Movirack Mobile Pallet Racking Large-scale storage on mobile racking units

Movirack system: general features With the Movirack system, racking units become more compact and their storage capacity considerably increased, particularly when using pallets. All this without giving up direct access to any item in stock. The racking units are installed over guided mobile bases that slide laterally, thus eliminating the need for aisles (which only open when accessed). The mobile bases have motors, sliders, electronics and several safety systems to guarantee safe, efficient operation. The operator gives the order to automatically open the unit, either by remote control or manually...

Warehouse using conventional pallet storage. Warehouse using mobile bases. The same capacity with a single aisle occupies less space. Warehouse using mobile bases. Utilising the most space possible considerably increases storage capacity. Key advantages Direct access to any pallet in storage As these racking units are installed over bases, merely opening up the corresponding aisle provides direct access to the desired pallet. Maximisation of your available space This excellent use of available space is thanks to two basic premises: increasing the storage capacity and reducing the storage area...

General features Applications These are some examples of the Movirack system’s multiple applications: Palletised product storage - General storage, - products with average or low-level rotation, - refrigerated storerooms, - intermediary or shipping warehouses. 4 Movirack Mobile Pallet Racking

Warehouse with cantilever racks - For sheets, reels, and large or irregular-sized products. In these cases, the same utilisation criteria for palletised products is applied. Both conventional forklifts (counterbalanced and reach trucks) and those used for lengthy products (lateral-load and four-way forklifts) can be used.

General features Refrigerated warehouses The Movirack system is ideal for low or medium-height refrigerated or freezer warehouses because: - Being a compact system, it has a quick return on investment. - Every pallet can be directly accessed. This is very useful when there are few pallets per item. - Energy savings are increased in terms of generating cold air. The air is spread over a larger number of pallets in storage, thus reducing the expense per pallet. - There is better air circulation in down times when using the parking option, which increases the separation between racks to spread the...

Basic components Building systems Embedded rails The mobile racking units travel over rails that have first been levelled and anchored and then embedded in the floor. There are smooth rails and guide rails that match the wheels on the carriage. The number of rails depends on the characteristics of each facility. They can be installed in many different ways. Guide rail Over a concrete subfloor. This system is most often used over a newly built floor. Roller rail 10 Movirack Mobile Pallet Racking

Over an existing floor with backfilling. Appropriate when the floor has adequate resistance but new flooring is to be laid. Over an existing floor with channels and support joists. Appropriate when the floor resistance is insufficient or undetermined. Over an existing floor with channels. Valid when the floor can handle the units without compromising its resistance.

Basic components Racks Facilities tend to be formed by fixed racking units with access either on one side or both sides, and by mobile racking units that always have access on both sides. Both types have structural systems that are the same as pallet rack units. However, mobile racking units must be equipped with rigidity bracing that provide them with better stability to withstand the forces produced by starting and stopping their movement. There can be levels set for two, three or four pallets, depending on the size and type of load to be stored. This figure represents the depth of the racks...

Single access aisle Most facilities require a single main aisle to maneuver in, so the racking units are located perpendicular to it with a minimum distance from the side walls of 200 mm. Access aisle plus pedestrian walkway When necessary, or for safety reasons, the module closest to the wall can be cantilevered to leave the space below free for a pedestrian walkway or a fire escape route.

Basic components Basic components for cantilevered racking units The structural system, guides and embedding systems, in addition to operational criteria and tolerance factors, are similar to those of facilities with palletised racking units. 14 Movirack Mobile Pallet Racking

Basic components External safety barrier Controlling the facility The basic features of the control system are found in the main power panel and the onboard control panels. These ensure the mobile racking units move safely and automatically. The main control features found in the panel are: - The PLC controller, the brains behind the facility and where the operational logic is programmed. - Power converters (synchronise the operations of the different motors on the base, which provide a boost of acceleration and a smooth stop). These also lengthen the lifespan of several different components...
