Know the capacity before you commit
Review the estimated number of pallet positions before the warehouse configuration and investment are finalized.
Warehouse Capacity Planning
Find the logistics warehouse configuration that delivers the best investment value.
MkaPEB helps owners, investors, consultants, and project teams evaluate different logistics warehouse configurations before making a final decision. It automatically determines an efficient pallet arrangement within the selected storage zones, calculates the total pallet capacity, and connects the results with the building design, structural quantities, and estimated project cost.
Why It Matters
The value of a logistics warehouse is determined by more than its floor area.
Two logistics warehouses with similar overall dimensions can provide very different pallet capacities. Building height, column layout, spacing between columns, roof form, pallet dimensions, and storage-cell height all influence how efficiently the available space can be used.
Compare practical warehouse alternatives
Evaluate different building heights, span lengths, column arrangements, pallet systems, and storage-cell options within the same project.
Measure the value of each change
Understand whether a modest increase in building cost can create a much greater increase in pallet capacity and long-term operational value.
A small change in warehouse geometry can unlock a significant increase in pallet capacity with a limited increase in project cost.
MkaPEB brings pallet capacity, building design, structural quantities, and
estimated cost together, helping owners and investors identify the logistics
warehouse configuration that offers the best overall investment value.
Visual Capacity Results
See how the available warehouse space is converted into pallet capacity.
MkaPEB shows the permitted storage zones, the generated pallet arrangement, and the estimated total pallet capacity so the result can be understood at a glance.

Total pallet capacity
The estimated number of pallet positions available in the selected configuration.
Usable storage zones
The bays and areas included in the capacity calculation.
Selected pallet system
The chosen regional pallet size and storage-cell height.
Alternative configurations
Different warehouse geometries can be recalculated and compared within seconds.
Warehouse Option Comparison
Compare storage capacity and estimated project cost side by side.
The connected MkaPEB workflow allows engineers to efficiently compare pallet capacity, structural quantities, estimated project cost, and potential rental revenue across different warehouse geometries. It provides owners and decision-makers with a clear technical and economic basis for identifying the warehouse configuration that delivers the best overall investment value.
| Warehouse option | Eave height | Roof slope | Span length | Pallet capacity | Estimated project cost | Estimated rental revenue* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Option 1 | 9.5 m | 12% | 30 m | 5,040 | Base | €40 k/month |
| Option 2 | 10.5 m | 12% | 30 m | 5,544 | +2% | €44 k/month |
| Option 3 | 11.0 m | 12% | 30 m | 6,048 | +3% | €48 k/month |
| Option 4 | 11.0 m | 19% | 30 m | 6,048 | +4% | €48 k/month |
| Option 5 | 12.0 m | 12% | 30 m | 6,300 | +5% | €50 k/month |
| Option 6 ✓ Selected | 12.0 m | 19% | 30 m | 6,804 | +7% | €54 k/month |
| Option 7 | 12.5 m | 12% | 30 m | 6,804 | +8% | €54 k/month |
- Option 4 compared with Option 3: increasing the roof slope from 12% to 19% increases the estimated project cost, while the pallet capacity remains unchanged at 6,048 positions.
- Option 6 compared with Option 5: increasing the roof slope from 12% to 19% increases the pallet capacity from 6,300 to 6,804 positions and raises the estimated rental revenue from approximately €50 k/month to €54 k/month.
- Option 7 compared with Option 6: the taller 12.5 m eave height results in the same 6,804-pallet capacity and the same estimated rental revenue, but at a higher estimated project cost.
