ABSTRACT
Few industrial storage buildings are designed to make a profit; the majority perform the function of a valve or pipeline, limiting the supply of a product to suit demand, to stabilise prices and allow steady and economic manufacture within fluctuating market conditions. The position of the construction and movement joints within a concrete floor. Generally, columns should be hidden within the racking, as should the floor joints. For very constricted sites where a large volume of goods needs to be held high-bay, automated warehouses can prove the most economical solution. Where the cost of high-bay stacking and high-lift machinery is not justified, fork-lifts and reach trucks are used. Mobile racking where pallet racking is mounted on mobile bases and rests face to face may be suitable where storage is to be installed in an existing structure or where the site is limited in area and the turnover of products comparatively low.
