Make a plan to minimize lost storage locations. The images below are overhead views.

As often as practical, bury columns between back-to-back storage locations.

Tips for Minimizing Lost Space or Storage

As needed, allow columns to pierce storage locations. Where possible, keep the obstruction to the outer end of a location to minimize lost storage.

Building columns shown embedded in the racking. The columns are allowed to pierce upward through the rack system.

Often, a column might land in a pick aisle or travel aisle. Expect the need to shift storage rows to allow for an occasional wide aisle.

A building column is shown in a travel aisle of a storage system. The column is placed adjacent to the racking to allow for safer travel.
