The conventional
pallet racking system is the best solution for warehouses that need
to store palletised products with a wide range of SKUs.
Advantages
In order to store a large number of pallets, double-depth racks can be installed enabling one pallet to be placed in front of another on each side of the aisle. Conventional pallet racking can also be used in the construction of clad-rack warehouses, whose most striking characteristic is that they do not require the existence of a building prior to construction.

Drive-in racking is ideal for
homogeneous products with low levels of turnover and a high number of
pallets per article type. This system offers the highest use of
available space in terms of both area and height.
Advantages
Drive-in racking can generally accommodate as many article types as there are loading aisles. Two management systems are available: the drive-in system, with only one access aisle, and the drive-through system, with access to the load from both sides of the rack. The system is frequently used in cold stores (refrigeration and freezing) which require maximum use of space for the storage of products in a controlled temperature.

Push-back
is ideal for storing medium-turnover products, with two or more pallets
per SKU.An accumulative storage system that allows up to four pallets
deep to be stored per level.
Advantages
All of the pallets of each level, except the top one, are placed on a set of trolleys that are pushed along rolling rails. These rails are built on a slight incline, lower at the front, so that the pallets at the back move forward when the pallet closest to the aisle is removed. |
