German term

Warenfenster

German to English Tech/Engineering Transport / Transportation / Shipping warehouses
A list with characteristic data for storage systems (high bay warehouses)

"1 Regalbediengerät für Ladungsträger; 396 Ladungsträger für je 2 *Warenfenster*"

It is only a list, no images, and the term appears only once, so I cannot give any more context.

I have not been able to find much about this at all. Any help appreciated :-)
Proposed translations (English)
3 +1 maximum (workpiece) size
2 +2 storage bay

Think about it as a goods slot.
Coqueiro Mar 8, 2011:
positions for pallets perhaps
Helen Shiner Mar 8, 2011:
@ Kerstin Isn't this though about the stock, the Warenfenster, that is housed there and moved by these cranes?
Kerstin Green (asker) Mar 8, 2011:
@ Helen No, this is definitely about warehouses in an industrial context. The 'Regalbediengeräte' are stacker cranes, by the way.
Helen Shiner Mar 8, 2011:
A possibility I wonder whether this simply means shop windows, i.e. windows for shop/store fronts? The stores themselves are Warenhäuser.

agree Helen Shiner : I think this is the most likely explanation. A sort of window of opportunity!
