Question
Dear

I wish to set up warehouse for general purpose hiring. Goods are likely to Foodgrains, Cement, Fertilizers. Please help me

Praveen

Answer
Dear Praveen,
some criteria:

1) classify your materials in families
2) forecast an average  volume to be stored (load)
3) Calculate the number of pallet places  (capacity)
4) Check if the pallet places are sufficient for the load. If yes ok, otherwise reduce the load.
5) The definition of the pallet places depends on the handling system you use (forklift, etc)

Avalibale for any other info , best regards
If you need a warehouse project I'm available on site or on line.
Best regards
