SHELVING & STORAGE

Make room for the way your operation works

Plan storage around the items on hand, how often teams retrieve them, and the floor area available. Compare shelving, bins, and workspace storage with practical guides for warehouse planning.

Compare storage approaches

Use the inventory, picking pattern, and space available as a starting point; product specifications and the site layout determine what will fit.

Storage approach	Useful for planning	Confirm before selection
Open shelving	Items that teams need to locate and retrieve frequently	Dimensions, shelf configuration, assembly, and manufacturer specifications.
Bins and compartmented units	Organizing small parts or separating assorted items	Container dimensions, access, labeling, and compatibility with the storage unit.
Cabinets and lockers	Keeping selected items contained or assigned to users	Clearances, access needs, installation conditions, and intended contents.
Pallet rack systems	Organizing palletized inventory within a planned layout	The manufacturer's complete system and site-specific review by qualified personnel.

Choose storage by inventory type

Match the storage format to the items, access frequency, and arrangement you are planning.

Group related inventory, leave room for the intended retrieval method, and compare published product details before arranging a work area. →

Estimate the shelf count and approximate number of bays from your own inventory assumptions.

Planning tool 01

Estimate shelf quantities

Enter your facility assumptions to create an estimate.

Planning estimate only—not a load rating, engineering recommendation, PPE certification, or compliance determination. Confirm product specifications and applicable requirements with a qualified professional.

Enter the total number of bays and planned row count. The estimate divides the total bays across rows, rounds up to a whole bay per row, and includes one aisle-width strip per row in a conservative rectangular footprint.
