MIL-HDBK-1032/2
Storage Height. Design for the maximum economic storage height,
6.6.1
using pallet racks. Floor-stacked pallets shall be stored four high (16 feet
or 4880 mm).
Spacing of Pallets. The minimum spacing between walls and floor-
6.6.2
stacked pallets shall be 6 inches (150 mm), and the minimum spacing between
pallets shall be 4 inches (100 mm).
Maximum Aisle Width. Aisle width between floor-stacked pallets
6.6.3
shall be 8 feet (2440 mm) maximum. Narrow-aisle fork lift trucks shall be
used to provide the minimum possible aisle width.
Pallet Rack Attachment. Pallet racks shall be anchored to the floor.
6.6.4
Attachment to, or penetration of, ceiling or wall insulation is not
permitted. Provide additional rack stability by installing cross-aisle
bridging to tie racks into a single structure.
Volume Efficiency. The greatest volume efficiency (ratio of
6.6.5
enclosed volume to surface area) at a given height is achieved in a square
structure.
