    Secure Hay Storage: Protect Your Harvest, Maximize Profits.

    Storing hay in a well-managed warehouse facility offers a secure and efficient solution for preserving this valuable agricultural resource. Warehouse storage provides a protected environment, shielding hay bales from the elements – including rain, snow, and direct sunlight – which are key contributors to spoilage and loss. The expansive, open spaces within a warehouse allow for optimal airflow, facilitating natural drying and reducing the risk of mold growth, a major concern for unprotected hay. Proper stacking techniques, utilizing pallet racking systems, maximize storage density and ensure easy access to bales for retrieval. Strategic layout and consistent airflow are crucial for maintaining hay quality and extending its shelf life. Warehouse facilities often boast robust security measures, providing peace of mind against theft and damage. Furthermore, the structured environment of a warehouse simplifies inventory management and facilitates efficient logistics, making it the ideal choice for safeguarding your hay investment and ensuring its availability when needed. Utilizing a warehouse guarantees a consistent, dry environment to maintain hay's nutritional value.

    Space Requirements

    • Storage Size/Dimensions: Minimum 200 sq ft, ideally 20ft x 10ft, with a height clearance of 12 feet. Allow for 4ft of access space around each stack.

    • Storage Conditions: Dry storage is essential. The area should be well-ventilated to prevent moisture buildup and potential mold growth. Ensure the floor is level and capable of supporting heavy loads.

    • Special Handling: Hay is a bulky and somewhat fragile material. Palletize the hay to prevent damage during handling. Utilize thick, protective padding (e.g., wood pallets, tarpaulins) to minimize compression and protect against abrasion.

    • Stacking/Shelving: Pallet storage is recommended. Utilize 48” high pallets to maximize storage density. Consider using wire shelving units within the storage area for organized access, ensuring they are robust enough to handle the weight.

    • Access Requirements: A loading dock with a 12ft wide access door is required. The door should have a minimum width of 8 feet for easy access with forklifts. Maintain a 10ft clearance space around the loading dock for forklift maneuvering. A single 12ft x 12ft access area is recommended for personnel movement.
