You have identified that a pallet rack system would serve as the ideal storage solution for your business, but you are unsure exactly how to go about determining which specific type of pallet racking would be best. If this sounds familiar, don�t fret. There are many different types of pallet racking available � from push back rack and gravity flow rack systems to drive-in and drive-through pallet racking systems � and determining which one would help your business enjoy the most efficient storage possible can be an arduous task. The good news is that recognizing and understanding the importance of having the proper pallet racking system in place � and how vital it is to efficiently storing your goods and maintaining a productive business � is the first step. Now, you can concentrate on doing some research to determine which type of system would best meet the storage needs of your specific company.
Analyze the Specific Needs of Your Business
There are several questions you will need to answer in order to identify the right type of pallet racking system for your business. For starters, what types of products are you going to be storing? How much inventory will you need to store? What type of inventory rotation (loading and unloading) will there be? And what type of loading and unloading equipment, such as forklifts and pallet trucks, do you plan to use? Learning the answers to these questions will allow you to fully understand your business�s needs, and will go a long way toward helping you find the perfect pallet racking system for your facility.
For instance, if you will be storing perishable items and would need access to every pallet on the system at all times, then single-deep pallet racking would be ideal. If you are storing machine parts which won�t be affected by extended shelf life, then a higher-density pallet racking option, such as a gravity flow rack, would suit your needs better. Knowing how your business operates will enable you to peg whether a last-in, first out (LIFO) or a first-in, first-out (FIFO) pallet rack system would be best, help you understand what type of density requirements you will require, and even determine what type of material handling equipment will be needed to safely load and unload your goods.
Take Accurate Measurements of Your Facility
Taking advantage of all the available space at your facility is crucial, so it�s is imperative for accurate measurements of the facility to be available in order for you to construct the most efficient layout for your pallet rack system. In order to maximize your storage capabilities, you will not only need to measure the outer dimensions of your building but also the height, since pallet racking systems are used to store goods on multiple levels. By getting a firm, accurate reading on the dimensions of your facility, you will have a good start of determining your exact storage system layout. You will still need to get dimensions on the specific pallet rack system you intend to use (so you know how many rows and levels of racking you can include), as well as the appropriate space needed for your material handling equipment to operate safely (so you know how much space to leave between aisles) in order to complete your pallet rack design.
Seek Advice from Qualified Racking Professionals
There is always a benefit in leaning on qualified individuals for guidance, and it is highly recommended that you seek the services of the trained pallet racking expert during the process of choosing a new or used pallet rack system. Utilizing the expertise of a qualified individual can allow you to erase any doubts that you are making the proper storage system decision for your business.
