Garage shelving capacity
Enter the measurements above to calculate garage shelving capacity.
How the calculation works
Behind the calculator, the rule is maxUnits=floor(wallWidth/unitWidth) subject to unitHeight≤ceilingHeight and shelfDepth+aisleWidth≤garageDepth. That rule maps directly to the displayed garage shelving capacity.
Worked example
Example: Garage wall width = 300 cm; Ceiling height = 240 cm; Available depth = 60 cm; Required aisle width = 60 cm; Shelf depth = 60 cm; Shelving unit width = 60 cm; Unit height = 240 cm. Result: Max Units = 5.
