Logistics Warehouse FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions for Logistics Warehouses

Q:What clearance height do you recommend for AS/RS systems?

Question:What clear height is recommended for an automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS)?

For automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), we recommend a clearance height of 10-14m. Standard e-commerce warehouses typically use 8-10m. The exact height depends on your AS/RS equipment specifications and storage density requirements.

For Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS), we recommend a clear height of 10-14 meters. Standard e-commerce warehouses typically use 8-10 meters. The exact height depends on your AS/RS equipment specifications and storage density requirements.

Q:What insulation is used in cold storage warehouses?

Question:What insulation is used in cold chain warehouses?

Cold storage warehouses use PU (polyurethane) sandwich panels with 100-150 mm thickness. Temperature range: -25°C (frozen) to +18°C (chilled). Panels feature fire-retardant coating and thermal breaks to prevent condensation and minimize energy loss.

Q:Can logistics warehouses be expanded later?

Question:Can the logistics warehouse be expanded later?

Yes, our logistics warehouses are designed for easy expansion. You can extend the length by adding more bays without affecting existing operations. Expansion joints and embedded components are installed during initial construction to support future expansion.

Yes, our logistics warehouse is designed for easy expansion. You can extend the length by adding cross-aisles without disrupting existing operations. Expansion joints and embedded parts are installed during initial construction to support future growth.

Q:What is the floor load capacity for logistics warehouses?

Question:What is the floor load capacity of the logistics warehouse?

Standard logistics warehouses support floor loads of 3-5 T/m². For high-density storage with narrow aisles, we recommend 5-7 T/m². Our engineering team designs the foundation based on your storage system and forklift specifications.

Standard warehouse floor load capacity: 3-5 tons/sq m. For narrow-aisle high-density storage, we recommend 5-7 tons/sq m. Our engineering team designs the foundation based on your storage system and forklift model.

Q:How quickly can a logistics warehouse be installed?

Question:How long does installation take for a logistics warehouse?

A 5,000 m² standard logistics warehouse (8m clearance) requires 30-45 days for installation. High-clearance warehouses (12m) take 40-55 days. Cold storage units require 50-70 days due to the complexity of PU panel installation.

5000 sq ft standard logistics warehouse (8 ft clear height) requires 30-45 days for installation. High-clearance warehouse (12 ft) requires 40-55 days. Cold storage warehouses require 50-70 days due to the complexity of PU panel installation.

Q:Do we offer dock door and loading bay design services?

Question:Do you offer design services for loading docks and loading areas?

Yes, we design dock doors and loading bays tailored to your truck types and daily throughput. Standard configuration: 1 dock door per 500-800m². We also design truck turning radii, apron space, and dock levelers for efficient logistics operations.

Yes, we design your dock doors and loading areas based on your truck model and daily throughput. Standard configuration: 1 dock doors per 500-800 square meters. We also engineer truck turning radii, loading platforms, and dock levelers to ensure efficient logistics operations.

Q:How much more does cold storage cost compared to a standard warehouse?

Question:What is the cost difference between a cold storage warehouse and a standard warehouse?

Cold storage warehouses cost USD 100-180/m², compared to USD 40-90/m² for standard warehouses. The 100-150% premium is due to PU insulation panels (50% higher cost), refrigeration systems (30% higher cost), and specialized construction details (20% higher cost).

Cold storage warehouse construction costs range from 100 to 180 USD per square meter, while standard warehouses cost 40 to 90 USD per square meter. The 100–150% premium is driven by PU insulation panels (+50%), refrigeration systems (+30%), and specialized construction details (+20%).

Q:Can you design warehouses for tropical climates?

Question:Can you design a warehouse for a tropical climate?

Yes, we specialize in logistics warehouses for tropical climates. Key features include enhanced ventilation (roof ventilators + side windows), anti-condensation insulation, corrosion-resistant coatings for high humidity, and UV-resistant roof panels.

Q:Do you offer fire protection systems?

Question:Does it include a fire protection system?

Yes, we design fire protection systems including fire-rated panels (Class 1/Class 2), sprinkler system anchors, smoke vents, and fire extinguisher locations. For cold storage, we use specialized low-temperature sprinkler systems.

Yes, our fire protection system design includes fire-rated boards (Class 1/Class 2), pre-installed sprinkler components, smoke exhaust outlets, and fire extinguisher locations. For cold chain facilities, we utilize a specialized low-temperature sprinkler system.

Q:What is the lead time for logistics warehouse projects?

Question:What is the delivery timeline for the logistics warehouse project?

Total project lead time: 2.5-4 months. Production: 25-35 days. Shipping: 20-40 days (depending on destination). Installation: 30-55 days. We can expedite production to 20 days for urgent projects at an additional cost.
