If the next selected package is taller than the primary shelf, what should you do?

• A. Start a New Shelf
• B. Load On The Same Shelf
• C. Place On Top of the Wall
• D. Skip the Package

Answer: (A)

When a package is taller than the current shelf, you create a new shelf level to place it. This keeps everything within safe stacking limits, preserves stability, and ensures the item is accessible without forcing it onto a shelf that can’t accommodate its height. Forcing a tall package onto the same shelf risks tipping, damage, and obstructing other items. Placing it on top of a wall isn’t a proper storage method and introduces a fall hazard. Skipping the package would disrupt workflow and tracking, so starting a new shelf is the correct approach.
