Storage Predicament
Most business owners we converse with have, at one time or another, been faced with diminished storage space. That has been especially true when their businesses are growing and the current space has been viewed as not fit for purpose.
Many company owners consider installing warehouse shelving but find the main problem they face is not having a lot of that extra square footage required. There are plenty of options still open in this scenario, presenting great ways to utilise that awkward space whilst boosting your productivity.
Maximising your pallet racking options is crucial when you operate a busy warehouse. Accessibility needs to be a key consideration with either steps or forklift operation for easy handling.
Attention to the Basics
Awkward spaces require even more attention to the basics such as size and shape, as well as weight classifications for shipping purposes. These need to be high in consideration in storing valuable packages or machinery in confined areas that do not offer much in the way of the leftover room after construction.
In pallet racking, you need space and stability for it to be effective. The weight can make storage difficult without good design features from an engineering perspective. The best way around this problem is to employ innovative shelving systems that combine strength and maximum shelf area for a minimum footprint.
Some shelving can be installed in narrow spaces, as well as more vertical storage options. These shelving options allow for better mixing and matching to create different solutions for awkward spaces.
Health and Safety First
When creating commercial shelving or pallet racking systems for those awkward spaces, you will need to put extra emphasis on the health and safety of employees.
The storage layout needs to meet rigorous warehouse standards, rules and regulations. You cannot just have any system built without adhering to the guidelines – make sure that you engage with a professional in warehouse storage equipment that protects you from fault.
