Pallets storage can be the backbone of a warehouse and industrial unit. How efficiently your pallets are stored and how easy (and quickly) you can access products can often make the difference between profit and loss.

1. Think about the size of your products and pallets to be stored

The first thing to consider when it comes to pallet storage is the size of the products and pallets that you want to store and the most efficient manner in which to store them. This will obviously differ from business to business, depending on the respective needs of your company.

Keep your most popular products closest to the door or loading bay— this will help to improve the efficiency of your workforce and speed up processes. Think about overhang and pallet height and try to store similarly-sized items together.

2. Consider the area you have available for storage

Next, it makes sense to think about the area that you have available in which to store your pallets. Don’t base the design of your storage area on your lifting equipment— instead base it on the overall design and layout of your warehouse.

3. Think about how you’d retrieve your pallets

How you retrieve your pallets will depend on the type of equipment that you plan on using in your warehouse space.

To an extent, the limits of your space will define what type of lifting equipment you choose to access and retrieve your products. Think carefully about the demands and limitations of your space— such as minimum and maximum access sizes.
