sizes
40''x48 '' and 32''x48''
Aisle width
Generally the requirement of aisle width vary with the size of material handling
equipment and quantity of material moved . Normally aisle are designed to provide two
way traffic also taking into consideration of turning of the forklifts . Narrow width forklifts are
now available in market which have reduced width requirement for movement .
Racking system
Space utilisation of warehouse can be enhanced by usage of racking system . These
racking system are generally used for light material which can be stacked on pallets and
can be lifted by forklift and can stack these pallets on the racking system . Racking system
can be of different heights depending on material handling equipment height . These
could be 2- 3 rack height ( approx -4-5 mtr )
Pallets are directly stacked on these racks and are directly unloaded or loaded for next
operation which then save times . Composition of racks are termed as 9x5 or 10x5 .
These racking system has advantages like it can be dismantled and erected in very less
time , as these have frames which are folding in nature and fastened as members .Back
