Insights
Answers to the questions our customers ask most: warehouse planning, choosing racking, load capacity, safety and maintenance.
How wide should a forklift aisle be?
As a guide: a counterbalance forklift needs about 3.2–4.0 m, a reach truck about 2.6–3.1 m and a very narrow aisle truck about 1.6–2.0 m. The exact width comes from the truck manufacturer for your pallet.
How does a racking project work, from survey to installation?
A racking project has six stages: enquiry with basic data, site survey, design with load calculation and quote, manufacturing, installation and handover, and regular service.
How should you lay out racking for a faster flow of goods?
Arrange racking so goods-in, storage, picking and dispatch follow one direction without crossing, place fast movers near dispatch, and size aisles to the forklift you use.
What information do you need for a racking quote?
A racking quote needs the floor dimensions and clear height, the unit load size and weight, the number of positions required, the forklift type, and a drawing or photos of the building.
Send us your floor dimensions. We will propose a solution.
The basics are enough: floor dimensions and clear height, type of goods and approximate weight. A drawing or photo helps even more.
