What are the advantages and characteristics of warehouse pallet racks?

Pallet racking, also known as crossbeam racking or storage rack, is usually a heavy-duty racking system and is most common in various warehousing racking systems. Suitable for both multi variety and small batch items, as well as for small variety and large batch items. This type of rack is most commonly used in high-level warehouses and super high-level warehouses (most automated warehouses use this type of rack). What are the advantages and characteristics of warehouse pallet racks?

1. Pallet racking can achieve mechanized loading and unloading operations, which not only facilitates the storage and retrieval of goods in units, but also improves the utilization rate of storage capacity;

2. Pallet racks can improve labor productivity, achieve efficient cargo storage and retrieval operations, and facilitate computer management and control;

3. Generally speaking, warehouse pallet racks do not require layers, they only require cross beams to be installed, and each pallet position usually requires 2 cross beams to be installed, which saves costs to the greatest extent possible;

4. The number of layers of warehouse pallet racks can be determined based on the height of the warehouse, the height of each pallet’s cargo space, and other conditions. Therefore, the bottom layer does not require crossbeams, and the pallets can be placed directly on the ground;

5. Warehouse pallet racks make it easy for goods to be freely accessed, with each pallet storage point designated as a pallet position and a cargo number assigned. Forklifts can access pallet goods from any numbered position.
