How to calculate storage capacity of a temporary warehouse
Efficient business operations hinge on the strategic management of warehouse capacity. This emphasises the importance of understanding and optimising your available space.
Being knowledgeable of how much space you have can help you to run your business effectively and plan for either extending or reducing the space you currently have available.
If you’re planning on installing additional temporary warehouse space on your site, it’s useful to know how to calculate your current warehouse capacity. Furthermore, knowing how to calculate warehouse capacity allows you to clearly understand how much additional space your new structure will provide.
In this article, we explain how you can easily calculate your available capacity!
Understanding how much capacity your existing facility has is essential to help you optimise your business operations. To determine the capacity of your warehouse, you need to know how much useable space is currently in the structure. You can easily calculate the total useable space in your warehouse or storage tent by subtracting the total non-storage space, such as break rooms and loading areas, from the total square footage of your warehouse.
To calculate the total storage capacity of this space, you need to multiply the maximum stack height in your warehouse by your total useable space. This allows you to determine your warehouse’s storage potential in cubic feet.
How do I know what space I need?
Once you understand how to approach warehouse capacity you’re able to make informed decisions about what space you need and better decisions on how to optimise the space you have.
