UNRESTRICTED ACCESS TO EVERY PALLET
A widely used storage system in warehouses, adjustable pallet racking stores pallets using a standard counterbalance forklift truck. Also known as wide aisle pallet racking, the heavy duty storage system is configured with an aisle width of 2.5m – 4.0m to avoid the need for specialist handling equipment.
Adjustable pallet racking comes in a variety of frame and beam sizes, standardised for simplicity. Racking can be configured to suit specific product and warehouse requirements. Each bay deck can be finished with wooden boarding or steel mesh. Prodek also offer a range of practical accessories to assist with safe handling of palletised goods.
Adjustable pallet racking:
Aisle width – 2.5 to 4.0 metres
Handling equipment – Standard counterbalance truck.
Maximising Revenue
Every warehouse is different. The choice of which pallet racking type to install comes down to a balance, ease of access and space utilisation. When warehouse space comes at a high cost, the imperative is to maximise revenue per cubic metre.
Ideally, a racking installation will fit as many aisles and pallet bays in as possible. This is achievable with systems such as narrow aisle pallet racking, though require the use of specialist handling equipment. If there is no budget or need to invest in additional handling equipment, adjustable pallet racking is good compromise.
- Standard aisle width
- Every pallet accessible
- High throughput
- No specialist handling equipment.
Pros and Cons
