5 Proven Ways to Maximise Warehouse Space with Vertical Storage

Most warehouses are running out of floor long before they run out of height. Here are five ways to use the space above you.

1. Go taller with the right racking

Engineered uprights let you store safely up to 6 m and beyond. The cube gain is dramatic and the cost per pallet position drops.

2. Add a mezzanine floor

A steel mezzanine can double or triple usable area with no civil work — and it is fully demountable.

3. Compact your archives

Mobile compactor systems recover up to 50% of the floor lost to fixed aisles.

4. Right-size every level

Adjustable beams mean you can match shelf pitch exactly to your product, eliminating dead air between levels.

5. Standardise and label

A clean slotting and labelling scheme makes a tall warehouse fast as well as dense.
