Warehouse Storage Solutions
– All You Need to Learn about
Pallet Racking
• Made of metal, wood, or plastic, pallet racking is probably the most
common component of stock movement and storage. Items that can be
stored in boxes and have the need for inventory logging are quite
suitable for pallet racking. While pallet racking is a popular option, you
need to pay attention to weight limits first. You should not store more
than what is recommended, and it is equally important to check those
racks for stability at regular intervals. You should also consider your
space limitations and requirements to determine the best aisle space,
but depending on your unique needs, you can also have a turning circle
used with a pallet.
• Once you have decided to put your money on pallet racking, it is
important to learn a bit about the sub-categories of pallet racking:
You can opt for carton flow racking, which comes with bays and roller tracks. You
can easily store your cartons on these racks and roll them down to access those
items. However, you will benefit from this warehouse storage solution if you have
unboxed stock that is relatively small too.
You can opt for cantilever racking, especially if you want to store piping, timber,
or other long loads. The racking system utilizes beams to function properly.
You can put your money on coil racking. It is exactly the same you find in DIY
stores. Such racking systems are used to store cables and chains.
You can go with double deep racking as well. It allows you to store items two rows
deep, and though i t allows for better storage, it requires specialized forklift for
handling.
