For example, a standard 4 deep lane for 48 deep pallets would have 6&#8243; of slope. This slope ensures that empty carts will always return to the front of the lane if accidentally pushed back by the operator. In most cases the total slope is less than the lift clearance above the pallet at the load end, and therefore, does not affect the number of storage levels.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;gcid-518fa751-7984-4453-8660-5e38c0e3d225&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.17px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||16px||false|false&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;font-weight: 400;&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-518fa751-7984-4453-8660-5e38c0e3d225%22:%91%22text_text_color%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>We can also reduce the slope if you have a special requirement.
