Pallet racking

Share This Product

Product Overview/Description

Classic pallet racking remains, as ever, the most popular storage system for palletised goods – despite the increasing use of modern technology in the storage and picking fields.

The system allows convenient access to every pallet. Moreover, the racking configuration can be easily modified and extended. Flexibility and relatively low investment costs have made this system essential for storage and order picking.

With useful and practice-proven accessories, our pallet racking system allows optimal storage of palletised loads in all shapes and sizes.

The most common configuration is multi-position storage with 2 – 4 pallets per bay. If pallets are buffered, or if complete pallet loads are to be handled, pallets are stored short side-facing. For order picking, however, pallets are generally stored long side-facing, in order to facilitate access.

The pallet racking system is available in a range of versions, the most common of which are broad aisle racking, narrow aisle racking and mobile pallet racking.

Broad aisle racking
Broad aisle racking is the standard solution for pallet racking. In this design, servicing is generally done with front stackers, reach trucks or man-up stacker cranes. The aisle width is intended to suit forklift truck dimensions. The floor level can be conveniently serviced with a hand pallet truck or an electric lift truck.

  • This is the entry-level variant for cost-effective pallet storage, and is ideal for flexibility, allowing for the storage of a wide range of goods while providing direct access to all items. Broad aisle racking is compatible with all modern forklift trucks.

Narrow aisle facility
This high-rise structure with narrow aisles enables the ideal use of vertical capacity, as well as ensuring an efficient use of floorspace. As a rule, narrow aisle facilities are serviced with man-operated stacker cranes or order picking trucks. This allows picking of smaller unit loads from all racking levels. Guide rails and inductive steering ensure that service vehicles always stay at the ideal distance from the installation.

  • This is the perfect solution for optimal usage of existing floor area and vertical space. With this system, there is no need to transfer items to be picked down to a lower level; using man-up, narrow-aisle lift trucks, you can pick goods from any shelf. The system offers high operating stability, as there is no need for individuals to have to wait in the aisles.

Mobile pallet racking
The use of mobile pallet racking reduces the need for costly floorspace. Thanks to the racks’ mobility, only one aisle needs to be open for picking at any one time; the rest of the space is filled as efficiently as possible with closely-packed racking runs. Each of the individual racking runs can be relocated, allowing access to all pallets at all times. It is also possible to open several smaller aisles, rather than one broad aisle wide enough for track circulation.

  • This is a highly-effective solution, in which surface area is used as efficiently as possible. Therefore, storage capacity is maximised, while huge amounts of floorspace are saved. Particularly in cost-intensive deep-freeze storage, the compact structure reduces space requirements – and therefore energy costs – dramatically.

Automated servicing
Alongside classic palletised storage and retrieval, automated picking and the use of shuttle carriers are growing in importance. The higher initial investment costs are quickly regained, thanks to significantly faster picking and order processing.

Other designs
Multi-tier pallet racks allow multiple employees to pick goods at the same time, enabling the processing of significantly more orders.

Our pallet racking also works perfectly with other racking systems, such as live storage. It can be combined into a broader system, perfectly adjusting to the logistical processes in your warehouse.

Compatibility

Compatible with Standard Pallet Racks
Modular System

The many benefits of pallet racking systems include:

  • 100% access
    • Unlike block or aisle-based storage, classic pallet racking allows complete access to all stored items. Each pallet can easily be reused.
  • High degree of flexibility
    • The pallet rack can be easily reorganised and expanded. It is the most versatile and flexible heavy-duty storage system, allowing for the storage of goods and packages in all shapes and sizes.
  • Easy picking
    • Pallet racks are compatible with all modern lift truck types and picking vehicles.
  • Low investment costs
    • Basic investment costs for pallet racking systems are low.

Siyamuva’s range of solutions offer further advantages:

  • Colour
    • Galvanised frames and plastic-coated blue beams stand out clearly against wooden pallets, allowing for colour-coded division and therefore ensuring greater safety when storing and retrieving items – especially on high shelves. Colour combinations also make for a more pleasant working environment.
  • A broad range of accessories
    • A wide range of accessories and safety equipment complements the pallet racks’ modular approach. These ensure smooth running in your warehouse, minimising damage to the racks and helping to prevent certain losses.
  • More accessories for shelves
    • Depending on the load carriers or the goods to be stored, the racking system’s shelves can be fitted with a wide range of different drop-in segments.
  • Convert stockkeeping warehouses into picking zones
    • As a manufacturer of live storage systems, we can use pallet racks to turn your stockkeeping warehouse into an efficient picking site. This allows you to effortlessly and ergonomically pick boxes, containers and even individual components from the lower levels, while storing replenishing supplies on the upper levels.
  • Quality certificate
    • Our pallet racking carries the RAL quality mark, a particularly special distinction.
  • Wide range of storage options
    • Pallet racks are suitable for both long side-on and long side-facing storage, as well as single- and multi-position storage.
