AVERAGE WAREHOUSE SIZES & SPACE PLANNING TIPS

June 18, 2025

Effective warehouse space planning plays a critical role in improving operational efficiency, safety, and cost control. Choosing the right warehouse size and organizing space correctly can significantly enhance material flow, storage capacity, and productivity.

At Quma Rentals, we support warehouses and industrial facilities across Saudi Arabia by providing reliable material handling equipment and practical planning insights.


🏗 Understanding Average Warehouse Sizes

Warehouse sizes vary based on industry, storage needs, and operational scale. Common warehouse size categories include:

  • Small Warehouses (5,000 – 20,000 sq. ft.)
    Ideal for small businesses, retail storage, and regional distribution.

  • Medium Warehouses (20,000 – 100,000 sq. ft.)
    Suitable for logistics hubs, manufacturing support, and inventory management.

  • Large Warehouses (100,000+ sq. ft.)
    Used by large logistics companies, distribution centers, and industrial operations.

Selecting the right size ensures better space utilization and smoother workflows.


📐 Key Space Planning Tips for Warehouses

1️⃣ Optimize Vertical Space

Use vertical racking systems to maximize storage capacity without expanding floor space. High-reach forklifts and scissor lifts help access elevated storage safely.

2️⃣ Maintain Clear Aisles

Proper aisle width improves forklift movement, reduces congestion, and enhances safety for workers.

3️⃣ Plan Equipment Zones

Designate clear areas for forklifts, sweepers, loading ramps, and staging zones to avoid operational bottlenecks.

4️⃣ Improve Loading & Unloading Areas

Well-planned loading docks and ramps speed up goods movement and reduce turnaround time.

5️⃣ Focus on Safety & Accessibility

Ensure emergency exits, safety markings, and equipment access points are clearly defined.

AUTOMATED STORAGE & RETRIEVAL SYSTEMS (ASRS)

June 18, 2025

As warehouse operations grow in scale and complexity, businesses are increasingly adopting Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems (ASRS) to improve efficiency, accuracy, and space utilization. These systems reduce manual handling, optimize inventory movement, and support high-volume operations with greater precision.

At Quma Rentals, we help warehouses and industrial facilities across Saudi Arabia enhance their operations by supporting ASRS-ready environments with reliable material handling and access equipment.


🏗 What Is an Automated Storage & Retrieval System?

An ASRS is a computer-controlled system that automatically places and retrieves goods from designated storage locations. It is commonly used in high-density warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities where speed and accuracy are critical.

ASRS solutions typically integrate with racking systems, forklifts, conveyors, and warehouse management systems (WMS).


⚙️ Key Benefits of ASRS

1️⃣ Maximum Space Utilization

ASRS allows vertical and compact storage, reducing the need for large floor areas while increasing storage capacity.

2️⃣ Improved Accuracy

Automated systems minimize human error, ensuring accurate picking, storage, and inventory tracking.

3️⃣ Faster Order Fulfillment

Goods are retrieved quickly and efficiently, reducing lead times and improving customer satisfaction.

4️⃣ Enhanced Workplace Safety

Reduced manual handling lowers the risk of workplace injuries and accidents.

5️⃣ Scalable Operations

ASRS solutions can grow alongside business demands, making them ideal for expanding operations.


🚜 Supporting Equipment for ASRS Environments

While ASRS handles automation, supporting equipment plays a crucial role in overall efficiency. Quma Rentals provides flexible rental solutions such as:

  • Forklifts for pallet handling and staging

  • Scissor Lifts for installation and maintenance of ASRS infrastructure

  • Racking Systems to support automated storage layouts

  • Loading Ramps for inbound and outbound logistics

  • Industrial Sweepers to maintain clean and safe warehouse floors

These solutions allow businesses to implement or maintain ASRS systems without heavy capital investment.


🏭 Ideal Applications for ASRS

  • Large distribution centers

  • Manufacturing and production facilities

  • E-commerce fulfillment hubs

  • Cold storage and specialized warehouses

  • High-volume inventory operations

ASRS is especially beneficial where speed, accuracy, and space optimization are priorities.
