Warehouse Design – Make the Most of Your Warehouse "Cube"
Make the most of every square inch in your warehouse. Warehouse Systems is your full-service material handling and storage solution provider. We help you lay out, implement, and test your warehouse space front-to-back.
How much more efficient could you make your "cube" with fully-optimized layouts & equipment? Let's find out.
Professional Warehouse Design
Opening a new facility? Moving? Make the transition easier and safer.
We provide the necessary materials to equip the warehouse, and design the layout for maximum safe & productive use.
One call to Warehouse Systems and you get all 3 design advantages at once:
- Productive design & layout work
- Safety at every level
- Cost Savings from start to finish
Elements of a Productive Warehouse Design
Warehouse Layout:
Start with a visual. Visuals are critical to identify transport paths, maximum storage capacity, cold storage locations, entry/exit, charging locations, etc.
Our team uses state-of-the-art CAD software to map out the best possible layout in 3D.
Elements Warehouse Systems Considers:
- Rack / storage capacity
- Navigation for people & equipment
- Goods conveyance
- Charging for electric forklifts & pallet jacks
- Entry/exit for people & equipment
- Docks & high-speed doors
- Recycling compactors
Factor your lift truck size into warehouse designs!
If your lift trucks can’t safely navigate through & around your warehouse, its design fails. Avoid that by balancing rack space & equipment capabilities in the design. For example, reach trucks need a minimum 9 ft. aisle width.
Plan for reach trucks to stock the top racks.
Use Very Narrow Aisle trucks to navigate every aisle easily (and safely).
Safety Points:
- Blind intersections
- Cold storage entry & exits
- Corners
- Door spaces
- Intersections
- Rack spacing
Supplies:
Once you have the layout designed, it’s time for build-out!
Warehouse Systems has everything you’d need: Docks, doors, rack & shelving, balers/compactors, visibility guides, etc.
Plus the team to install them. All of them.
Conveyor Systems for Product Transport Efficiency
What’s a reliable way to move/sort product faster, with higher efficiency, and reducing sorting errors at the same time? Use a conveyor!
Advantages of Conveyors
A 24-volt motorized roller (MDR) conveyor is:
- Energy Efficient – uses 30-50% less energy than forklifts or electric pallet jacks
- Quiet – runs on-demand with low noise
- Modular – flexible layouts that fit in your current workspace
- Safer – Designed to keep product and fingers safe
Conveyor Types
Conveyors can be powered or non-powered. Which fits your facility best?
- Roller conveyors – Stable, versatile product-movers
- Gravity conveyors – A rugged, low-cost option
- Incline/Decline conveyors – Move product up or down levels
- Divert conveyors – Change product flow based on preset parameters
- Full pallet conveyors – For moving entire pallets across the warehouse
We source the best option depending on your workspace, from several trusted manufacturers.

Custom-Built Mezzanines for Growing Storage Space
Add thousands of square feet for storage or office space – without adding on to your building! Mezzanines make a big difference for productive space.
Tailored Mezzanine Design from Forklifts Group
Two main types of mezzanines exist:
Standalone – Freestanding mezzanine is a low-cost way to add square footage to your facility for offices, storage, or production areas.
Shelving or Rack-Supported – Add an entire second floor, or multiple floors with storage below it.Each warehouse has its own spacing and its own workflow. Putting a mezzanine in takes planning and foresight.
When you call Forklifts Group’s systems engineers, you’re getting both. We lead installations with a fully-custom design, fitting the mezzanine in your space & budget. Then we oversee your mezzanine construction from start to finish.
