Silica Sand Storage: Secure, Dry, & Ready When You Need It.
Silica sand is exceptionally well-suited for long-term warehousing, offering a robust and reliable solution for your operational needs. Warehouses provide a stable, dry environment crucial for maintaining the integrity of this valued material, minimizing dust and ensuring consistent performance across various applications. Strategic pallet racking systems are ideal for maximizing storage density and facilitating efficient retrieval, allowing for bulk quantities to be readily accessible. It’s essential to consider the product’s inherent properties: silica sand is naturally abrasive, so utilizing durable racking and shelving materials, such as steel, is highly recommended to prevent damage and maintain product quality. Proper aisle widths and forklift access are key for operational flow. Regular inspections for any signs of moisture accumulation or dust buildup are vital to proactively address potential issues. A well-managed warehouse storage solution guarantees long-term product availability and consistent quality, making it a practical and cost-effective choice for silica sand storage. Finally, a secure warehouse environment protects against external elements, ensuring your inventory remains undisturbed and ready for use.
Storage Size/Dimensions: Minimum 200 square feet, with dimensions of 20ft x 10ft. Height clearance: 12 feet to allow for stacking. A secondary area of 50 sq ft (10ft x 5ft) is recommended for staging.
Storage Conditions: The storage area must be dry and well-ventilated. The floor should be level and capable of handling the weight of the sand. Regular inspection for debris and dust accumulation is required. Avoid areas prone to dampness or water intrusion.
Special Handling: Silica sand is a relatively fragile material. While generally robust, excessive dropping or impact could result in minor spillage. Recommend using protective padding on individual bags or containers during handling. Consider using drop cloths to protect the floor.
Stacking/Shelving: Pallet storage is ideal. Utilize standard 48” high pallets. Shelving units with adjustable shelves are acceptable, ensuring shelves are strong enough to support the weight of stacked pallets. Max stacking height: 4 pallets.
Access Requirements: A loading dock with a minimum width of 12 feet and a door opening of at least 10 feet is necessary for efficient loading and unloading. A clear aisle space of 8 feet is required alongside the loading dock for forklift access. Ensure adequate overhead clearance for forklift operation.

The modularity of cubework is incredibly beneficial; you can easily adjust the storage configuration to suit your exact needs, adding or removing units as your requirements change. This flexibility allows you to maximize space utilization and efficiently organize your silica sand supply. Cubework’s robust construction ensures long-term durability, and the individual compartments promote easy access to the sand, streamlining your workflow. Ultimately, cubework offers a practical and adaptable storage solution specifically designed for the characteristics of silica sand.
