Types of Storage Systems

(Drive-in) Storage System

This is a storage system characterized by extremely high density, reducing aisle space to increase storage capacity. This allows forklifts to have direct access to shelves for loading and unloading products. This system utilizes up to 70% of warehouse space, is easily movable, and allows for structural changes according to storage needs. It aligns with the FIFO (First In, First Out) model, making it preferable for storing a single type of product where forklifts find it challenging to have direct access to other products.

(Pallet Racking System)

Pallet Racking is an innovative system designed to facilitate the storage and organization of materials on shelves, allowing warehouses to maximize available space. This system includes a variety of types, arranging materials in horizontal rows with multiple levels. Pallet Racking efficiently utilizes vertical space, improving warehouse organization and facilitating access to stored materials. Forklifts are primarily used to load and unload materials on shelves, increasing operational efficiency and saving time in stock-picking operations. Pallet Racking has become a fundamental element in most modern warehouses, manufacturing facilities, retail centers, and other storage and distribution locations. It contributes to increasing the density of storing various goods in warehouses, leading to effective inventory management and improving the efficiency of storage and distribution operations.

Types of Pallet Racking

Pallet Racking is available in various styles and capacities to suit warehouse needs. There are many types of Pallet Racking, with the most common and widely used being Selective Pallet Racking. This is due to its ease of assembly and flexibility in mixing and matching brands. These systems are called "selective" because they allow users to select any load on a mobile platform from the Pallet Racking system and unload it without the need to move any other mobile platforms. Selective Pallet Racking systems provide users with the most flexible and cost-effective storage options, depending on the cost position per mobile platform.

Selective Pallet Racks with Wide Aisles

The First In, First Out (FIFO) system allows access to all shelves, making it suitable for perishable inventory. There are other systems, like Last In, First Out (LIFO), which is excellent for non-perishable inventory. In LIFO, the first unit on the shelf must wait until all loaded units are removed. This system is not suitable for warehouses with perishable stock or those requiring continuous access to each mobile platform. It may also require increased space to accommodate a large number of different items.

Advantages of Selective Pallet Racks with Wide Aisles

• The selective pallet racking system is one of the most common and widely used shelf types, suitable for the majority of products or use in commodity warehouses.
• It features a fully assembled structure, random installations, and ease of assembly and disassembly, making it convenient and flexible.
• It comes with 100% optional picking properties, allowing handling machines to access any storage location, ensuring speed and ease of operations.
• It provides easy access to all products at all times, crucial in case of inventory depletion and the need for restocking.
• It has a high load-bearing capacity, and its height load can be adjusted flexibly.
• Selective pallet racking systems allow multiple forklifts or other equipment to work in the aisle simultaneously, helping enhance operational efficiency in the warehouse.

Narrow Aisle Pallet Racks

In a narrow aisle pallet rack system, shelves can be placed closely for loading and unloading using a side-loading forklift or handling with electric order pickers. This method allows making aisles extremely narrow, achieving efficient use of space. With pallet racks, rotation and access to inventory become easy, maximizing the quantity of stored products in the warehouse to the maximum. This system is an effective way to increase pallet storage within a specific area, taking advantage of selective rack features. It requires a special forklift, reducing aisle space by at least 40% compared to traditional forklifts, as the aisle width is very narrow for standard trucks to operate. However, this system still provides up to 100% selectivity and uses vertical space for platform storage, contributing to increased productivity and efficiency by saving time.

Advantages of Narrow Aisle Pallet Racking System

1. Increased storage capacity by minimizing aisle space.
2. Reduced wasted space by utilizing vertical height of the building.
3. Easy access to all platforms using lift trucks.
4. Less product damage and fewer picking errors compared to bulk stacking.

Cantilever Storage System

This system is an ideal solution for storing large or irregularly shaped goods, requiring a front column-free loading interface. It allows secure and easily accessible storage of such products. Besides maximizing storage space efficiency, goods can be stacked horizontally while maintaining individual product accessibility. This system is an effective solution for storing a variety of products such as furniture, building materials, pipes, heavy panels, hardware, and flooring. The system consists of vertical columns with attached horizontal arms, with optional end-stops. Products are stored horizontally on the arms, either manually or using a forklift. This system is designed flexibly to meet customer requirements, allowing storage on one or both sides of the shelves, with the ability to adjust and add additional arms as needed.

Gravity Storage System

This system relies on gravity flow to load, organize, and retrieve stored goods or shelves within the warehouse. It features increased space and improved efficiency, leading to enhanced productivity, as it doesn't require powered operation and relies on gravity to naturally facilitate the movement of goods. This system forms an inclined structure that allows shelves or goods to move in narrow aisles, facilitating their retrieval. This system is an effective solution in storage areas, specifically designed for products that need to be retrieved in the order they were received.

Pallet Shuttle System

This system is an efficient and semi-automatic solution for high-density pallet storage within similar aisles, whether based on push-back or pallet flow settings. It maximizes space utilization and adapts to any warehouse or storage configuration, allowing to maximize storage volume to the fullest and reduce working times for a compact system using automated storage systems. Goods are placed in multi-level aisles on rails and efficiently stored and retrieved from the racks. This system is a unique solution within storage solutions based on its effective use of space and flexibility, with lower energy consumption. It features a lightweight design and time-saving efficiency by eliminating the need for forklifts to enter the aisles. This system is part of high-efficiency systems and is an ideal solution for storing products that require low temperatures.

Mobile Pallet Racking System

This system is part of storage systems that offer storage capacity up to twice that of traditional pallet racks in the same space. Mobile shelves provide high-tech and complete flexibility, considered a comprehensive solution for storing all types of goods due to a wide range of accessories. This system is electronically controlled, with shelves on floor rails, allowing it to carry heavy loads at high shelf heights, making it ideal for use in cold storage areas. The wide selection of variable and movable control options ensures effective integration with cantilever systems and pallet racks. It is characterized by easy operation, absolute safety, and offers a variety of accessories, making it a comprehensive solution within storage solutions for various types of goods, providing direct access to shelves.
