One of the most effective types of pallet racking systems, dynamic push-back racking enables pallets to be stored over four deep. Pallets are placed in the front position and subsequent pallets are then added by ‘pushing back’ the front pallet.
To retrieve the pallets the procedure is reversed with the pallets returning to the picking face under gravity (due to the slightly sloped storage lanes).
This system makes excellent use of cubic and floor space and has the benefit of being accessible using most types of handling truck.
Stock rotation is based upon the last-in-first-out principle (LIFO) and as each product has a dedicated lane it is ideal for load marshalling. Push-back warehouse racking is ideal for storing medium turnover products and is an excellent solution for those looking to make the best use of space and time.
A pallet live system is able to achieve some of the densest forms of storage with a guaranteed stock rotation.
Working on a (FIFO) first-in-first-out basis, the pallets are stored in a block system. The system requires separate aisles for input and output operations, and the system is accessible using most types of forklift trucks.
The pallets are loaded at one side onto lanes of sloping rollers which are set at a fixed gradient. They then roll forward under gravity to be retrieved at the picking face. When a pallet is removed the next pallet rolls into position, making excellent use of the available space.
Mobile racking is an excellent option when floor space is at a premium. It looks and operates like standard racking, but is mounted on mobile bases, so the structure moves left to right, condensing the aisles
This provides high-density storage as aisles do not need to be open. Essentially, once the racking is loaded, the aisle width can be reduced to nothing, with one aisle left open. The bases are mounted on rails and are operated electronically via a control panel or remote control. The system ensures 100% pallet selectivity at all times.
Mobile racking is an ideal solution for products which require specific storage conditions, such as refrigeration or deep-freeze, where it is important to make optimal use of every cubic metre of temperature-controlled air. Rack rows can be moved individually or, to save time, as a complete block.
