About This Calculator
The Warehouse Floor Area Calculator helps you determine the exact space requirements for your warehouse operations. Whether you’re planning a new facility or optimizing an existing one, this tool provides accurate estimates based on your specific needs.
How It Works
Our calculator considers multiple factors that influence warehouse space requirements:
- Pallet storage needs (quantity and dimensions)
- Rack configuration (height, beam length, flue space)
- Aisle requirements (width, intersecting aisles)
- Support areas (docks, staging, office space)
Standard Dimensions
| Item | Standard Dimension | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Standard US Pallet | 48″ × 40″ | 13.33 sq ft footprint |
| Euro Pallet | 120cm × 80cm (47.2″ × 31.5″) | 10.33 sq ft footprint |
| Standard Reach Truck Aisle | 108″ (9 ft) | Most common in warehouses |
| Standard Beam Length | 96″, 108″, 144″ | Determines pallets per bay |
| Standard Flue Space | 6″ | Between back-to-back racks |
Tips for Efficient Warehouse Layout
- Maximize vertical space by using taller racking when possible
- Consider narrow aisle equipment to reduce aisle width requirements
- Include adequate staging areas near dock doors
- Plan for growth by adding a buffer to your calculated space
- Ensure adequate flue space for fire safety compliance
