Warehouse premises to let in Bristol look at 4 ways to maximise space

Maximising Warehouse space to let in Avonmouth

1. The first method is to install a mezzanine floor, which could double the pallet holding. However, they are expensive for purely storage capabilities but cost effective on a square footage, providing you have enough height in the building to take the floor a level up.

2. The second is to block stack your pallets. Health and safety are strict on this method of storage so you have to be extremely careful in stacking, using square and topped pallets, so that you can stack three high. But, again, the down side is retrieval, as inevitably the pallet you will want will always be buried at the bottom of a stack, and you will need to move all the pallets out of the way to gain access.

3. The third method depends on the type of stock being held. For multi-pallet same stock items you can use either double deep or push-back systems. However, this means the use of specialist pallet racking and, dependent upon the site, a counterbalance fork lift truck.  This method is very effective and used by the supermarket suppliers, whose profile is ideal for this type of system.

4. The fourth method would be a narrow aisle operation, which could operate in under 2m, with a very narrow aisle operation 1.5m. This would effectively reduce the aisle widths from 3m (normal standard aisle using a counterbalance vehicle or reach truck to 1.5m, and, dependent upon the size of the warehouse, you could maximise the space for storage quite easily.
