MIL-HDBK-1032/2
Determine Area. Determine the required building area for the
2.3.2.7
selected system(s). Include cube and stacking height values as per Shore
Facilities Planning, NAVFACINST 11010.44d; and Facility Planning Criteria for
Navy and Marine Corps Installations, NAVFAC P-80, Section 440-C.
Determine Support Requirements.
2.3.2.8
Evaluate and size support areas.
Integrate Layout. Develop a composite building layout by
2.3.2.9
integrating the various storage and support areas into a facility layout.
Hazardous materials storage areas must be isolated in combination layouts.
Materials Handling Equipment. The following materials handling
2.3.3
equipment are essential components of covered storage facilities and their
characteristics must be considered during the design phase.
2.3.3.1
Pallet Handling Equipment. This equipment may be either vehicular
(truck-like) or specifically designed (i.e., storage/retrieval machine) for
transporting and storing the standard Navy pallet. Refer to NAVSUP PUB-529
for descriptions of available equipment.
Order Picking Equipment. This equipment is designed to aid a worker
2.3.3.2
in the selection and transportation of supplies and may be vehicle based or
designed as an application specific piece of equipment.
Transport Systems. These systems are designed for the movement of
2.3.3.3
supplies between two or more locations within or outside of a facility. They
may be designed to transport packaged loads (pallets or shelf boxes), loose
loads, bulk liquids, or solids.
2.3.4
Storage Equipment. The following types of storage equipment are
essential components of covered storage facilities and their characteristics
must be considered during the design phase.
2.3.4.1
Pallet Rack. Pallet racks shall be designed for safe storage of
palletized loads based on the standard Navy pallet. Designs for other size
pallets may be used in concurrence with NAVSUP. Refer to Section 6 of NAVSUP
PUB-529 and NAVSUP specifications for pallet rack for related criteria.
Shelving/Bins. Shelving and bins are designed for storage of
2.3.4.2
package type items in less than pallet load quantities. Refer to Section 5 of
NAVSUP PUB-529 for shelving/bin characteristics.
2.3.4.3
Special. Special storage equipment consists of devices designed for
specific purposes such as cantilever rack, vertical sheet storage rack, pallet
stacking frames, rigid and collapsible metal bins, etc.
Installation and Operation Tolerances. Observe the following
2.3.4.4
tolerances for installation and operation of storage equipment. These
tolerances apply in the absence of more stringent manufacturer tolerances.
a) Plumbness of pallet racks and high rise shelving +-l/16 inch
(+-1.6 mm) over total height.
