Layout & design
Warehouse layout and storage design
Every layout trades density against selectivity and throughput. We draw two or three options with real pallet-position counts so you can choose with numbers instead of intuition.
Deliverables
What you receive
Dimensioned layout
Rack runs, aisle widths, cross aisles, staging, and dock area drawn to your building's actual column grid.
Pallet position count
Positions per option, so a denser layout's real gain is visible before you commit.
Bill of materials
Frames, beams, decking, hardware, and protection quantified per option and priced separately.
Clearance check
Sprinkler, lighting, and egress clearances reviewed so nothing needs relocating after install.
Equipment fit
Aisle widths validated against your existing lifts — or the lift class you'd need to buy.
Phasing plan
Where budget is staged, an install order that keeps the operation running throughout.
Trade-offs
Aisle width drives everything
Narrowing aisles adds pallet positions but changes the lift equipment you can run. These are typical starting points we validate against your fleet.
| Counterbalance forklift | Roughly 12 to 13 ft aisles |
|---|---|
| Reach truck | Roughly 8 to 10 ft aisles |
| Deep-reach truck | Required for double-deep racking |
| Very narrow aisle | Guided or wire-guided equipment only |
| Cross aisles | Sized for egress and travel distance |
| Staging depth | Sized to daily inbound/outbound volume |
