Spray Paint Wears Off Forklift Lanes In Months
Warehouse floor marking lasts far longer in an epoxy or polyaspartic coating than in aerosol paint. Aerosol lines in a forklift lane often fade within a season.
The floor is ground or scuffed under each line, and the coating is rolled on in two coats. Lines placed over a fresh warehouse floor coating bond to it and last longer still.
Layout Comes Before Paint
Warehouse floor marking works best when the layout follows how people really move. We walk the building with your supervisors before any tape goes down.
Typical markings include yellow travel lanes, pedestrian walkways, hatching in front of electrical panels and exits, and stop bars at blind corners. Colour codes can flag storage, staging, damaged goods and outbound areas.
Marked Bays Help Keep Routes Clear
Painted bays make it easier to keep equipment and stock where they belong. New Brunswick's OHS General Regulation says materials and equipment should not be stored in a way that creates a hazard. Marked bays and open walkways make that rule easy to see on the floor.
Lines Can Go Down Between Shifts
Warehouse floor marking can be done overnight or across a weekend. Quick-setting coatings reopen an area within hours, and zones can be marked one at a time so shipping continues.
Colours Follow Your Safety Plan
Many buildings use yellow for traffic lanes and white or green for walkways. Red often marks fire equipment and zones that must stay clear. Your safety team's existing colour plan is followed, or we can help you set one up.
Warehouse Floor Marking At Docks And Freezer Doors
Loading docks and freezer doors are the busiest spots in a distribution building. Lines at these points show where trucks unload, where pallets wait and where people should keep clear.
Lines near freezer doors need a coating that bonds in cold, damp conditions. We choose the product to match the room, and the lines are added to the same visit as any coating or repair work.
How Warehouse Floor Marking Is Priced
Line work is usually priced by the length of line and the number of symbols and hatched areas. After the walk-through, you get a written quote with a marked-up floor plan.
