[QUOTE="lolbr, post: 3749960, member: 68664"] The issue with laying flat is most noticeable in the third and fourth drawings you made (a lot of the times the second will also cause the same issue. What happens is, because the bottom box is slanted, the top boxes slide toward the wall. This is good, to a point. Due to bumps and crappy shocks on the trucks, the bottom box slowly moves forward as it bounces up into the top box. Eventually the top box falls behind it, and after more bumps it will push the bottom box all the way off the shelf. Then the boxes that are left no longer have the lip load to keep them toward the wall, so they fall also. Best option, if possible, is to load the boxes deep first, then tall, using as little width of the shelf as possible per box. Only when the entire shelf has a row of boxes should you really be stacking them. Unless you have a stop with multiple small boxes of the same size, or at least very close to the same size. As long as you aren't putting large packages (or shelf assigned bulk stops) on the shelves, you should be able to get 35-40 packages per section easily (on an 800). That's 280-320 packages. Most trucks don't go out with more than that. If they do, likely 50-100+ packages are in bulk stops on the floor. [/QUOTE]
