* **Storage Size/Dimensions**: Minimum 200 square feet, or an area of 15 feet x 13.3 feet. Height clearance: 12 feet is recommended for efficient storage. * **Storage Conditions**: Dry storage is required. The area must be well-ventilated to prevent dust accumulation and potential corrosion. Avoid direct sunlight exposure. * **Special Handling**: Aluminum channels are generally durable but can be scratched or dented. Pallet wrap or protective coverings are recommended for individual pieces. Consider using corner protectors to safeguard edges. * **Stacking/Shelving**: Pallet storage is ideal, utilizing 48” high pallets. Alternatively, adjustable shelving units with a minimum shelf height of 6 feet are acceptable. Ensure shelving is robust enough to handle the weight of stacked channels. Stacking height should not exceed 4 pallets. * **Access Requirements**: A loading dock with a minimum width of 12 feet is necessary for truck access. The dock door should be at least 10 feet wide with a clearance of 3 feet on either side for maneuvering. Forklifts require a minimum aisle width of 10 feet for operation. * **Material Handling**: Forklift access is essential for moving pallets of aluminum channels. Consider designated pathways to prevent congestion. * **Inventory Management**: Utilize a robust inventory system to track channel sizes and quantities effectively.

Stack safely within load limits, use pallets or shelving, and ensure dry, ventilated conditions to prevent corrosion.

Protect with pallet wrap, corner guards, and secure shelving. Pallets must be 48" high for optimal stability.

Loading docks require 15 ft width, forklift access, and 12 ft height clearance. Aisles must accommodate 48" high pallets.

Inventory management and regular inspections reduce risks. Proper packaging and handling minimize damage costs.
