Pallet racks are used to store and retrieve pallets, mesh boxes and containers. They exist in different variants and offer different advantages depending on the type. In the classic version, the pallet rack is inexpensive and can be used flexibly. In narrow-aisle high-bay racking, pallets can be stacked up to 18 metres high to save space, and in drive-in racking, the palletised goods can be sorted in different channels. Push-in racking can be loaded according to the LIFO principle (last in, first out), flow racking according to the FiFO principle (first in, first out) and remote-controlled shuttle racking enables very high handling rates.
The classic pallet rack is one of the most common and flexible storage systems. It consists of a rack frame in which support beams are fixed. Depending on the number of pallets per shelf compartment, they can be used for single- or multi-user storage. The most common form is multi-space storage with two to four pallets per shelf compartment. The shelf arrangement can be changed and supplemented at any time, so that the storage system can be easily adapted to spatial changes. Flexible usability and low investment costs make pallet racking indispensable in many warehouses.
This type of racking is a space-saving variant of the classic pallet racking. With a height of up to 18 metres, the narrow aisle high bay racking makes optimum use of its floor space and enables a very high storage density. Nevertheless, all stored goods are easily accessible. Modern narrow-aisle stackers are used in high-bay warehouses, which allows fast order picking directly from the pallet despite the large working height and the narrow aisles with a maximum width of 1.9 metres.
Drive-in racking allows pallets to be stored extremely compactly. It uses the available storage space up to 90 percent more efficiently than classic pallet racking because pallets are stored in channels next to or above each other. The forklift truck enters the channels and places the pallets from the back to the front on support rails mounted on both sides. The goods are stored and retrieved according to the LIFO principle (last in, first out), i.e. the goods stored last are retrieved first. The drive-in rack is suitable for large storage quantities of the same item and for items with a low turnover rate.
With push-in racking, the pallets are pushed into a racking channel from one side only and removed from there. For this purpose, the pallets are placed on roller conveyors that tilt slightly towards the end of the rack. When a new pallet is pushed into the channel, goods already stored move to the back. Push-in racking offers space for two to six pallets per channel and uses the available space 75 per cent better than classic pallet racking. They are suitable as staging racks or for larger storage quantities of the same item, which can be stored according to the LIFO principle (last in, first out).
In flow racks (also called push-through racks), pallets are stored at the back of the rack and removed again at the front. The stored goods roll to the removal point on roller conveyors with a slight incline. With each removal, the next storage unit moves up. This enables storage according to the Fifo principle (first in, first out). The flow rack uses the available storage space a good 60 percent more efficiently than the classic pallet rack, as the compact storage system gets by with only a few rack aisles. In addition to the normal version, there are also motorised roller conveyors that are used as conveyor sections.
In mobile racking, the rows of shelving are mounted on trolleys. Only one operating aisle is required for each racking block, as the racking can be moved as needed. This increases the storage capacity by up to 150 percent or saves about 50 percent of the operating space, but at the same time ensures unrestricted access to all stored pallets, mesh boxes and containers. For these reasons, mobile racking is mainly used when storage space is limited and structural extensions are difficult. The high-density use of space is an efficient and energy-saving storage technique, especially for cold stores. In the heavy-duty version, the shelving units can accommodate bay loads of up to 24 tonnes.
Shuttle systems are increasingly used in modern warehouses. The shuttles can be controlled by remote control through the pallet channel and store the pallets at the desired location. This results in very compact and flexible storage, which enables a high turnover rate. At the same time, shuttles minimise the risk of damage to the goods or the racking system because they transport the pallets precisely and safely through the racking aisle.
Single bay racking holds only a single pallet or container on the respective storage level. The load carrier sits on two brackets that can be adjusted to the required height via the hole grid of the upright frames. The single-station system is particularly suitable for items of medium to high weight with a stable centre of gravity. It enables a high turnover rate and is often used when picking directly from the pallet or from the pallet cage.
Small parts store
Everyone knows the simplest method of storing small parts in a space-saving way from their own four walls: the classic shelf rack. However, there are other methods in trade and industry to store small unit goods efficiently. In flow racks, for example, stored boxes and crates slide to the exit each time they are removed, which saves the order picker long distances.
Shelving is the oldest type of shelving in the world. It is named after the horizontal compartments made of closed shelves. They are typically used for the storage of non-palletised goods or small parts that are stored in boxes or sales packaging. Shelving units can be fitted with different numbers of shelves and vary greatly in height. Simple shelving units are up to three metres high, multi-storey variants can reach 15 metres. Their simple construction makes them very clear and allows direct access to any stored goods. However, high space requirements and limited load-bearing capacity restrict their areas of application.
With this type of shelving, boxes, crates or transport containers are stored on inclined platforms with roller rails. The goods are stored at the back of the rack and removed at the front. With each removal, the next storage unit slides or rolls towards the exit. This enables storage according to the Fifo principle (first in, first out). Compared to classic shelving, flow racking saves the employee up to 70 percent of the walking time and enables very high handling speeds.
The wide span racking closes the gap between shelving and pallet racking. It was specially developed for storing large-volume goods. With its compact and stable design, it can be easily adapted to the respective requirements. Wide span racking has extremely wide shelves on which even large and bulky goods can be easily stored. Thanks to their simple plug-in design, they are easy to assemble and can be flexibly assembled and converted, allowing them to be quickly and effortlessly adapted to all conditions in the warehouse. The shelf height is freely selectable, and profiles and shelves are available in a wide variety of versions. Depending on the design, loads of more than 2,000 kilograms can be stored in a shelf compartment.
Long goods shelving
Long and bulky goods such as wooden boards, panels and pipes take up a lot of space in the warehouse and must be stored correctly to avoid damage. There are various solutions for this. One of the most common is cantilever racking, where the goods are stored on horizontal struts. A dynamic and space-saving variant of this is the cantilever mobile racking. Vertical shelving is particularly suitable for the upright storage of long goods.
Cantilever racking is the name given to all types of storage equipment in which horizontal struts or brackets are attached to vertical uprights. They are very suitable for the storage of long and bulky goods such as pipes or boards or for the separate storage of standing goods. If the uprights are fitted with cantilevers on both sides, they can also be used in double rows. Depending on the stored goods and the load unit, storage and retrieval is carried out manually or mechanically.
Cantilever mobile shelving is the dynamic version of classic cantilever shelving. The shelves stand on trolleys and can be easily moved back and forth. This leads to a significantly better utilisation of space, as only one operating aisle is needed for the entire racking block. Despite the high storage density, movable cantilever racking ensures access to the complete stored goods at all times.
If conditions in production change, companies often have to react quickly and create new storage areas at short notice. The steel construction platform is a self-supporting, walkable and partially driveable steel construction whose additional level creates new working areas. Without changing the basic dimensions of the building, the solid storage platforms open up previously unused storage space and expand the parking and storage area by two or three times. Multi-storey versions are also possible. This makes them the cost-effective alternative to building extensions or new buildings.
