Warehouse Storage And Pallet Rack Systems

Pallet racks are material handling equipment used to improve efficiency and pick accuracy. These racks can be installed in existing storage facilities. Integration of these racks is extremely simple and quick. When collaborating with a rack manufacturer, you can work on small segments of your storage facility at a time. This will allow the installation and routine work to take place simultaneously. This ensures lesser downtime and lower losses associated with down time.

Why Opt for Pallet Racks

There are several reasons to opt for these racks in stock areas. Some of these are listed below.

1. Human effort is minimized when using these types of flow racks.

2. These racks allow storage of products with greater density. More products can be stored easily in a particular space. Pallet Racks featuring bigger dimensions can be stored in these racks. Since most of the work is automated, storing larger containers is much easier.

3. Lesser access areas are required when using these racks. Hence, more space can be dedicated to product storage.

4. Picking speed and accuracy is greatly improved when using these racks.

5. Visual presentation is enhanced when using carton flow racks. The SKUs are easily visible. This helps in two ways:

a. Product Tracking - Employees looking for particular products can quickly locate them.

b. Product Management - Visual inventory management is greatly improved when using pallet flow racks.

6. Since automation is used to store and move products the possibility of losing a product is eliminated. In food and beverage industries, the products have a shelf life. Using products within the stipulated time is essential. Hence, systems like carton flow racks that help manage inventory better are extremely useful.

7. Racks can be easily integrated with pick to light systems.

8. Installation of racks is simple. It doesn't require much effort and takes little time for installation. Hence, integration of these systems in your current material handling process will not require a lot of downtime.
