  • 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.

    • 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 Flow
  • 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.
