Effective storage solutions are vital to optimize the productivity of today’s warehouse. With rising costs, demands and competition, the operations need to utilize every cubic foot of available space. It’s not enough to optimize floorspace. Vertical space presents an opportunity that can’t be overlooked. However, storage systems also need to avoid damage to goods and facilitate access. With a wide variety of products passing through a warehouse, customized design comes into play. Different types of pallet racks cover the unique dimensions, weights and priorities of goods. Selective pallet racking systems are ideal for maximizing vertical space. A low-density storage system includes high selectivity. Products in a number of bays can be accessed by forklift drivers simultaneously. Because the setup is modular, selective pallet racking allows for customized configurations. For emerging or expanding warehouse operations, selective pallet racking is a beneficial choice. The design can be altered into industrial shelving with little more than the addition of wire mesh or solid decking. For cartons and other smaller products, the mesh prevents loss between beams. For bulkier items that necessitate a strong support, solid decking is better. For those warehouses dealing with limited aisle space, mobile pallet racks present another option. They open up greater maneuverability while reducing safety risks for workers. Service aisles can be opened up remotely or on-site, improving accessibility of pallets. After retrieving the pallet, it’s easy to close the aisle backup and conserve space. This type of system utilizes tracks installed into the floor of the warehouse. Because pallet racks are typically quite large and require assembly, proper transport of the system is crucial.
