I was curious about something I heard today from an offsite storage vendor.
The vendor indicated that some records centers are  stacking and storing 4
boxes high. It was also indicated that 4 high is "industry standard".

I'm currently without my copy of the Robeck et all book, the ARMA records
center handbook, and, of course the ARMA Records Storage Task Force
documentation. But, I don't recall that 4 high has ever been an industry
"standard".  Maybe when items are on pallets and shrink wrapped, 4 high may
be "standard" (e.g. 40 per pallet), but in terms of items stored on shelves,
 I'm recalling that the optimum is no more than 3 high on shelves, but that
2 high is preferable.

Anyway, I wanted to see what the list serv members think about 4 high
storage being "standard" and if their storage vendors are doing this.
