Planning to expand your facility, move into a new space or re-engineer your current space to address future needs? If so, understanding all the possibilities in design allows you to make an informed decision. One area to focus on is to ensure you select the ideal aisle width for your operation. Many components can influence your selection.
Beyond simply serving as pathways for workers, warehouse aisles play a pivotal role in shaping workflow, determining equipment suitability, and more. Each warehouse has unique spatial requirements and flow considerations, which is why understanding the types of aisleways is important. Let’s explore them together:
To ensure optimal functionality, align your aisles with the flow of goods and traffic. Consider whether parallel or perpendicular alignment to loading docks works best for your operations. Additionally, carefully plan aisle length and layout, tailoring them to the number of storage bays and overall warehouse dimensions.
Remember, well-designed aisles improve access, visibility, and navigation, reducing travel distance and simplifying picking tasks. It’s important to recognize that the ideal aisle type will vary based on the unique characteristics of your warehouse. By carefully considering the best fit for your specific needs, you might just be surprised at how much it can help productivity and inventory management.
There are many options when it comes to finding the best design for your warehouse. At LIDD, we have a team of experts who specialize in warehouse design and installation.

Our experts are here to provide you with the guidance you need.
