Pallet Racking is a storage system that is designed to store materials on pallets (also referred to as “skids”). Pallet racking, and all of it’s forms, increase storage capacity per square meter of floor space in any of the environments that it’s applied. These systems are in common use and ideal for:

Carton flow rack is a storage system where cartons are fed from one side of an aisle, and retrieved from the other. This system uses roller bed shelves.

Pallet flow rack – much like carton flow racking – is a storage system where pallets are fed from one side, and retrieved from the other. As each load is removed, the pallet load behind moves forward automatically to the picking position. This system is ideal for rotating perishables or date-sensitive inventory. This system uses a combination of rails and wheels. The rails are built on a slight incline, higher on the side that is fed, so that the pallets move forward when they are loaded into the system.

Push back racking is an excellent choice for warehouses that are looking for a high density storage system, which is typically not found in other pallet racking options.

As a pallet is loaded from the front, it pushes the pallet behind it back one position. The front pallet is removed when unloading and the rear pallets automatically come forward to the front picking position. This allows for easily accessible Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) inventory management. Operators can store product from 2-5 pallets deep, with front-only loading from a single aisle. Push Back Rack offers more versatile storage than Drive-In rack because each lane flows independently and vertical storage operates separately from lanes below.

Drive-In, or Drive-Through Racking are two more common forms of pallet racking each with their own unique application characteristics although both are cost-effective solution to high-density storage.

Drive-In Pallet Racking Systems load and retrieve from the same side, creating Last-in-First-Out (LIFO) inventory retrieval organization.

Drive-Out Pallet Racking Systems load from one side and unload from the other to create First-in-First-Out (FIFO) inventory retrieval forklifts can entire from either aisle.

The purpose of a Pick Module Storage System is to optimize product flow in a warehouse. Pick Modules utilize pallet and carton flow racks through a storage rack system to expedite the order fulfillment process.

Pick Module are designed for high volume applications. Pick Module pallet racks are perfect for full and split case picking. Pick modules can be stacked 3-4 levels high often with conveyors integrated to the rack system. Modules will often incorporate carton flow, pallet flow, pushback and combinations for custom material handling.

Ideal For Long Loads

Another form of pallet racking is “cantilever racking”. The benefit or purpose of cantilever racking is to both increase selectivity as well as space efficiency where long loads are stored.

A cantilever rack allows you to use your warehouse space more efficiently - you do not need to waste horizontal space with awkward posts and columns obstructing valuable storage areas.

Rolled form racking is made from rolls of flattened steel. This roll of steel is gradually straightened and bent into its desired shape by sending it through a roll forming machine which gets its name from the many rollers gradually bending this metal into its desired shape.

Structural components are made from heavier, cast steel and can provide higher load capacities. Since structural components are bolted together, they can take slightly more labor to install. However require less maintenance.

An Automatic Pallet System uses robotic equipment for handling loads; types and operation of Stacker cranes vary according to the unit load to be handled. This pallet racking system is high density , given the reduction of working aisles and the maximization of footprint and height; quick, as it reduces response times and improves productivity by using automatic stacker cranes; and reliable, as it allows for a daily inventory of stored products and minimizes errors when handling unit loads.

Mezzanine Storage Systems, allows you to utilize your warehouse to its maximum height with the ability to double or triple your storage capacity. Mezzanines can be the most economical way to increase your warehouse space without the cost of moving into a larger building. Advantages of having a mezzanine storage system area:

Medium Duty Racks are absolute storage system perfect for warehouse and industrial applications. These characteristically include automotive and other spare hardware, parts, bulk retail, and common purposes carton and archive storage.

The Medium Duty Storage Racks can be configured to accommodate a wide range of storage requirements. These racks are suitable for storage of small boxes and cartons. Further, these racks are available with adjustable shelving system along with the load bearing capacity upto 1.2 ton per level.

The Multi Tier Racking System is the optimal solution for manual storage where available space is limited. Therefore, this storage system is selective, as it allows immediate access to all unit loads and/or references stored; and versatile, given its adaptability to any type of unit load.

This storage system provides excellent maximization of height by creating different aisle load levels high which are accessed by means of stairs.
