b Type B, Low stacking. Type B potential vacant space occurs as a result of low stacking, that is,

failure to stack to full permissible heights considering the floor load, height of roof rafters and ceiling joists, commodity

characteristics, and strength of package. Space is 100 percent occupied when the low stacking is caused by limitations

of floor load, height of roof rafters and ceiling joists, commodity characteristics, and/or strength of package (see fig 2-53).

Figures 2-54 provides an example where there is 25 percent type B potential vacant space because if the pallets in the

foreground were loaded in the same way as those in the rear, the foreground pallets could be stacked eight high instead

of six. Figure 2-55 shows type B potential vacant space and the space that can be recovered through rewarehousing.
