Product Description

Understanding the Steel Rack System

Industrial steel racking can be arranged in single or double rows. Each row contains one or more bays running along the aisle, with pallets normally placed side by side at each bay level in the down-aisle direction.

A practical guide to steel racking and pallet flow storage

Mezzanine floors provide space for equipment and supplies within a warehouse or comparable building. In high-roof buildings, offices can occupy the area underneath while stock is kept on the raised deck. Manufacturing, distribution and warehousing operations in Singapore use these systems to turn unused overhead volume into functional space. Industrial platforms for dense storage generally use structural, roll-formed, rack-supported or shelf-supported construction. When moving to another site, 90% or more of the components can be reused at the next site. Testing and approval by a registered professional engineer confirm the stability of the system.

Key storage advantages:

Reach every pallet directly from the aisle facing the rack
Keep the cost per pallet position low in medium-density layouts
Accommodate a large range of SKUs

Industrial pallet flow systems help stock move through the warehouse more quickly, supporting higher productivity.

Warehouse mezzanines and pallet flow storage benefits

A pallet flow arrangement offers the following operational benefits:

Reduce aisle requirements to increase storage density and save space.
Keep goods rotating continuously through FIFO (first in, first out) storage.
Maintain stocked picking faces while replenishment and picking happen concurrently.
Improve picking productivity by cutting the distance travelled between tasks.
Keep loading aisles separate from picking routes for safer forklift and pedestrian circulation.
Use the same flow-track arrangement for pallets with different dimensions and weights.

Design checks for pallet flow racking

Check pallet condition and reject those with damaged or missing bottom boards.
Make sure goods remain stable and are securely attached to their pallets.
Account for loads extending beyond the pallet edges during layout design.
Identify whether the product is a solid load or is packed in bags or sacks.
The design can be tailored to your requirements around the ceiling height and usable space, avoiding restrictions within the available area.

Track configurations for pallet flow racks

Full-width roller-bed tracks.
Tracks arranged with staggered wheels.
A three-track arrangement.
Layouts combining the track options above.

A pallet flow system can reduce costs by improving throughput and handling efficiency.
