French term or phrase: vélo
LA CHARGE :

• La charge palettisée n’excède pas 1.000 kilogrammes
• La hauteur ne dépasse pas 1.850 mm et doit se rapprocher de la taille des cases de stockage des entrepôts du Distributeur fixée -support compris- à : 2.220 mm (en stockage pour le bazar et le vélo) 1.850 mm, 1.350 mm, 750 mm. Des dérogations sont envisageables, en particulier, pour les produits volumineux après accord préalable du Distributeur
• Les ½ palettes, ½ box ou autres modules sont chargés sur des supports palettes normalisés et manutentionnables au chariot rétractable tout en assurant la stabilité de la charge. Les ½ palettes et les ½ box gerbés sur une palette porteuse doivent être rendus solidaires par cerclage ou filmage.

I am not able to understand :en stockage pour le bazar et le vélo

Explanation:
It appears the distributor has defined dimensions for storage of different kinds of articles. For whatever reason, anything related to bicycles may be up to the largest dimension (width, presumably) mentioned. To a certain extent it makes sense since bike frames are the length they are, and if the bike is supplied assembled, the wheels make the package even longer. But these days you can get TV screens that size!

I take back my "width" comment.
Pallet loads may not exceed 1850mm in height.
Storage spaces come in different heights, but they don't want small pallet loads (height-wise) being placed in "tall" storage areas : waste of space since you can't stack pallet loads.
And of course you need a free space above the pallet, when it is on its shelf, so it can be lifted and removed. You can therefore put an 1850mm high pallet in a 2200mm high "box" and have clearance of 370mm.

Explanation:
I hope this isn't a trick question - I understand: A storage area for general clutter (or perhaps a better word) and a bike..

neutral  Tony M: A word of warning! In retailing, 'bazar' doesn't have the colloquial meaning you suggest, it's a quite specific product range.

agree  Tony M: Seems in fact to be talking about height, which would certainly make sense with a bikes standing on end (otherwise it would overhang a standard pallet) / And things like floor-standing 'psyche' mirrors, kit furniture, ...

  -> And I imagine "bazar" covers things like those Indian wooden screens. Offhand I can't think of another "bazar" item that big.
