Owning a smaller warehouse can present a lot of logistical challenges that affect your ideal operational layout. Many smaller warehouse businesses suffer from disorganisation because of the limits imposed on them with smaller space for larger stock loads. The answer to many smaller warehouse operations is not within the space you have, but in the way that your storage is utilised. The way to attain this solution is with pallet racking. So what are the benefits of pallet racking?
Racking Solution
Industrial storage racks are unique and ideal for a vast array of markets – from retail storage to manufacturing facilities. These solutions are designed for the storage of higher volumes and higher density of bulk inventory.
The benefits of a well-designed, reinforced and securely fitted racking system prove to be one of the most invaluable assets to your business. To do that, it comes in many different forms that apply to each type of business sector. Adjustable pallet racking is a typical system with wide-aisle access for quick and simple work with individual packages. Drive-in pallet racking is designed for increased storage capacity and efficiency, ideal for bulk storage.
Narrow aisle pallet racking allows for maximised use of space with increased efficiency and minimised rack damage – whilst mobile pallet racking has a movable base that allows you to utilise dead space in the warehouse and increase capacity by 80% in most cases. Additionally, there is live storage racking which is ideal for stock rotation and use in limited space.
Space Saving
Utilising your space is the major factor that businesses have in mind when pallet racking is considered. It makes economic sense to use every square inch of your warehouse, enabling you to meet higher customer demand and increase your overall profits.
Instead of the unnecessary expense of space renovation or relocation to a larger warehouse, pallet racking provides use of that unused vertical space that can truly benefit your business. This helps you to both clear up your warehouse storage area as well as make room for increased demand.
Access and Convenience
If you don’t have an optimised storage system, access to your stored pallets will be a challenge throughout its use. Pallet racking is specifically designed to make your workplace operations easier and make your process more smooth.
Each system needs to be easily accessible by forklift so that items can be moved, lowered and accessed without any incident. The business is more productive when items can be easily located and your turnaround is much quicker as a result.
