Pallet rack layout — aisle widths (fictional)

Pallet rack: the truck decides the aisle

Pallet rack: the truck decides the aisle

This drawing comes from one YAML file. No shape was moved by hand.

Notes in the source (in Japanese)

The truck decides the aisle, and the aisle decides the building.

Aisle width is not a preference: head length + load length + about 12 in tomanoeuvre (right-angle stacking). The overhang is not added again, becauseaisles and flues are measured betweenloads, not between uprights —— with 3 in of overhang front and back, theuprights of a back-to-back pair stand 12 in apart to leave a 6 in flue. Narrow it and you gain pallet positionsper square foot —— and you pay for a more expensive truck.
