Pallet racking - that's where its advantages lie

If you are looking for a multi-layered and easy-to-use storage system, you are on the safe side with panel racks.

If you are looking for a good system for your storage unit, we will be happy to help you here at LAGERflaeche.de. We will put you in touch with the best partners for outsourcing.

Advantages of pallet racking

Thanks to the open structure, racking becomes an optimal loading equipment, with direct access to every pallet. Multi-user storage allows a lot of space to be saved, which means that the racks can be adapted exactly according to the available capacity. The connection with high-bay warehouses is also possible without any problems, as the pallets can be stacked without any restrictions. Depending on the intensity, several product and weight classes are possible.

Another advantage is the easy operation of the pallet racking. The cross beams can be arranged in the warehouse in any way to adapt to the height, size and structure of the stored items. Despite the flexible design of the racking systems, comfort and safety are maintained at all times. In combination with a high-bay stacker or a pallet truck, it is easy to reach even the higher levels. For storage, this enables space-saving and simple use, which can be ensured without much effort in combination with effective loading equipment.

Disadvantages of pallet racking

Without additional vehicles and aids, pallet racking rarely becomes a real help. This is due to the efficient multi-station storage, where the load carriers are also stacked far upwards. The arrangement of the individual goods is also problematic, as they have to be located on the pallets. With a correspondingly high turnover rate, the personnel costs are also correspondingly high. For a successful automation, the racking system with pallets is therefore not yet the best choice, which is mainly due to the complexity.

Pallet racking is suitable in these cases

Depending on the number of pallets per compartment, a distinction is made between single- and multi-space storage. This means that, if necessary, several goods can be stored in one compartment. For storage rooms with high ceilings and correspondingly much space in height, pallet racking with traverses is a good approach. In this way, numerous goods can be stored per storage unit, which are placed on the pallets. The only important thing is that they find space on the respective pallets.

With heights of up to 45 metres, the pallet racks clearly belong to the high-bay warehouses if they are constructed accordingly. To simplify storage, the racks can also be equipped with a corresponding lift. This ensures that the load carriers can be filled without any additional personnel effort. For quick access to palletised products and goods, pallet racking as a racking system is therefore a versatile and efficient solution.
