Modular Storage

Panel Size Rational

Proposed Final Panel Size:

Hardware
~1
48

50 x 50
50lbs

1. A standard pallet is ~45x45

the panels can be stacked on pallets to move them around the warehouse or job site
and to load them into/out of trucks
2. With added inset handles, panels can be transported around the job site by one person
3. When in hexagon formation the minimum dimension across the foot print is ~67.9.
A standard excavator requires maximum 64 to completely empty its bucket
the bucket can be emptied into the container without changing the swing of the bucket
48
67.9

64
4. When the storage container is filled with one layer of panels (4 tall) the volume=166ft3.
Crushed concrete density = 100lbs/ft3, weight = 16628lbs=8.5tons
A standard excavator can lift ~10tons
Filled storage can be lifted and moved around the job site
5. One bucket of material on standard 2 bucket excavator = 0.47yds3
13 bucket fulls / storage container
Good ratio between filling time and time to move storage
