How wide should the forklift aisle be?
With the current trend in boat sizes and forklift sizes, most aisles are at least 60′-0″ clear. This width will comfortably handle boats with an overall length of up to 30’. For boats up to 35’ we recommend a 65’-0’ aisle. Boat lengths greater than 35’ should utilize an aisle up to 70’-0″. For boat lengths over 40’, a 75’-0″ aisle should be considered. [Top of Page]How thick should the concrete be for the forklift aisle? The aisle slab must be adequately designed to handle the load of the forklift. If there is a minimum of 2500 psf soil bearing pressure we recommend a concrete slab requiring a minimum of 8″ thick structural slab with two mats of #5 rebar on 12″ c-c. Now that forklifts are capable of handling much larger boats, thicker slabs – from 10″ to 16″ thick – are often required. It is not uncommon for us to build pile supported structural concrete slabs in areas where the soil conditions are poor. Earlier on in the project planning stages we strongly recommend that soil borings
