Floor storage

Floor storage, also known as ground storage, is a storage method in which pallets or individual parts are stored directly on the floor, as opposed to rack storage, in which racks are used for storage. This type of storage is particularly suitable for large, heavy or bulky goods, such as large machine parts or building components.

The main advantage of floor storage is its simplicity and flexibility. No shelving or special storage structures are required, which simplifies the setup and management of the warehouse. In addition, floor storage offers a high load capacity and stability, as the load rests directly on the floor.

Another advantage of floor storage is the easy accessibility of the stored goods. As the goods are placed directly on the floor, they can be easily moved and picked using forklift trucks, pallet trucks or other industrial trucks.

Floor storage is used in various industries, including the construction industry, the automotive industry, the logistics industry and the manufacturing industry. It is particularly suitable for warehouses where large quantities of bulky or heavy goods need to be stored.

Although floor storage has its advantages, there are also some disadvantages, such as lower space utilization compared to rack storage and increased susceptibility to soiling and damage to goods.

Overall, floor storage is an efficient and cost-effective solution for storing large and heavy goods. With the right planning and organization, companies can take full advantage of floor storage and optimally manage their stock levels.
