Lift trucks are available to meet a variety of clearance restrictions. Noteworthy is narrow-aisle equipment. Another accessory worthy of consideration is the multilift mast, which permits lifting loads over 3.7 m (12 ft). Of special importance in specifying any mast is that it will clear the various door openings it must enter, which includes those of trucks, railcars, and buildings. To meet most conditions, the collapsed height of the mast must be 2235 mm (88 in). An ideal lift truck for chemical-plant distribution warehouses would have 2000-kg (4000-lb) capacity electric (battery) propulsion solid-state controls ... 

From an inventoiy-turnover point of view, four major rack-storage systems are possible drive-in, drive-through, flow, and aisle. 

A typical drive-in rack consists of a steel structure to support palletized goods at the pallet edge, with the center of the pallet unsupported. The space between pallet support members is sufficient to permit a lift truck to drive in to place or retrieve a load. These racks are usually made to accommodate 12 pallets, which are positioned from the seiwice aisle to the end of the rack. Because of the rack, each pallet position has the abihty to hold 6 to 8 pallets vertically. 

The installed capit investment is about 375 per pallet for a 5000-paUet system. A characteristic of drive-in, drive-through, and flow racks is that, at any one point in time, only one product can occupy a given storage lane. Products are not mixed because of the complications that this practice presents in inventoiy management. In any event, there is seldom any need to mix products in the chemical industry because products are made in lots, blends, etc., and a storage lane is ordinarily designed to accommodate either a complete lot or some fraction of a lot. The result is that the total storage space available rarely is completely used. This is a problem that aisle racks... 

Aisle racks, used when there is a rapid turnover of inventory, permit a storage depth of only one or two pallet loads but offer the advantage of instant access to the stored item. Although this requires only a minimum of lift-truck time to store or retrieve a pallet, a high percentage of floor space must be devoted to aisles. 

The inventoiy system needed is FIFO, which is desirable when inventories are subject to obsolescence or deterioration or when they consist of raw materials that fluc tuate widely in value. The capital investment for a typical aisle-rack storage system having a 5000-paUet capacity (I deep) is 6.5 per stored pallet (this does not include hft-truck investment). 

Lift-truck operation is veiy simple and produc tive, even at 7-m (20-ft) elevations. Aisle racks can be as high as 30 m (100 ft), but above 7 m stacker cranes are favored over hft trucks because cranes allow seiwicing high storage at high rates. The installed investment in aisle racks, inclumng a stacker crane, is about 500 per pallet. 

Using a standard audit form is certainly acceptable and can prove to be an outstanding tool, especially when getting a handle on a fire extinguisher program, life-safety issues, the lighting of exit signs, availability of first-aid kits, clear aisles, and a variety of issues that are basic in nature. The typical standard audit form will likely have complete sections that are marked not applicable. Unless a unique audit form is created, there is usually no way around sections that will be marked not applicable. ... 

In the ideal case the target level procedure for industrial ventilation can be compared with materials selection. Somebody who wants steel AISl 316, for instance, just selects and buys it by specifying this standard. The person will obtain steel with the desired properties, because the steel is made according to the producer s quality requirements and the producer guarantees its quality.

Flatness is of critical importance to some sections of industrial operations such as VNA (very narrow aisle) high rack warehouses or automatic guided vehicles. The degree of flatness achieved is dependent on construction techniques, workmanship and supervision. 

When existing factories are being examined, the floor areas occupied by the various items of equipment can be measured on site during the data-collection period. It is important to consider and include the equipment outline (maximum travels), space for maintenance activity, operator movement and the handling of material and workpieces. In many cases, the space needed for handling exceeds that required accommodating the operative part of the equipment. Aisle space is also needed for through-shop movement. 

In the absence of reliable information and during the preliminary planning stage (feasibility studies, etc.) the following space requirements for aisles can be employed ... 

Starting with the boiler(s), these will be set out giving due consideration to space between boilers and other items of plant in order to give adequate access to all equipment, valves and controls for operation and maintenance. For small- to medium-sized boilers 1 meter may be considered a reasonable space between items of plant where access is required. With large boilers (including watertube), this may be increased up to 3 m. The width of firing aisle will be dependent upon the size and type of boiler.

Double Loop EPR Test Details of this procedure are given in Japanese Industrial Standard JIS G 0580 (1986). The sample is ground to a 1(X) grit finish then placed in the test solution for about 2 min to establish the rest potential (about —400 mV (S.C.E.) for AISl Types 304 and 304L stainless steel). 

Laboratory storage cabinets and shelves are available in different widths and are usually 12 inches deep. A depth of more than this is not recommended unless large, bulky items are to be stored. Narrower shelves, six to nine inches deep, have been found more practical for reagents and other small items. If shelves and cabinets are to be mounted on walls above work benches, possible interference with work performed there must be considered. Three feet or more should be allowed for aisles. 

Waste containers and stools are frequent occupants of laboratory aisles, where they may cause congestion. One answer to this is to provide a sufficient number of knee-holes in the work benches to hold them.

(C), distribution of calcium in young flax hypocotyl constituted of elongating cells. (D), small areas of calcium accumulation in the aisles of the intercellular spaces. 

It is worth noticing what other products are likely to share the same aisle or shelf. In a study on how to increase purchases in the Minneapolis and St Paul markets in the USA, by including organic products, a mixed effect on sales was found in upmarket stores, but there was a significant positive effect on sales of dairy products, pasta, bread, cereal and carrots in a discount store (Thompson, 1998). 

If the pallets are stacked 3 rows deep on either side of an aisle, the length of the aisles would be (84/6) x 4 56 ft. 

This allows for no room between pallets, no cross aisles, no office space, no dock space, no space for servicing lift trucks, no toilets, and so on. From 1,000 to 1,500 ft2... 

The total area is 65,000 ft2. This area should be increased by 5% for extra aisles, an office, and storage for fork lifts. Specify a building 180 ft x 380 ft. 

Melinda and Joaquin can restock an aisle at the supermarket in one hour working together. Melinda can restock an aisle in 1.5 hours working alone, and it takes Joaquin 2 hours to restock an aisle. If they work together for two hours, and then work separately for another two hours, how many aisles will they have completed ...
