- Selective pallet rack – is the
most flexible and popular pallet storage rack used in the material handling industry.
Selective rack is manufactured to meet all RMI (Rack Manufacturers
Institute) standards and the roll-formed steel construction provides
great ease of use, durability, and safety.
- Beam-to-Frame construction creates the most firm and dependable rack available.
- Easy beam installation with no special tools or training.
- Innovative Interlock system provides protection against damage, tampering, and accidental displacement.
- Also available in a heavy-duty structural steel channel construction.
- Cantilever rack – is often used
for storing different types of long, bulky material such as furniture,
bar stock, appliances, lumber pipe, variable sized boxes, long metal
parts, carpet or vinyl flooring. The advantages of cantilever
rack include:
- Strength and ruggedness for multilevel storage at any desired height without loading interference from uprights.
- A pin locking systemwith no bolts or loose parts providing the strongest, safest arm locking method available.
- Adjustable arms on 3” vertical centers enable to make quick changes to the rack.
- Height and width options up to 40 feet high and 100 pounds
per square foot of deck load.
- Live pallet gravity flow rack – permits
dense storage by eliminating all aisles except the entrance and exit
aisles. The configuration of live pallet gravity flow rack
makes it ideal for freezer, warehouse, food handling, order picking,
and high volume applications. Live pallet gravity flow rack
can be integrated into an automated storage and retrieval system
(AS/RS) for even greater efficiency. This versatile rack design
saves space, labor costs, and energy by efficiently utilizing gravity. The
advantage of gravity flow rack include:
- Bays that are sized to fit your pallets. Live pallet gravity flow rack bays can also accommodate loads up to 3,000 pounds.
- The height, width, and depth of live pallet gravity flow rack are limited by only the size of your facility and handling equipment.
- With live pallet gravity flow rack, pallets are loaded at one end and flow smoothly on wheel tracks for retrieval at the other end.
- Live pallet gravity flow rack offers first in, first out stock rotation and multiple order picking levels.
- A reliable braking system eliminating electric or pneumatic devices.
- Load separators at the retrieval aisle.
- Carton gravity flow rack – provides
an economical method for both split and full carton order picking. With
carton gravity flow rack, stockers load the rack from the back while
the cartons glide down wheel tracks to the picking faces utilizing
gravity as the free power source. The advantages of carton
gravity flow rack include:
- Carton gravity flow rack offers first in, first out stock rotation.
- Labor savings since the picker will spend less time walking and more time picking.
- An increase in storage density via a reduction on of aisle space.
- Reduced worker congestion since pickers and stockers work in separate aisles.
- Less product handling than in traditional systems thus reducing product damage.
- Tighter inventory control since the racks’ picking faces are full unless stock is depleted.
- Easy adjustability for varying carton size.
- Easy track configuration changes. Simply slide, lift, and
move. The inverted channel tracks allows the wheels to roll
smoothly and eliminates the gathering of debris in the tracks.
- Push back rack – is ideal for applications
which require a large number of picking faces and is useful when
a reduced number of aisles are needed. The design of push back
rack allows pallets to be stored two, three, or four deep on a slight
upward incline. With push back rack, pallets are both stored
and retrieved from one aisle so the first pallet into the rack is
the last pallet out of the rack. In addition push back rack
allows retrieval from the face of the racks while providing high
density storage in a single aisle.
- Pick Modules – are used in order
picking and product replenishment. Our design provides elements from
pallet rack, pallet-flow, push back, and carton flow rack to meet
your specific application needs. Pick modules provide ease of use
to complete orders quickly and efficiently.
- Increase product convenience and assist in product turn around.
- Maximize facility space
- Store and pick everything from single pieces to full pallets in one integrated system
- Customized design and variety of configurations to fit your unique requirements.
Drive-In/Drive-Thru rack – is used
when large quantities of storage is required. Drive-In/Drive Thru
rack uses fewer aisles making it easy to store 75% more pallets than
the standard racks. Products are stored several pallets deep, and
forklifts enters the structure to store and retrieve items.
- Entry/Exit point for each storage bay
- Last-in/first-out flow
- Variety of hieghtss and depths available to meet needs
