They are durable and can withstand heavy amounts of weight. Thus, this makes it a suitable and sustainable solution for companies.

The picture above is an example of how one can maximise their storage space by installing an additional mezzanine level and combining it with shelving units.

Reasons Why Your Enterprise Needs It

Many companies in Singapore are restricted to small spaces that do not quite cater to their needs. With the limited area that companies must work with, every available space is critical.

It is possible to make use of every inch of space in an economic way. This can be done by installing an integrated system using the additional platform and combining it with the racking system. This will then help to provide suitable and customized storage solutions for your organization.

Benefits and Disadvantages of a Mezzanine

One of the main advantages of installing a racking system would be having vast amounts of storage space, which can be used to better accommodate your company's operations.

Another advantage of the racking system would be the simple installation and deconstruction of the mezzanine. As these systems are generally free-standing structures, there is no need for the platform level to be mounted onto the walls. This will then ensure a smooth assembling and dismantling process.

The mezzanine platform provides your company with a safer alternative to store, organize, and pack goods. With the use of pre-installed staircases and the option of including an additional walkway for pedestrian access, this solution would make operations more efficient and reliable.

One of the drawbacks of installing a platform would be the cost of investing in one. Although these model types are meant to last in the long run, the initial amount that an organization would have to pay in advance is an issue that discourages most companies from adopting this mezzanine system.

However, there are many government grants available that can be used to help fulfil your wish of adopting a platform level in your company.

These 4 available schemes include the Productivity and Innovation Credit Scheme (PIC), the Innovation and Capability Voucher (ICV), the Capability Development Grant (CDG), and WorkPro.

These schemes allow grants to be given out to a wide range of companies and many small and medium enterprises can definitely gain access to the generous grants provided by the government.

A warehouse runs out of space because of seasonal peaks, rapid growth, large discount buying, slow sales period, facility consolidation, or because of manufacturing shutdowns.

A warehouse owner experiences challenges in optimizing and managing inventory in less space. Due to this, they shift their storage into a new warehouse space, and it costs you more.

Well, here in this article, we will be discussing some reasons for warehouse space problems and how you can solve those issues.

Ways To Increase Warehouse Space

You might be wondering how to solve warehouse space problems on your own? Well, we have some tips for you. Check it out!

1. Choose the Suitable Shelving System

To create or free up more storage space, you have to choose the right type of shelving system for your warehouse. There are many types of shelving systems for warehouses. We have mentioned some of them below.

A. Carton Flow Racks

This rack is best for first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory processes. It has slanted panels that push old inventory so you can sell old products first.

B. Cantilever Racks

A cantilever racking system is best for long inventory such as; steel trusses, piping, or lumber. The racks consist of protruding arms at the place where inventory can be placed.

C. Pallet Racks

Pallet racks are the best choice for warehouses. They are strong, have high loading capacity, and have a long life.

2. Analyzing space in a warehouse

Check out the space in your storage facility and identify non-usable shelves or racks in the warehouse. Removing unwanted racks will help you to free up some space. Moreover, you may find unused space in departments where shipping and packing and tasks are performed.

3. Use vertical space

Check if you are using all vertical space of shelving systems in your warehouse. You can take advantage of heightened racks in the storage facility. Identify how many feet of vertical space is unused? Also, make sure to know whether your design impacts your fire code and sprinkler layout or not.

4. Warehouse space planning

It includes planning about materials flow, ways to make free space, smooth working in a facility, and increasing efficiency. Furthermore, warehouse space planning is termed as a strategically planned storage layout made by designers or other professionals. It helps to create more space in a warehouse or a storage facility.

5. Add mezzanine floor

The best way to maximize the warehouse area is by adding a mezzanine above the floor level. Implementing this will double the floor space of a storage. Also, you will be able to distribute the product's load. The mezzanine floor has base plates or columns which support the weight of the floor.

6. Changing storage medium

One more way to expand space is to change the storage medium to high-density equipment. You can move from a single-deep racking system to a double-deep racking system. These systems are best for adding more space to your warehouse.

7. Decrease racking area's aisle width

You can save 15% to 20% of the area by reducing aisle width. If the aisle is from 10 feet to 12 feet wide, it can be decreased to anywhere from 5 feet to 8 feet. It will help you to save a good area. When you consider it, lift equipment could be evaluated. Check whether the equipment is capable of working or following in the narrow aisles.

8. Reassess depth of a warehouse

Increasing the height of a storage system helps evaluate the depth of the pallet racking system. Increasing the depth of a storage system will significantly boost your storage density and add stability to heightened structures.

9. Optimizing inventory

You might have seen many companies never stop the overstocking of items in their warehouse without customer demand. However, it covers a lot of space because the more you do overstock, the more space you will need. Many times products start overlapping, which reduces the efficiency of your warehouse.

10. Right size containers

Consistency is very important for higher productivity in a warehouse. On the other side, adjusting the product as per their sizes on inventory will help you free up the space in the warehouse.
You need to use flexible storage solutions and different shaped containers for the right sizing. Therefore, the products will not consume an excessive amount of space in your storage.Usually, bulky or odd-shaped products consume more space on a rack. So try to fit those products in a container.

Some Common Warehouse Space Problems
Mostly there are three kinds of space problems that occur in a warehouse.

It is a result of putting the wrong merchandise.

Using the existing warehouse space in an inappropriate manner.

Too much inventory in the warehouse

If there is any available area, then something will fill it eventually. This saying is perfect for warehouses. Even at the slow working period, the storage gets full.
Now let's have a look over some major reasons for warehouse space issues.

1. Too Much of the Right Product

Well, the warehouse full of the right products seems great in terms of order fulfillment and client service goals. Also, the sales staff thinks a warehouse full of products is a great sign for making your customers happy and 100% satisfied. However, too much product in the warehouse blocks the visibility of workers.

The visibility issues might create safety hazards, decreased labor productivity, multiple handlings of items, and lack of ease in locating inventory. If the products don't move quickly, it means space problems will exist.

2. Poor space utilization

Generally, poor utilization issues occur when service requirements increase, growth increases, and storage requirements change. Poor utilization of space is the most common occurrence, which promotes a running out of warehouse space.

Do you know that traditionally, warehouses are equipped and built for handling limited unit loads, projected volumes, and a number of items? However, warehouse owners expect the storage to adjust as per the demand of clients.

The customization in traditional warehouses needs floor space which causes a shortage of space issues. Some of the other poor space utilization includes;

Many items in one bin

Aisles more than 9 feet

Utilizing low vertical space

These kinds of issues need to be addressed with workstation design changes and physical layout.

3. Wrong products in warehouse

You might have seen that sometimes a warehouse is full of unwanted, expired, or wrong products that cause storage problems. It causes the space shortage issue in a warehouse. So, pull out the wrong products from storage and free up some area.

Conclusion

If you don't want to run out of space, warehouse space planning is crucial. A warehouse owner can initiate to free up space by planning to add equipment and other things to the empty place.

We hope this guide is helpful for you to solve the space issues in a warehouse. If so, share your reviews with us.

A warehouse needs high-quality and maintained racking systems for smooth and efficient operations. You need to choose the right rack for your storage facility or warehouse.

Furthermore, sometimes the warehouse racking system experiences some critical problems. It could be damaged, have problems in lifting heavy loads, safety issues, and so on. A warehouse owner needs to identify the racks' problem.

We understand it's not easy to find what things are troubling your work in a warehouse. So, we have listed the top 9 major issues that need to identify in your warehouse racks.

Key Problems In Warehouse Racking

Changing any components

It's risky if you do any reconfigurations in your racks. A person has to be extremely careful while changing components or fixing new parts. You have to perform the adjustment and removal of beams consciously.

Make sure you don't hurt yourself while changing components. Furthermore, never rush to complete work faster because it causes many problems.

Handling Materials

Are you regularly in contact with warehouse racking equipment such as; dollies, forklifts, and cranes? If so, it could be dangerous. Why? Well, racks get affected by heavy load material, and it may damage many components.

If you put things inappropriately in the storage system, then this will be hazardous. The entire system's structural integrity or load-bearing capacity becomes weak and poses critical safety risks.

Overloading the racks

Every rack has a particular load capacity and limitation for weight-bearing. Hence, one must be very careful while putting goods on the shelf. But when you expand the load capacity, this weakens a system's structural integrity.

If a person places too much pressure over a rack, this might cause the collapse. And all this is a risk for the safety of employees. Furthermore, the safety inspectors will be responsible for examining the rack's maximum loading capacity. Also, overloading always has a higher risk of collapse.

Improper lighting

Warehouse owners often ignore the lighting, which is a safety hazard. The poor or improper lighting might misjudge workers regarding objects' shape, size, or position. That is why it causes major injuries or accidents on a job site. So, you need to fix the light and replace the old version of lighting to enhance productivity.

Right lighting installation in the warehouse racking can create a productive environment. It also makes sure that workers stay alert while working and reduces the error scope. Improper lighting or low visibility can easily damage the goods, resulting in business loss. Furthermore, lighting helps workers to find or read items with small labels.

No Row Spacing

One of the major challenges warehouse owners are facing is no row space. It means racks are placed back to back with no row space. It prevents workers from reaching a particular product with ease. And this eventually leads a worker to cause damage.

Unorganized warehouse space causes unnecessary labor costs and other problems. If there is no row spacing, you can't clean a particular area. However, an organized rack helps to add more strength to racks.

The proper racking can improve an area of a warehouse without any expenditure. It ensures and allows users to add more goods by using just a very little floor area. Moreover, you can double or triple the storage capacity of a warehouse.

Strut damage

If you find strut damage and see the broken horizontal, torn, or diagonal braces demonstrate a deflection in a plane around ½", it needs to be repaired. This may affect the structural integrity of a racking system. So be careful and don't delay in repairing it. A warehouse rackingsystem service provider can help you to fix strut damages.

Uneven load placing

Uneven load placing is one of the major reasons for rack damages. None of you likes to see the warehouse racking system fail to accomplish its task safely. And this is why you have to place items evenly in racks.

Usually, racks become less stable and non-flexible with overloading and improper items placed. If you put load evenly and make an ample space between racks, it decreases the overall capacity of any frame.

Moreover, we would suggest you train your workers before performing any task. Make them learn that if they put 20 kg on the left side, then balance the weight with 20 kgs on the other racks. Also, if the load-bearing capacity of the rack is 50 kg, you can expand it to 60 kgs or 70 kgs but never try to place 100 kg items on the rack.

Damaged beams

If you see any loose or damaged beams in your rack, then repair them immediately. It is one of the major causes of a notwithstanding racking system in a warehouse. Moreover, it has a great impact on the safety of a rack.

Well, a damaged beam makes a rack damaged, and it can fall over the workers in a warehouse. So, don't ignore the beams and take appropriate actions to provide safety to your employees.

Footplate or Anchor Damage

Footplate or anchor damage affects a warehouse racking system's operational safety and stability. That is why it puts the employees as well as your products at risk. For repairing these damages, you can connect with the racking system service providers. They can repair or fix these damages. However, if repairing doesn't work, then you need to buy a new rack.

Final Words

In the end, it's your choice to select the right rack for your storage or warehouse. Whatever you choose, pallet racking, selective racking, or other racking, make sure to check regularly for their maintenance. Furthermore, consider the above listed 9 points mainly to fix your warehouse racking problems in a timely manner.

So, these were the top safety problems that people neglect in their daily life. We hope you understand them well. Implementing them will save your employees from any mishaps or injuries in the warehouse.
