STORAGE COSTS:
The sum total of all costs associated with storage. It includes
inventory costs, warehouse costs, administrative costs, deterioration
costs, insurance, and taxes.
STORAGE EFFICIENCY:
The measurement of quantity of product which can be stored on a fixed
amount of space.
STORAGE SLOT:

mechanism) capable of transporting and tiering a load. It is able to
traverse the load laterally for storage at right angles to the truck
travel path.
TACTILE AWARENESS:
The ergonomic concept of designing controls that are different enough in
shape and form that touch alone may be used to differentiate one from
another.
TELESCOPING MAST:
A multiple mast which permits maximum lifts substantially greater than
the OACH. This is accomplished with one stationary member and other
members which move vertically with respect to the stationary member and
support the fork carriage in its vertical movement.
TETHER:
A component that attaches the safety belt to the operator's work
platform.
THREE-STAGE MAST:
A fork truck mast assembly comprised of (1) stationary mainframe and (2)
moving telescopics.
THROUGHPUT:
1. The rate at which incoming orders arrive at the warehouse. 2. Rate at
which lines represented by cards or as line data are picked and shipped.
3. Level of workload activity measured in loads per unit of time,
normally loads per day or loads per hour.
TIER:
A single layer of packages forming part of a unit load.
TIERING:
The process of placing one load on or above another (See also Bulk
Storage).
TILT:
The function of altering the angle of the forks or the mast of a lift
truck, to cradle the load or facilitate its deposit.
TOTE:
Portable container for storing & transporting merchandise.
TOW TRACTOR:
A powered industrial truck designed primarily to draw one or more
trailers or other mobile loads.
TT:
Three stage mast designator with one fixed stage and two telescoping
stages.
TURNING RADIUS (OUTSIDE):
Half the diameter of the largest circle described by the outermost
projection of a truck when driving slowly with the steering mechanism at
the optimum steering angle.
TURNOVER:
The frequency with which the total inventory of an item is shipped.
Turnover is usually expressed as the number of turns per year.
TURRET TRUCK:
See Swing-Reach Truck.
TWO-STAGE MAST:
A fork truck mast assembly comprised of (1) stationary main frame and
(1) moving telescopic assembly
UL RATING:
See Underwriters' Laboratories Listing.
UL RATING TYPE E:
Electrically powered trucks that have minimal acceptable safeguards
against inherent fire hazards.
UL RATING TYPE EE:
Electrically powered trucks that have, in addition to all of the
requirements for the E and ES units, the electric motors and all other
electric components completely enclosed.
UL RATING TYPE ES:
Electrically powered trucks that, in addition to all of the requirements
of the E units, are provided with additional safeguards to the
electrical system to prevent emission of hazardous sparks and to limit
surface temperatures
UNDER CLEARANCE:
The distance, in inches, from floor to the underside of the truck.
UNDERWRITERS'
LABORATORIES LISTING (UL):
A list of truck models complying with the requirements of Underwriter's
Laboratories, an independent testing agency. Used by insurance companies
to determine the premium rate for insurance coverage for various areas
of operation.
UNIT LOAD:
An assembly of unit or units that can be transported or stored in a
single move.
UNIT LOAD SIZE:
Description of load including length, width and height dimensions.
UNIT LOAD WEIGHT:
The overall weight of the unit load including the weight of the pallet
or container.
UNIVERSAL
PRICE CODE (UPC):
See Bar Code
UPRIGHT:
Section of the elevating section that pertains to the outside main frame
and telescopic(s).
VERY
NARROW AISLE LIFT TRUCK (VNA):
Trucks that typically operate in clear aisles of approximately 5 feet.
VISIBILITY:
This is the number one priority in ergonomic work space design due to
its contribution to efficient operation and operator safety.
VNA:
Very Narrow Aisle.
VOLTAGE:
A measure of battery potential, stated in volts.
WALKIE:
A category of (Low-Lift and High-Lift) trucks controlled by a walking
operator.
WALKIE HIGH LIFT:
Pedestrian-controlled reach and straddle lift trucks.
WALKIE RIDER:
Same as a Walkie, but equipped for rider-operation as well as pedestrian
control. Very popular for ground-level orderpicking off pallets.
WHEEL BASE:
The dimension between the center line of the axle of the wheels located
to the rear of the truck and the center line of the axle of the wheels
located on the front of the truck.
WHEEL LOADING:
The measurement used to determine the effect the truck axle loading has
on the floor on which it operates. There are two types of measurement:
Force: concentrated reaction per tire, in pounds, exerted by wheel on
the floor. P.S.I.: the wheel loading, in pounds, divided by the wheel
contact area in square inches.
WHEEL TRACK:
The overall width dimension of the widest pair of wheels on a vehicle.
WIRE GUIDANCE:
An electromechanical system that controls vehicle steering while
tracking an energized guidewire secured in the floor.
WIRE GUIDE:
An electronic control system that provides automatic steering of a
vehicle while it is being used in a storage aisle.
WORK FLOW:
The logical and efficient progression of the order assembly process.
WORK IN PROCESS (WIP):
Products that are in the process of being manufactured; incomplete
products.
WORKSTATION:
The area where the worker waits for the pick face to arrive in order to
perform the order picking task (Carousels). A mobile work station would
deliver the worker to the pick face (order picking vehicle).
Z PICK:
Picking slots are numbered so that the order picker's walk pattern, if
he/she was picking from every slot, would be ahead four locations,
across the aisle and back two locations, ahead four, across the aisle
and back two - and so on. In many operations this arrangement yields an
optimum actual walk pattern for the order picker.
ZONE:
A designated area; defined location. A systematic division of a storage
or pick area.
ZONE PICK:
1. The picking of products from a given area by a worker or order picker.
2. Method used to pick product by dividing warehouse into segments with
order picking personnel confined to each segment.
ZONES:
Areas that are picked by a given number of order pickers.
ZONING:
Organization of product by family and size, or by activity.
