From Traditional to Cutting-Edge: Exploring the Evolution of Warehouse Racking Devices
Choosing the right kind of pallet rack for your organization might be challenging. Selective pallet rack is sometimes chosen because it is the least expensive or it appears to be the most versatile, however it is the incorrect option for several tasks. As the team here at HWArobotics continues to push the boundaries of innovation in the field of warehouse automation, one particular solution, automated retrieval system, stands out for its outstanding efficiency and effectiveness. Continue reading to discover the typical types of pallet rack systems and choose the most suitable one for you.
▲Traditional Pallet Racks:
Initially, traditional pallet racks were the backbone of warehouse storage. These racks consisted of selective pallet racks, drive-in and drive-through racks, and push-back racks. The selective pallet racks offered easy access to every pallet, allowing for efficient inventory management. Drive-in and drive-through racks optimized space utilization, enabling forklifts to drive directly into the racks, eliminating the requirement for special aisles. Push-back racks used inclined rails to allow for pallets to be stored one behind the other while still providing accessibility. Although these traditional racks provided basic functionality, limitations arose in terms of versatility and optimization.
▲The Rise of Innovative Racking Systems:
Selective pallet rack: The most well-liked and adaptable pallet racking system available is selective pallet rack. It offers effective space utilization and quick access to every cargo stored with any kind of forklift.
Double-deep rack: Put one row of selective racking behind another to make double-deep racks. This is the most affordable method of building high-density storage.
Push-back rack: Pallets on carts (up to five deep) in a push-back rack slide forward when the pallet in front is removed.This is a well-liked choice for businesses that deal with food.
Pallet flow rack: Sloping racks and a first-in/first-out (FIFO) loading method are used in pallet flow racks, sometimes referred to as gravity flow racks.
▲Automated Retrieval Systems:
Over time, our team at HWArobotics recognized the need for enhanced efficiency and optimized space utilization in warehouses. As a team at HWArobotics, we have dedicated our efforts to providing innovative solutions for warehouse management.
