Making the most out of the space you have
/In these uncertain times the thought of moving or spending an extortionate amount of money is probably out of the question – so why not look into another solution… optimising and utilising the space you currently have.
You may think looking at your warehouse storage that nothing can be done, but there is always something that can be moved, optimised or used differently to help achieve extra storage space.
Below are a few options that you may want to think about:
Appropriate use of racking
Ensure that you are utilising all of your pallet space within your pallet racking. To maximise your storage capacity you will need to run a series of checks on your current space:
- Are the existing beam levels at the correct pitch?
- Can the existing racking be extended higher to achieve more beam levels?
- Are the right sized pallets being used in the suitable bay of racking?
Rethink your warehouse layout
When your existing warehouse was originally designed there may not have been much time spent on thinking through future expansion options - which may be why many are struggling with storage issues at present. If you feel as though your warehouse storage space is dwindling or at full capacity already then you may want to consider a new layout. This will take a fair amount of time to plan so it is best to consider doing so when you are expecting a quiet period. If you do not have the luxury of time however Pegasus Storage can do this for you.
Mezzanine Floor
Utilising your vertical space is a viable option that is frequently overlooked. Installing a Mezzanine Floor has many benefits from storing smaller products you may have to creating additional office space for your employees.
