What are the optimum bay spacings?

0

Bay spacings are generally double wide (two boats per shelf level) or triple wide (three boats per shelf level), or a combination of both. Triple wide bays up to 30′-0″ clear will accommodate boats that have a 9′-0″ to 9′-6″ beam width. If many of the boats to be racked will have beams over 10′-0″ wide, we recommend that double wide bays be utilized. Generally a combination of double wide and triple wide bays will maximize the cubic volume of boat storage. All of our shelf beams are vertically adjustable, with independently, horizontally adjustable timber clamps. [Top of Page]How wide should the forklift aisle be? With the current trend in boat sizes and forklift sizes, most aisles are at least 60′-0″ clear. This width will comfortably handle boats with an overall length of up to 30’. For boats up to 35’ we recommend a 65’-0’ aisle. Boat lengths greater than 35’ should utilize an aisle up to 70’-0″. For boat lengths over 40’, a 75’-0″ aisle should be considered.
