How to Efficiently Stack Wide Loads in Narrow Aisles

17 Oct.,2023

 

Whether you’re handling bundles of lumber, steel rods, rolls of carpet, or any other type of wide load, you’ll likely find yourself struggling to find ways to maneuver and store them using traditional material handling equipment efficiently. Most forklifts can only travel forks first or forks trailing, which means your aisles must be at least as wide as the forklift or the load being transported (whichever is widest) to operate in them. Typically, they must be even wider when right-angle stacking, which requires additional room for maneuverability.

 

As your aisle width increases, your available storage space in a given footprint decreases, resulting in less than ideal storage density and space utilization. Additional warehousing space to accommodate for these wider aisles is expensive and results in other inefficiencies such as lost time spent traveling from pick to pick.
