Startup Kit
Startup Kit covers the first marked routes, bays and edge cues a plant needs to organise daily movement on site. It is suited to facilities that want a straightforward set-out before moving into a larger marking schedule or a wider traffic plan.
First route set on site
Startup Kit is the opening set for a floor that needs usable routes, bays or markings without overcomplicating the job. It suits plants that want a clear first layout for daily movement on site. This page gives the plain overview before you move to specifications.
Start with the surface, the vehicle mix and the points where people cross into work zones. Highveld dust, coastal humidity, wash-down areas and load-shedding all affect line choice, curing windows and how visible markings stay through a shift. The opening layout is usually built around receiving, despatch, storage edges and turning space at bays.
A Startup Kit works best when the first area is checked before pallets, cages or bins are shifted around. Site photos, bay names and forklift widths help fix the layout in plain terms for the next handover. That record matters on busy plants where day shift and night shift may use the same zone differently.
Included in the opening set
The kit is meant to establish the main movement pattern without filling the site with markings that no one uses. Typical elements include pedestrian routes, pallet staging bays, stop points and basic zone naming where traffic needs a clear read. It gives a usable starting arrangement that can be checked against daily movement before extra sections are added.
Use Startup Kit as the base layer before extending into more detailed plant marking across adjoining areas. Match the route names and bay references to your site file, then send photos and dimensions through the contact form. Include any fixed machinery, drains, door tracks or racking uprights that limit line placement.

Site conditions that affect marking
Many plants around Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town are working around existing racking, patched concrete and active loading areas rather than empty space. Older slabs at industrial sites can show dusting, repairs or worn sealers, which affects preparation and where lines hold best. Smaller operations may also need routes that respect trading access, shared yards or mixed pedestrian entry points.
Coastal sites often need extra attention near doors where moisture and grit build up. Inland plants can struggle more with dust on line visibility, especially near cutting, packing or bulk handling areas. Power interruptions also change when checks can happen, particularly where roller doors, conveyors or charging areas shape the route.

Site details needed first
Send a marked-up photo or simple sketch showing entry points, bays, machines and the route that is causing confusion. Add forklift type, pallet size and any section that cannot be closed off during marking. Clear site names help keep each area tied to the right record.

It helps to log the first layout while the area is still fresh from inspection. Pair this page with the project note and resource sheet when purchasing, maintenance or safety staff need one reference for the opening arrangement. That makes later extensions easier to compare against the original set-out.
