There are many types of warehouse shelves, and their height is closely related to the storage capacity. Especially when the available height in the warehouse is high, enterprises will want to customize high-position shelves to fully utilize the space and achieve a larger storage capacity, saving operating costs.

There are many types of shelves for forklifts to store goods. How high can their height be designed? Besides considering the available height of the space, it also depends on the height that the forklift can lift. Common types of storage high-position shelves for forklifts include pallet shelves, double-depth shelves, gravity shelves, and drive-in shelves. The total height is generally within 10 meters, as the maximum lift height of most types of forklifts is within 10 meters.

If the height of 10 meters is not enough, a narrow aisle shelf system can be considered. The total height of the narrow aisle shelf can be designed up to 15 meters, which is the highest designable type among the storage high-position shelves for forklifts. Of course, the maximum lift height of ordinary forklifts is not that high, and the forklift aisle cannot be designed too narrow either. Therefore, narrow aisle forklifts are needed for storage. It only requires a forklift aisle of about 1.6 meters, and the lift height can reach up to 15 meters, with dense storage and super large capacity.
