Create the Perfect Aisle Layout for Your Wire Shelving

Wire shelving is not ideal for all applications; however, there are many advantages to utilizing this storage system whenever possible. For example, it has a high strength-to-weight ratio, which makes it suitable for storing bulk materials of various sizes and weights. Plus, it is easier than most other types of shelving to rearrange. However, constantly moving your wire shelving to determine the ideal layout can drain productivity. It’s a much better idea to consider your aisle design before installing your shelves.

If you’re using wire shelving as supplemental storage for small bulk materials, you may find it’s best to arrange them separately from your primary storage racks so they don’t interfere with your workflow. However, if wire shelving is your primary storage system, than you should consider the fishbone aisle design. By creating interlocking, diagonal aisles, you may not only increase floorplan efficiency, but you’ll also make it easier for employees to move between locations in your warehouse.
