Cold Storage Capacity
Calculate storage capacity in pallets and tons from cold room dimensions, pallet layout, stacking levels and pallet weight. No sign-up needed; results update as you type.
See the system that does this automaticallyOpen the live demoCold Storage Capacity: worked example
Example values: Room length 30 m, Room width 18 m, Usable height 8 m, Aisle and clearance allowance 35 %, Pallet length 1.2 m, Pallet width 0.8 m, Loaded pallet height (incl. clearance) 1.9 m, Net weight per pallet 900 kg. With these values the results are:
| Floor pallet positions | 365 pallets |
|---|---|
| Stacking levels | 4 |
| Total pallet capacity | 1,460 pallets |
| Tonnage capacity | 1,314.0 t |
| Room volume | 4,320 m³ |
How to use: Cold Storage Capacity
- Enter your own values: Room length, Room width, Usable height, Aisle and clearance allowance, Pallet length, Pallet width, Loaded pallet height (incl. clearance), Net weight per pallet.
- Results are calculated as you type: Floor pallet positions, Stacking levels, Total pallet capacity, Tonnage capacity.
- Check every step of the calculation in the formulas below.
How is it calculated?
- Floor pallet positions = floor([Room length] × [Room width] × (1 − [Aisle and clearance allowance] ÷ 100) ÷ ([Pallet length] × [Pallet width]))
- Stacking levels = floor([Usable height] ÷ [Loaded pallet height (incl. clearance)])
- Total pallet capacity = [Floor pallet positions] × [Stacking levels]
- Tonnage capacity = [Floor pallet positions] × [Stacking levels] × [Net weight per pallet] ÷ 1,000
- Room volume = [Room length] × [Room width] × [Usable height]

Frequently asked questions
How is Cold Storage Capacity calculated?
Calculate storage capacity in pallets and tons from cold room dimensions, pallet layout, stacking levels and pallet weight. The calculation uses Production and Cold Chain Engine: Calculates recipe, raw material, yield, waste, dry matter and cold storage costs with the same unit and cost rules.
How is Total pallet capacity found?
Total pallet capacity = [Floor pallet positions] × [Stacking levels]. With the example values (Room length 30 m, Room width 18 m, Usable height 8 m, Aisle and clearance allowance 35 %, Pallet length 1.2 m, Pallet width 0.8 m) the result is 1,460 pallets.
How is Tonnage capacity found?
Tonnage capacity = [Floor pallet positions] × [Stacking levels] × [Net weight per pallet] ÷ 1,000. With the example values (Room length 30 m, Room width 18 m, Usable height 8 m, Aisle and clearance allowance 35 %, Pallet length 1.2 m, Pallet width 0.8 m) the result is 1,314.0 t.
Worked example: Cold Storage Capacity
Example values: Room length 30 m, Room width 18 m, Usable height 8 m, Aisle and clearance allowance 35 %, Pallet length 1.2 m, Pallet width 0.8 m. Floor pallet positions: 365 pallets; Stacking levels: 4; Total pallet capacity: 1,460 pallets; Tonnage capacity: 1,314.0 t; Room volume: 4,320 m³.
Is Cold Storage Capacity free?
Yes. The tool is free, needs no sign-up and runs in your browser; the data you enter is not stored.
Can FCRSOFT do this calculation automatically?
FCRSOFT tracks recipes, batch production, waste and the cold chain by lot automatically. You can try the Industry & Cold Chain — feed, processing, storage package in the live demo without installing anything.
