Layout & Design in New Jersey
Warehouse layout and design is where your storage system goes from 'we need more rack' to a detailed plan that maximizes your space, fits your operation, and meets code. A good layout designer considers your product mix, throughput requirements, forklift equipment, building dimensions, and fire code — then figures out how to fit the most useful storage into the space you have. New Jersey has the densest concentration of warehouses on the Eastern Seaboard. The Port of New York and New Jersey (the largest on the East Coast) feeds a massive warehouse corridor along the NJ Turnpike and I-287. Exit 8A of the Turnpike in Cranbury/Monroe has become shorthand for the state's distribution center concentration.
