Free warehouse and logistics layout blocks for AutoCAD (DWG): racking, pallets, forklifts, conveyors, docks

About the sizes

Warehouse equipment is not standardised as a drawing, so the blocks use the sizes that suppliers commonly list: EUR pallets 1200 x 800 mm, GMA pallets 48 x 40 in, rack bays 1800 to 3300 mm long and 900 or 1100 mm deep, counterbalance trucks 1.5 to 5 t, roller conveyors 500 to 800 mm wide, a 13.6 m trailer, 20 and 40 ft containers. Check the sizes against your supplier's data before you order.

The blocks are our own drawings, not copies of any catalogue, and the library is not certified. They are meant to plan the arrangement, count positions and check clearances on a drawing, not to prove that a layout meets fire, rack safety, load or traffic rules. Take aisle widths, rack loads and safety distances from the rules and the suppliers' data that apply to your site.

Frequently asked questions

Which items are in the library?

Pallet racking, pallets and unit loads, shelving and storage, handling equipment, conveyors, docks and vehicles, packing and shipping, automation, safety and traffic, charging and utilities, and layout markers. The page above lists every group with its count.

Can I use the racks for any pallet size?

The racks are drawn as bays with a length and a depth; the dashed pallets show where an EUR pallet sits. For another pallet size, explode the block and change the dashed outlines, or use the empty bay and add the pallet block you need.

Can I use the symbols in commercial projects?

Yes. They are free to use and modify in your own projects, including commercial ones. They are provided as is, without warranty.

Does it show that an aisle is wide enough for a truck?

No. The truck blocks show the plan size of a typical truck, which you can drag along an aisle to see the clearance, but the real working aisle width depends on the truck, the load and the rules that apply. Take it from the supplier's data and your local regulations.

Can I change a symbol or add attributes?

Yes. Open the DWG, edit a block with BEDIT to change it or add attributes, and save. To update drawings that already contain the block, run ATTSYNC or replace the block. Make a backup first: attribute values can be lost if ATTSYNC is used carelessly.

Where do I find a ready-made set of these symbols for AutoCAD?

AutoCAD itself ships only a small set of sample blocks, so a full symbol set has to come from a library. Download the ZIP on this page and open the DWG: every symbol is a block. Insert one with INSERT (Blocks palette, Libraries tab, then pick the DWG) or drag it from DesignCenter (ADCENTER). You can also download a single symbol on its own.
