Results
- Pallet positions
- 5,500 pallets
- Floor positions
- 1,100 pallets
- Usable storage area
- 1,320 m²
Formula
Usable area = L × W × usable %
Floor positions = ⌊Usable area ÷ pallet footprint⌋
Positions = Floor positions × levels
Assumptions & limits
- Usable share is typically 45–60% with wide aisles, 60–70% with narrow aisles.
- Rack clearances and beam depths are folded into the usable %.
Worked example
2400 × 0.55 = 1320 m² ÷ 1.2 = 1100 × 5 = 5,500 positions.
