Safe Forklift Storage: Protect Your Assets & Maximize Space
Proper storage of forklift trucks within a warehouse environment is crucial for maximizing equipment lifespan and operational efficiency. Warehouse storage offers a secure and organized solution, providing protected access from the elements, safeguarding forklifts from dust, debris, and potential weather exposure. Selecting the appropriate racking system – such as pallet racking or cantilever racking – is key; ensure systems are designed to accommodate forklift dimensions and allow for easy maneuverability. Regular inspection and maintenance are simplified with organized storage, enabling quick identification of issues. Consider aisle widths to accommodate forklift turning radius and operation. Strategic placement, prioritizing high-demand models and frequently used units closer to loading docks, streamlines workflow. Dedicated storage minimizes the risk of accidental damage and ensures a readily available fleet. Proper racking systems contribute to improved space utilization, maximizing warehouse capacity. A well-organized forklift storage solution significantly boosts operational productivity and contributes to a safer, more efficient warehouse operation.
Storage Size/Dimensions: Minimum 150 square feet or a 12ft x 12ft area is recommended. Height clearance should be a minimum of 14 feet to accommodate forklift operation and equipment movement.
Storage Conditions: The area must be dry and well-ventilated. Ensure the floor is level and capable of supporting the weight of the forklifts and stored items. Avoid storing forklifts directly on concrete, utilizing a protective mat is advised.
Special Handling: Forklifts are heavy machinery. Store them on a stable surface. Consider using protective padding on the forks and chassis to prevent scratches or damage to surrounding items. Pallet storage is ideal to protect the forklift’s components.
Stacking/Shelving: Pallet storage is the most practical solution. Utilize standard-sized pallets (48” x 36”) for efficient stacking. Shelving is not generally required but could be incorporated for accessories and small parts. Max stack height should be limited to 8 feet.
Access Requirements: A loading dock with a minimum width of 12 feet is necessary. The door should be at least 10 feet wide to allow for forklift entry and exit. A clear aisle space of 10 feet should be maintained for operational movement. Ensure the loading dock surface is durable and capable of handling forklift traffic.
