Line Striping Drawings

The most common dimensions are in walkway widths (4ft), pallet lane widths (pallet type dependent plus the line width) and line widths (4”), but every facility is different and may need custom sizes.

OSHA provides the following:

“The lines used to delineate the aisles may be any color so long as they clearly define the area considered as aisle space. The lines may be composed of dots, square, strip or continuous, but they too must define the aisle area.

The recommended width of aisle markings varies from 2 inches to 6 inches; therefore, any width 2 inches or more is considered acceptable.

The recommended width of aisles is at least 3 feet wider than the largest equipment to be utilized, or a minimum of 4 feet.”

Standard Number: 1910.22(b) – Compliance with Aisle Markings (Part 1910.22(b)) – [Corrected April 17, 2009] – Read Compliance with Aisle Markings.

For the most accurate price and planning, it is best to give us as much as possible, having a drawing helps you visualize and us to plan and quote.  CAD are easiest as we can use them to pull measurements from, while PDF with measurements added is another great way to provide us with the information.

However, this is not essential, we can help with basic depictions or arrange for a partner firm to visit site and create a much more detailed drawing, contact us for pricing.

During the installation, our team on site can relay any updates or requests to the project team or support you with ideas and possibilities. They are experienced with this situation and will work with you to achieve the preferred outcome.  Our project and sales team will work remotely on re-planning, pricing and scheduling to maintain professional control.

After installation, again just let us know. We can remove, cover up and install most products during installation, and schedule for a return visit for amendments or additions.

Line widths are not critical, but there are several considerations to make, some are as follows:

• OSHA considers lines of 2 inches and greater to be acceptable to provide floor markings for aisles and passageways.
• Narrow lines become more difficult to see inside buildings.
• Four-inch-wide lines are standard through the logistics and distribution industry.
• Narrow lines wear out quicker as there is less paint on the floor.
• Very wide lines may need an anti-slip aggregate finish applied where moisture is present.

Other considerations:

• A more visible marking on the floor draws more attention and so heightens safety.
• The layout measurements must include line widths to ensure a pallet fits within the markings.  Pallets on markings can damage the line.
• A narrow line needs less material, so it is cheaper.
