SELECT
CHARACTERISTICS:
-
100% SKU selection
-
Low cost per pallet position
-
Easy to configure / reconfigure
-
Flexible slotting design
-

50% increase in pallet positions
-
Low initial capital investment
-
Last In / First Out
-
Poor visibility of loads in rear position
- Lack of visibility can lead to damage
- Additional handling step required to access rear pallet
- Storing & retrieving rear pallet at height is challenging
PUSHBACK
CHARACTERISTICS:
-
High density storage
-
LIFO
-
2-6 pallets deep

Ideal for fast moving SKUs
-
High selectivity
-
Improves existing storage density up to 65%
-
Reduces rack damage
-
Efficient bottom level case picking
-
Ideal for Food & Beverage Distribution, 3PLs, Pharmaceutical, and Manufacturing
PALLET SHUTTLE
CHARACTERISTICS:
-
Maximum Utilization of Cube
-
Deep Lane Storage
-
Low Operating Cost
-
Pallets stored & retrieved by pallet shuttle / vehicle
-

Ideal for food, beverage, and temperature controlled environments / freezer warehouse
PALLET FLOW
CHARACTERISTICS:
-
FIFO (first in / first out)
-
High density
-
Efficient picking & unloading
-
Immediate access to product
-
High cost per pallet postiion
-
Requires good pallet quality
-
Many moving parts w/ perhaps most intensive maintenance requirements
-
Limits SKUs
-
Limits selectivity
PICK TUNNEL
CHARACTERISTICS:
-
High volume
-
Single level picking operations
-
Reserve product stored over picking aisle
-
Reserve product stored in pushback / flow rack / 2-deep select rack
-
High density
-
Minimal movement of reserve product
-
Separates picking and storage
-
High throughput
LAYER PICKING
CHARACTERISTICS:
-
High volume
-
Eliminate back breaking labor

-
Multiple roller types available (wheels, full width conveyor style rollers, etc.
RACK SUPPORTED BUILDING
CHARACTERISTICS:
-
Turnkey solution
-
Easily integrates with AS/RS
-
Eliminates building columns
-
Maximum storage density
-
Utilizes height, not land-mass
-
Most economical solution
HIGH BAY RACKING
