1. Uslovi okoline su takođe važan faktor. Većina skladišta radi pod-klimatikom i rasvjetom. U slučaju ekstremnih temperaturnih uvjeta potrebna je posebna upotreba kaiševa, ležajeva i pogonskih jedinica. Iako je skladište u relativno čistom okruženju, transportni sistem će možda morati da poveže čistiji prostor sa surovim okruženjem (kao što je kutija za otpadni papir). Neke stavke moraju biti izolovane na osnovu zdravstvenih i sigurnosnih faktora. Ovi faktori će takođe uticati na dizajn transportnog sistema i skladišnog prostora.
All goods handling equipment require different levels of maintenance. For gravity systems, regular inspections are usually only required to ensure that the rollers rotate normally. In more complex systems, the manufacturer should provide regular maintenance measures. Generally, companies have fixed maintenance personnel for expensive manufacturing equipment, but they don't think there is such a need for the equipment in the warehouse and ignore it. In fact, in the preliminary planning stage, for the complex handling system, the maintenance cost must be included in the procurement budget, and the maintenance requirements must also be included in the system selection and evaluation considerations.

Because the surface of the conveyed goods is in direct contact with the conveyor, the characteristics of the goods directly affect the choice of equipment and the design of the system. The characteristics of the conveyed items, including size, weight, surface characteristics (soft or hard), processing speed, packaging method and center of gravity, are all factors to be considered.
