Is
your warehouse suffering from growing pains? Company growth
is certainly a double-edged sword. The extra business is great,
but then you have to figure out how your warehouse will handle
the masses of incoming and outgoing merchandise. Sometimes,
instead of buying or renting more warehouse space, you can
improve your pallet rack system and
other equipment. Here are some common signs of an overloaded
warehouse:
-
More than 80 percent of your warehouse is full at all times.
-
You can’t purchase new equipment because there’s
no room for it.
-
When you are completely stocked up on inventory, there are
no empty storage areas left.
-
You see inventory and other clutter on the floor.
-
Employees are having trouble doing their jobs because of
a lack of space.
-
You notice low morale and increased employee turnover.
-
Your products are damaged during loading and unloading.
-
Your pallet rack is being damaged more frequently by forklifts
because there’s less space to maneuver.
-
There are more errors in shipping and shipping takes more
time.
-
There’s frequently a line of trucks waiting to unload
at your dock.
-
You have to move something before you can reach what you
want on pallet racks.
-
Merchandise is difficult to find.
The good news is, storage density can be increased substantially
by using a different style of pallet rack and investing in
other warehouse equipment like conveyors. Please call Ace
