Standard adjustable wide aisle Narrow aisle Push back Standard adjustable wide aisle Easily installed, cost-effective and versatile, wide aisle racking is the most popular pallet storage system and allows direct access to each pallet stored. Drive-in By dispensing with access aisles, drive-in racking provides a high-density of storage in a given area to increase capacity by some 60-80% over conventional ‘aisle’ racking. With adjustable beams, racking can be re-configured to accommodate changes in the type of goods stored and wide aisles allow access by all types of truck, making specialised handling...

Carton live Carton live storage operates on the same principle as pallet live storage, but is used for stock which needs to be hand-loaded and picked. The angle of incline of the roller trays, the size and number of rollers within the trays, and the load capacity of the support frames, are tailored to the size and weight of the items stored. Automated shuttles travel on support rails, offering storage to greater lane depths than drive-in, push back or pallet live racking. Pallets are loaded onto a shuttle at the front of the lane, which transports and deposits them at the other end, before returning...
