Warehouse Shelving Systems
Warehouse shelving is available from Prodek in all shapes and sizes for the efficient storage of non-palletised goods.
Ready to optimise your warehouse operations, we specialise in the design of industrial shelving to increase pick rates and productivity. To improve warehouse operations Prodek designers will assess your current product profile, considering flexibility for any future changes, to deliver the most efficient layout and system selection.
Warehouse shelving applications:
- Parts supply for assembly stations
- Conveyor belt line supply
- Component storage
- Order fulfilment systems
- Retail storage
- Workshop supplies.
Prodek warehouse shelving systems offer flexibility for users, with adjustable shelving available to future-proof your storage investment. Our shelving system can be easily adjusted, so height and configurations can be transformed to meet the requirements of an evolving product range.
Selecting the correct shelving system will enhance fulfilment processes by increasing picking rates. Warehouse shelving can be installed with ancillaries from shelf dividers to roller beds – also known as carton flow.
What is Carton Flow Storage?
Roller bed or carton flow storage is an enhanced warehouse racking system ideal for assembly and dispatch activities.
Carton flow storage is constructed using inclined roller tracks, to provide a consistent supply of goods to the shelf front. This warehouse storage system delivers improved picking accuracy and speed.
For manufacturers looking to increase assembly rates, a carton flow storage system offers a highly organised method to supply assembly stations with component stocks. This type of warehouse shelving is frequently used as a component picking station on assembly and conveyor belt lines. Warehouse operatives can restock shelf locations with cartons, either using a FIFO (first in first out) system or rotating stock using the back of the shelving unit to replenish components.
Carton flow storage can be used as part of an order fulfilment workflow, bridging the production and dispatch processes. Completed products or components can be loaded to the rear of the warehouse shelving, making goods accessible for warehouse operatives from the front of the shelves.
Prodek engineers design and install warehouse racking to fully utilise available space. Every storage solution is bespoke to the individual business and operational requirements.
Improve Warehouse Stock Management
Fit for purpose warehouse shelving systems improve warehouse stock management.
Incorporating simple shelf dividers allows the allocation of stock locations per aisle to help warehouse staff store and retrieve stock more efficiently. Shelf locations can be allocated scannable barcodes for improved stock management and faster stock picking, particularly in large and complex warehouses.
Warehouse shelving can be designed to fit the needs of your warehouse and products – available in varying shelf depths and racking heights. Our engineers will find the perfect balance between maximising every square meter of available space and developing a shelving system which safely boosts picking rates.
