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.

Quma Rentals provides rental equipment that helps optimize warehouse space, including:

  • Forklifts for efficient material handling

  • Scissor Lifts for vertical access and maintenance

HOW TO INSTALL CASTERS & REMOVE THEM

June 18, 2025

Casters play a vital role in warehouse and industrial environments by enabling smooth movement of carts, racks, trolleys, and equipment. Proper installation and removal of casters ensures safety, load stability, and long equipment life. Incorrect handling can lead to accidents, uneven movement, or damage to floors and equipment.

At Quma Rentals, we work closely with warehouses and industrial facilities across Saudi Arabia and understand the importance of correct caster handling.

⚙️ Types of Casters Commonly Used

Before installation, it is important to identify the correct caster type:

  • Plate-mounted casters – Fixed using a metal plate and bolts

  • Stem casters – Inserted directly into equipment legs

  • Rigid casters – Move in a straight line

  • Swivel casters – Rotate 360° for better maneuverability

  • Brake casters – Include locking mechanisms for safety

Choosing the right caster depends on load capacity, floor type, and movement requirements.

🛠 How to Install Casters (Step-by-Step)

1️⃣ Prepare the Equipment

Ensure the equipment or rack is empty and placed on a flat surface. Engage safety supports to prevent movement during installation.

2️⃣ Position the Casters

Align the caster plate or stem with the mounting holes or socket on the equipment frame.

3️⃣ Secure the Casters

For plate-mounted casters, use appropriate bolts, washers, and nuts. Tighten evenly to avoid misalignment.
For stem casters, insert firmly until fully seated.

4️⃣ Check Load Balance

Ensure all casters are installed evenly and can support the intended load without wobbling.

5️⃣ Test Movement & Brakes

Move the equipment slowly to check smooth rolling and test brake functionality if available.

🔄 How to Remove Casters Safely

1️⃣ Empty the Equipment

Always remove load before detaching casters.

2️⃣ Lift or Support the Frame

Use jacks or support stands to safely lift the equipment off the ground.

3️⃣ Loosen Fasteners

Unscrew bolts or release the stem using appropriate tools. Avoid sudden force.

4️⃣ Inspect Mounting Points

Check for wear, cracks, or damage before installing new casters.

5️⃣ Replace or Store Casters

Store removed casters properly or replace them with suitable alternatives.

⚠️ Safety Tips to Remember

  • Never exceed the caster’s load rating

  • Use locking casters for stationary equipment

  • Regularly inspect casters for wear and damage

  • Keep floors clean to ensure smooth movement

  • Use proper tools and protective gear

🏭 Where Casters Are Commonly Used

  • Warehouse racks and shelving

  • Pallet trolleys and carts

  • Workstations and mobile tables

  • Material handling equipment

  • Temporary storage systems

Casters improve flexibility and efficiency when installed and maintained correctly.
