Storage Systems
Selective Pallet Racks
Selective pallet racks are the most common racking design offered by many manufacturers. They are typically the backbone that supports storage within the warehouse environment. They can be used as a stand-alone for pallet storage or as part of a complex engineered system for carton flow, pallet flow or picking modules.
Double Deep Selective Pallet Racks
Double deep selective pallet racks are used in Narrow Aisle (NA) applications where storage levels can yield as much as 25-60% more storage than standard Selective Pallet Rack. Typical NA applications operate with 8'-10' aisles and require specialized NA equipment. Double deep selective systems incorporate double deep reach trucks where an extended reach mechanism allows storage for pallets two deep.
Drive-In Pallet Rack
Drive-in pallet racks offer a cost effective solution to high-density storage. This static system has rails running the depth of the rack for pallet placement. The only limitation to the depth of pallet storage is the capability to drive deep within the system. The rack depth reduces the need for aisles and drastically increases cubed space utilization.
Push-Back Pallet Rack
Push-back pallet racks typically store product from 2-5 pallets deep, with front-only loading from a single aisle. Push-bak rack offers more versatile storage than drive-in rack because each lane flows independently and vertical storage operates separately from lanes below. Multiple pick facings for a variety of SKUs can be stored and retrieved without disturbing other product above or below in a single-lane or double-lane format.
Pallet Flow Rack
Pallet flow rack is perfect for fast-moving product with First-In/First-Out (FIFO) stock rotation. Gravity flow rollers and/or skate wheels on sloped shelves allow palletized loads to flow forward for picking. The high-density storage utilitizes space with fewer aisles. Pallet flow can send pallets through standard pallet rack or to carton flow systems consisting of multi-level picking modules to split loads into boxes or piece parts. Warehouse floor space utilization can be maximized with fewer aisles by storing pallets back to back. Unlike in static systems such as drive-in racking, product flows back to a picking position and is easily accesible to the operator.
Automated Storage & Retrieval (AS/RS)
AS/RS technology minimizes labor and required floor space while maximizing the utilization of existing vertical space. These machines handle a wide range of loads and provide the latest in mechanical structures for extended life.
