Work out warehouse bag capacity instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Bag storage never uses the whole floor: aisles, wall clearances for fumigation and inspection, and dunnage typically take a quarter of the area. The remaining 75% divided by the bag footprint gives bags per layer, and multiplying by stack height gives capacity.
Bag capacity
Bags per layer = 0.75 x floor area / bag footprint; capacity = bags per layer x stack height
Stacks that are too high or poorly bonded can collapse and cause crush injuries. Follow warehouse stacking standards and keep fumigation clearances.
Jute bags of grain are commonly stacked 10-15 high on dunnage. Beyond that the bottom bags compress and burst, and manual handling becomes unsafe.
A 0.6-1.0 m gap lets you inspect for rodents and insects, allows air movement, and is essential for sheeting a stack for fumigation.
