Spanish term or phrase: estiba

A little help with "estiba" in the below context, please:

Las señales se deben colocar en lugares visibles de manera que no queden ocultas y de acuerdo a lo
siguiente:
a) en caso de que se emplee una sola sustancia química peligrosa en todo el almacén, se puede señalizar
por área o por recipiente;
b) para una misma sustancia química peligrosa en una estiba, se puede señalizar la estiba, su área o los
recipientes;
c) para diferentes sustancias químicas peligrosas compatibles, en un mismo anaquel o estiba, las opciones
serán:
1) señalizar cada uno de los recipientes;
2) señalizar las partes del anaquel o las áreas de la estiba.

This relates to standards related to hazardous chemical substances in the workplace.

Thanks.

of course pallets can be and are usually stacked, but we are talking about pallets here.

I see this comes from

I think the real problem here is that estiba has multiple meanings. It can mean to stow, for example, probably it's most common meaning, as in stevedore, usually in a maritime context.

Another similar definition is
Estiba: la colocación y fi jación de los
bultos sobre el vehículo.

And of course it also means pallet.

In this situation you have to look at the context. Here, for example it says
" para diferentes sustancias químicas peligrosas compatibles, en un mismo anaquel o estiba, las opciones"

An anaquel is a ledge, shelf, rack. In this context pallet makes perfect sense, whereas stack is too loose and vague a term. On the same shelf/rack or pallet? On the same shelf/rack or stack? Common sense suggests the former, in my view.

Charles Davis: Sometimes words can have more than one meaning. You have documented this one sufficiently and I think it fits the context. "Stack" seems less convincing here, though no doubt "estiba" can mean that (it can also mean e.g. a place where you compress wool)
