≈ 3 tennis courts
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter Warehouse Length and Width (ft) — the interior clear dimensions of your facility.
- Set Aisle Width (ft): 8-10 ft for reach trucks, 12 ft or more for counterbalance forklifts.
- Input Rack Depth (ft) — typically 4 ft for standard 48-inch deep pallets.
- Review Number of Aisles and Rack Rows to understand the layout configuration.
- Check Storage Area (sq ft) to see how much of your building floor is actually used for product storage.
- Use the space utilization chart to compare storage, aisle, and unused areas and adjust aisle width or rack depth to maximize storage density.
How the result changes with Warehouse Width
| Warehouse Width | Rack Rows | Storage Area |
|---|---|---|
| 118 | 12 | 9,024 sq ft |
| 363 | 40 | 30,080 sq ft |
| 657 | 72 | 54,144 sq ft |
| 902 | 100 | 75,200 sq ft |
What each input means
- Warehouse Length
- Interior length of the warehouse in feet.
- Warehouse Width
- Interior width of the warehouse in feet.
- Aisle Width
- Width between rack rows — 8-10ft for reach trucks, 12ft+ for forklifts.
- Rack Depth
- Depth of each pallet rack from front to back (typically 4ft for standard pallets).
