Dimensions of the driveways and aisle
widths
The following dimensions and aisle width
requirements apply under the specified con-
ditions to ensure safe manoeuvring. In each
case, it should be checked whether a larger
aisle width is necessary, e.g. with deviating
load dimensions. Within the EU, there must
be compliance with the 89/654/EEC directive
(minimum safety and health requirements
for the workplace). The respective national
guidelines apply for areas outside of the EU.
The required aisle widths (Ast) depend on the
dimensions of the load. For pallets, these are:
Aisle width (mm)

1000x1200

800x1200
