Which of the rack solutions described below will solve your storage challenge?
-
Double Deep Selective Rack
Double deep rack systems use selective racks configured so one pallet load is stored directly behind another thereby increasing your storage density by 15-20% over standard single deep selective rack. Because one load is stored directly behind the other, this type of rack usually requires multiple pallets of the same SKU. It also usually requires a double deep reach truck to effectively access both loads from the storage aisle.
-
Drive-In/Drive Through Rack
For applications with even greater numbers of pallets per SKU, Drive-In/Drive Through racking may provide the best solution. With this racking, forklifts actually drive into the rack system to access pallets stored on pallet storage rails. This storage method limits wasted aisle space & greatly improves the use of the storage cube, it does however, limit selectivity because loads must be removed vertically on each level before the next layer is accessible(honey combing). Electric or LPG counterbalanced forklift trucks are generally used with this type of racking.
-
Push-Back or Glide-In Rack
This style of rack usually offers the best solution when both high density storage and product selectivity is required. From the storage aisle, pallet loads are placed onto nested load carts and are pushed backward when the next load is placed into the system. Loads can typically be stored from two to six loads deep on each level. As loads are pulled from the levels, the remaining loads flow forward to the aisle for access. Because these loads flow to the aisle, you eliminate the "honey combing effect" of Drive-In/Drive-Through Racking. Since loads flow towards the storage aisle, most types of forklift trucks work well with this racking.
-
Cantilever Rack
Cantilever racking is selective racking for long loads (typically 10' or longer). Loads are stored vertically on load arms (instead of load beams), that are spaced appropriately to support the longer loads. They provide 100% selectivity and can be designed to accommodate a wide variety of load types, such as; Metal Bar & Rod Stock, Building and Construction Materials, Retail Furniture, etc. Most types of forklifts can be used with Cantilever Rack however; Four-Directional or Side-Loading Trucks can greatly improve space efficiency by keeping the storage aisle smaller than the length of the load.
-
Pallet Flow Rack
Pallet Flow Racks are best used in applications where there are multiple pallets of the same SKU in a high velocity operation. Pallets are loaded into the system from one end and flow through the racking to the opposite end on pallet flow rails, where they are unloaded. Because each pallet flow lane is sloped, the length of the flow lane is usually determined by the available clear ceiling height in a building. This rack style is usually ideal for time sensitive loads and guarantees First-In/First-Out storage methods. Again, most types of forklifts can be used with this racking; however the height of the system may require the use of tall Reach Trucks or Turret Trucks.
