Benefits
Almost any warehouse environment - Used to utilize vertical warehouse space when the product has limited stacking capability
Systems composed of steel uprights and beams that allow vertical storage of pallets (typically 2 pallets per level per bay)
Maintain ability to select specific pallets required, control FIFO, and utilize vertical space
Single Select Pallet Racking
LOW
Very dense storage solution that allows operators to reduce footprint for storage. This solution also eliminates travel aisles, reducing time to transport pallets across the facility
Racking systems that eliminate aisles –
Items without strict FIFO requirements that have high quantities of pallets per SKU
Drive-in Racking
specialized equipment is used to drive inside of the rack structure itself to pull out pallets
MEDIUM
VNA racking allows you to minimize the amount of space dedicated to travel aisles, reducing warehouse square footage requirements by approximately 20%*
Racking that is designed to be pushed very close together so that only a piece of equipment can fit between racking bays
Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) Racking
Workswell for items that are stored at the case level in hand stack racking
Shuttle- based
Similar to drive in racking concept except that pallets are retrieved by automated “pallet shuttles” that automatically retrieve pallets and bring them forward for selection
One of the most dense storage options, can reduce square footage significantly and reduce need for powered industrial trucks
Automated Storage and Retrieval (AS/RS)
SKUs with large quantities of pallets per SKU
