Did you know that there are 6 main types of pallet racks?
Conventional Pallet Racks
> simple & easy
The most universal system for direct and single access to each pallet.
This system is the optimal solution for warehouses with palletised products and a wide variety of SKUs.
Features:
Highly adaptive as the shelves can be fitted to any type of product.
Perfect for warehouses with high goods movement and rotation.
Adapts to almost any requirement.
Drive-in Pallet Racks
> store high quantities of similar products.
Designed for the storage of homogenous products.
This system is based on the “‘storage by accumulation principle”.
Enables the highest use of available space in terms of both area and height.
Features:
Fork-lift accessible.
Eliminate aisles in a warehouse facility.
For products that use the same entry and exit point for each rack.
Maximum-density storage.
Product or pallets may be stored in lanes up to six or more positions deep on the rack.
Did you know that prices can be decreased by 15%
via auctions on the platform?
Mobile Pallet racks
> mobility for storage
Designed to maximize the use of warehouse storage space.
Can reduce your pallet storage area in half, or double the capacity of your pallet rack storage in the same floor area.
It is an ideal solution if you intend to store large or heavy goods.
Features:
Shelving units are installed over guided mobile bases that slide laterally
Eliminate the need for aisles, which opens-up only when accessed.
The operator gives the order to automatically open the unit, either by remote control or manually (using a switch).
The mobile bases have motors, sliders, and several safety systems to guarantee a safe and efficient operation.
Pallet Shuttle
> cost-effective and time-saving
Semi-automated, high-density storage solution for the handling of goods inside channels.
Allows easy loading and unloading of goods.
Removes the need for forklift trucks to enter the aisles.
Features:
Shuttle driven by an electric motor.
Pallets run on rails inside the storage channels.
Considerably reducing operating times.
Enabling items to be grouped by channels rather than complete lanes.
Did you know that assembly teams can be waiting
for your equipment and assemble on the day of its arrival?
Live pallet racking
> storage using gravity
Ideal system for warehouses of perishable goods.
Can also be used in any industry or distribution business.
The pallets are put in at the highest part of the rolling section and move by the force of gravity and at a controlled speed towards the other end.
Features:
The slope is normally between 2.3 and 3 degrees.
(depending on weights and distances)
Incorporate roller track sections placed on a sloped lane.
Allow the pallets to slide over roller tracks.
Push back pallet racks
> Last in First out system
Designed around the principle of organizing space by depth rather than width.
Depth arrangement for greatly reducing aisle space and increases storage density.
Each bay can be up to four pallets deep.
Each pallet is stored on wheeled carts that fit onto rails.
Features:
Last In First Out (LIFO) system.
Rails are slightly angled toward the load/unload side of the rack.
Takes advantage of gravity.
Saving enormous amounts of energy for moving heavy pallets.
Push-back is ideal for storing medium-turnover products, with two or more pallets per SKU.
