Many warehouses require storage for palletized materials that categorized by a wide range of product numbers. In most cases, these warehouses also need to control their stock by accessing each pallet by individual product directly and quickly. For these facilities, we recommend the use of conventional bulk storage racks. These racks can be purchased in either used or new condition, and they can be built either single-depth or double-depth in nature. Double-depth storage racks are ideal for tight spaces where pallets have to be placed one in front of the other on each side of the aisle.
Storage rack systems can make your garage look like a showroom. Older systems came in steel, aluminium or pressed wood. While they looked professional, they were heavy, expensive and hard to handle. Storage rack systems can be used for large or small tools, equipment and supplies depending on the types of accessories you mount on the wall. You can also get a variety of sizes and styles of bins, hooks, strap hooks, shelves, and racks specifically designed to hold sporting equipment like tennis racquets and balls, golf equipment, baseball gloves and bats, and bicycles.
Warehouse is already bursting at the seams with too many products organized in too poor a fashion, push-back bulk storage racks are ideal space savers that also bring an added time management benefit to the table. This is because material handling specialists build these racks with trolleys that move along rolling rails that are slightly inclined. When a pallet is removed from one end, the others slide down slightly to fill the gap.
Storage centre that have high numbers of pallets per article type and experience low levels of turnover for homogeneous products, drive-in racking can efficiently consolidate up to 85% of previously wasted storage space. One way that drive-in bulk storage racks accomplish this is by eliminating aisle space between racks, allowing the racks themselves to hold as many article types as there are loading aisles.
In other instances, a warehouse dealing with perishable items (such as food products or pharmaceuticals), may require rapid removal of pallets from the racking system.
For these companies, live bulk storage racks are often the key to space management and time to market efficiency. Live storage systems use gravity inclined flow racks that allow pallets to slide down to other side of the deck at a controlled, predictable pace. This facilitates safe and rapid pallet turnover and is a remarkable time saver when punch-out time rolls around, and the job has been finished early with no need for costly overtime.
When a warehouse needs to reduce the number of aisles between racks, increase its total capacity, AND maintain individual, direct access to each and every pallet; it normally needs a mobile bulk storage rack. This type of racking system sits on a motorized base that is equipped with electronic mobility and safety devices that can be either manually operated or controlled remotely from a computer.
They are as big as warehouses themselves because they can be erected prior to a warehouse being built. In fact, most of these enormous storage systems actually link up with the frame and roofing clad of a building as it later built around the rack. The only limit to the size of such a system is local building codes and the reach of lift cranes or forklifts.
