Planning before purchase

Plan cold-room capacity and steel pallet count

Before requesting pallets, review floor positions, stack levels, aisle width, forklift turning space, and site constraints.

Plan the space before buying pallets Pallet count depends on movement constraints, not length and width alone.

Capacity planning

What controls pallet count inside the cold room

Final count is affected by forklift aisles, entry direction, columns, doors, refrigeration units, and airflow clearance.

01

Usable storage area

The full floor is not storage; aisles, turning points, and loading areas are deducted.

02

Clear height

Stack levels depend on available height after top clearance and equipment.

03

Forklift movement

Aisle width and forklift type shape row distribution and pallet entry.

04

Site constraints

Columns, doors, pipes, and cooling units change a theoretical count.

Starting data

What to send for faster review

You do not need a full engineering drawing at first. Send room dimensions, photos or a simple sketch, product type, and handling method.

01

Room dimensions

Width, length, clear height, door width, and entry location.

02

Required aisles

Suggested aisle count or the aisle width required by your forklift.

03

Product type

Packaging, approximate weight, and stacking method on the pallet.

04

Finish preference

If moisture or repeated cleaning matters, review galvanized or electrostatic options.

Next step

Use the calculator, then send the result or layout with your quote request.

We can review count, size, and finish according to your site and handling method.
