Results for tag: "Pallet Racking"

In the field of logistics, pallet racking is an essential system for storage and organization of goods in warehouses and distribution centers. It consists of horizontal shelves or platforms designed to hold pallets, which are typically standardized flat structures that support goods in a stable fashion while being lifted by a forklift or pallet jack. Pallet racking maximizes vertical space in a storage facility, enabling efficient use of space and facilitating inventory management through accessible and orderly storage. Variations of pallet racking systems include selective racks, which provide direct access to every pallet; drive-in and drive-through racks, which allow forklifts to enter the structure and retrieve loads; and push-back racking, which uses a sliding mechanism for storing multiple pallets per level. Pallet racking design and implementation depend on factors such as the size and weight of the goods, the type of inventory management system, and the turnover rate of the products stored. The market for pallet racking is characterized by a diverse range of products to suit different logistical needs, as well as services for design, installation, and maintenance of racking systems. Some notable companies within the pallet racking market include Interlake Mecalux, SSI Schaefer Group, Ridg-U-Rak, Steel King, and Dexion. These companies offer a broad spectrum of racking solutions and are recognized for their contributions to warehouse efficiency and storage optimization. Show Less Read more
