Ground Surface
Floor, road and yard surfaces should be of adequate load capacity, firm, smooth and
level. Approaches to kerbs, railway crossings etc. should also be firm, smooth and
adequately ramped to prevent possible displacement.
Aisle Dimensions

passages and low ceilings.

Structures over aisles, which may be potential obstacles should be defined and marked
with a conspicuous colour. Low doorways should be marked with their clearance limits.
