Mobile Pallet Racking

Mobile pallet racking is a high-density storage system that offers easy access for conventional forklift pallets. Its flexibility allows it to adapt to both the type of load and the type of forklift used. A set of technical and organizational safety measures are implemented to ensure that the movement of the shelving does not present any risk. The characteristics of the mobile racking system make it an excellent choice for cold storage and deep-freeze units, as it reduces the overall volume that needs to be cooled.

How Mobile Pallet Racking Working ?

The Mobile Bases System for pallets is designed to optimize space in the shelving facility, significantly boosting warehouse capacity. This system is highly dense because it removes the individual access aisles typical of conventional racking systems, leaving only one aisle available. In Mobile Pallet Racking, the required aisle for operation is automatically created using electric motors and movable components installed at the base of the racking. The operator initiates the opening process via remote control. The operator has two main modes to choose from when controlling the system:
  • Automatic or Opening Mode: By compacting the racking blocks against each other, space can be opened for the work aisle where loading or unloading of pallets is required.
  • Night Setting Mode: All aisles in the installation open evenly and with a uniform but reduced width between them, improving air circulation within cold storage rooms.
Being a compact system, the Mobile Pallet Racking minimizes the area occupied by the storage system, making it ideal for situations where floor space is expensive or when increased storage capacity is needed without expanding the surface area. This system is particularly effective in reducing the total volume of installations, which is crucial for use in refrigerated and freezer chambers at medium and low heights. The energy savings associated with this system can lead to a quick return on investment. read more: For a comprehensive understanding of efficient warehouse storage, it's essential to explore various pallet racking systems

Advantages of mobile pallet racking

The benefits of mobile pallet racking stem from its ability to maximize space utilization while still providing direct access to all unit loads. Flexibility: Industrial mobile racking can be adapted to accommodate any space, weight, or size of goods, and it integrates well with other automatic or conventional storage systems. Efficient Space Utilization: This high-density storage system increases storage capacity within the same footprint. Energy Efficiency: The system optimizes lighting and minimizes the space that needs to be cooled. Only the open aisle is illuminated, and once the rack is fully loaded, the lighting for that row is automatically turned off. Quick Access: Direct access to any stored pallet reduces time spent retrieving items. Ideal for Cold Storage: The system is perfect for refrigeration chambers or deep-freeze units due to the reduced volume that needs to be cooled. It also allows for air circulation. In "night-time configuration" mode, all aisles open uniformly with a consistent but narrower width, enhancing air circulation within refrigeration chambers.
  • Reduced Handling Time: Operators can quickly select the required aisle using a remote control, reducing forklift maneuvering time.
  • Support for Picking Operations: Picking tasks can be performed on lower levels with ease.
  • Compatibility: The same type of forklift used in adjustable pallet racking zones can be used in this system.
  • Lower Operating Costs: The system's efficient use of space leads to reduced operating expenses.

Main Applications of Mobile Pallet Racking

Mobile pallet racking is an excellent compaction system and is particularly beneficial for customers with the following storage needs:
  • Space Optimization: Ideal for warehouses where space is limited or where the cost per square meter is high.Direct Access: Suitable for
  • warehouses that require direct access to each unit load.
  • Low-Turnover Goods: Well-suited for storing goods that do not have a high turnover rate.
  • Cold Storage: Perfect for cold rooms or freezing chambers due to its high-density storage and the effective temperature distribution it allows, especially in night mode.

Structure of Mobile Shelving Systems

The foundation of mobile pallet racking is built on adjustable pallet racking, which is a straightforward structure composed of frames, beams, and accessories. However, what sets this system apart is the inclusion of specific elements that enable the racking to be mobile. Key components for its operation as a mobile racking system include a main control unit, laser barriers on the mobile base and front protection, floor rails, and buttons for starting and checking the aisles. This mobile pallet racking system is particularly well-suited for cold storage rooms and freezing chambers, whether at low or medium heights.
