Arranging Used Lumber Rack Systems to Increase Safety in Your Warehouse

Used Lumber Rack | Forklift Safety PrecautionsIf you utilize used lumber rack systems for storage, there are a number of reasons it is important to carefully consider the layout of your warehouse. First and foremost, a poorly planned layout can lead to unsafe working conditions. If, for example, your aisles are too narrow, it may be difficult for forklift operators to maneuver without bumping into racks with potentially hazardous consequences.

Choosing the correct rack layout for your warehouse depends on a number of factors, such as the size of the space and the type of materials you are storing. However, many businesses find that the fishbone aisle design, which involves arranging racks with diagonal aisles, is an excellent solution. Not only does this design provide forklift operators with plenty of room to maneuver, but it also makes put-away and distribution efforts easier and more efficient.
