A
st
– Aisle width requirement
The aisle width requirement can be described as the space required by the truck to
pick a pallet from a pallet rack, reverse out in the aisle, turn and proceed down the
aisle.
The formula, according to VDI, used to calculate the aisle width requirement (in
millimetres) is:
A
st
(with raised forks) = Turning radius + (length of pallet - dis-
tance between back of fork to fork wheel centre) + safety dis-
tance
or
A
st
= W
a
+ (L - x) + 2×100
Note: If the length of the pallet is shorter than the length of the fork, then the pallet must be substi-
tuted by the total length of the fork. In this formula, the safety distance is assumed to be 2 x 100 mm.
