TYPES OF PALLET RACKING FOR YOUR MATERIAL HANDLING PROBLEMS
Pallet racking systems can solve many businesses’ material handling/storage problems and can be a vital piece in making systems and processes more efficient and productive. These systems can combine with other warehouse systems to make even better solutions to your material handling problems. An effective racking system can be key in meeting your business’ peak product demand.
Whether your material handling problems are due to a lack of space, too much inventory, an unsafe environment, or something else, custom-designed pallet racking systems can help you think vertically and create the best storage solution for your needs. You can create more mobility, effectively use vertical storage, and improve safety within your warehouse or distribution center.
When creating the right pallet racking system for your business and its needs, you’ll need to decide whether or not it is a long-term solution or a short-term, quick turnover solution, plus figure out your weight and height needs. Pallet racks can be designed to hold a significant amount of weight and can be very tall.
When a warehouse, distribution center, or another material handling business needs to design a custom racking system, some of our clients’ top choices are rack-supported structures, cantilever racks, and carton flow racks. Pick modules are also popularly incorporated.
RACK-SUPPORTED STRUCTURES
Rack-supported structures, also known as rack-supported buildings, are intertwined with your building during construction. You can custom design your building with your racking system as an important, major component.
You can save money and time by creating a rack-supported structure by doing the construction of your building and your pallet racking system at the same time, and they are great for maintenance shops, climate-controlled storage warehouses, exterior structures of freezers and coolers, and more.
PICK MODULES
Pick modules are used to move products through an operations flow, which may include inbound processing, order selection, packaging, and shipping. Pick modules interconnect all of your major operations together, such as pallet racking systems, conveyor systems, and case flow racking.
CANTILEVER RACKS
Are you in need of a storage solution for heavy and long goods? Cantilever racks are a wonderful solution for storing heavy and/or long items, such as lumber, tubing and pipes, furniture, metal beans, moldings, metal and plastic sheets, and more. Choose from many different types to create the perfect cantilever rack solution for your business, including roll-formed, structural, and more.
CARTON FLOW RACKS
Carton flow racks utilize the “first-in, first-out” (FIFO) method of material handling, which means that when one product is picked, another slides into the front picking slot. It is a simple solution that creates the FIFO storage method into your operations. Carton flow racks allow for high visibility and easy access to storage, and you can choose from either roller lanes or wheel beds.
