You mentioned wood crates. You did not mention if there are any pallets
involved. If there are any plastic pallets involved you may have to
increase the commodity class.

Subject: Determining a Warehouse Commodity Classification
(I seem to have lost access to the archives, so I can't research this..)
I am involved in an initial design (performance spec) for a warehouse type
project consisting of a butler building approx. 300'x60' and 35' high in
size (18,000 sq. ft.). Approx 7000 sq. ft. of floor area will consist of
25' high rack storage that is 42" deep with a 12" space and then another 42"
deep rack. There are 5 racks of this arrangement with an aisle at minimum
9'-6" width between them. The shelving itself is wire decking.
The center part of the building has some administrative area offices and
other storage areas (no shelving shown). The other end of the building is a
maintenance garage for repairs of vehicles.
We have asked about what they intend to store on the shelving and have been
told that primarily they are storing spare machinery parts, some of which
are in wood crates; these are small, medium, large and very large. These
include hydraulic cylinders, engines, transmissions, radiators, air
chambers, pumps, belts, hoses, fittings, nuts, bolts (small items are in
cardboard boxes in most cases), and tools (both power and non-power tools).
Aerosol cans include brake cleaner, starting fluid, lubricant (WD-40),
window cleaner, and paint. They carry no more than two cases (24 cans) of
each item in stock. There are filters, including fuel, oil, air, water, and
hydraulic types, all sizes and shapes. They also store spare pre-charged
batteries. These are heavy equipment batteries; (2) large, (2) medium and
(4) small are typically all they have on hand.
We feel the rack storage area is our most demanding area. We have reviewed
our options and feel that Commodity Class II would be appropriate based on
the above information. Does anyone see something that might reflect using a
different classification?
Appreciate any response.
