Cold storage and freezer pallet racking system solutions

图片
Are  pallet racking systems  suitable for cold or freezing environmental conditions? This is by far the main concern of food and biochemical companies. When the topic is storage systems, cold storage has specific artificial environmental characteristics. These different characteristics have a different impact on a type of metal shelving. The appropriate metal, or even a combination of different pallet racking systems, should be used depending on the needs of each project to get the best results. The unique characteristics of refrigerated and frozen storage (including the temperature itself) may adversely affect the efficiency of cooling systems when unsuitable storage systems are implemented and may lead to metal corrosion due to harsh environmental conditions. For incongruous situations, the best approach is to select metals that have been made denser with extreme forces applied to ensure higher cooling energy efficiency and thus cost savings. A necessary condition for the subject is

Mezzanine Floor Systems – Maximize your storage space

图片
Small businesses that are just starting out typically invest in a small storage facility/warehouse accordingly at the beginning. However, as their business grows, the existing storage space begins to outgrow the amount of material that needs to be stored. When more storage space was needed, the usual options were to move to larger premises or build additional storage space in the existing warehouse.  Mezzanine systems , on the other hand, are an effective option that works best from all angles.   Mezzanine Floor Systems Mezzanine floor systems – platforms or floors installed between the ceiling and floor – are a smart, versatile and easy way to create additional space in a warehouse. While used in retail stores, production and other spaces, the utility of mezzanine floors in warehouses is unmatched. From the standpoint of ease of assembly (and disassembly), versatility, customization, cost-effectiveness and additional space creation, mezzanine floor systems are the number one choice fo

There are a lot of people asking questions about the differences between  pallet flow  and  push-back pallet racks  and which system works best for them. The answer is that although they are somewhat similar concepts, it is up to your individual situation. In this post, I will compare and contrast pallet flow and push back racking to help figure out which one works best in different applications.   Pallet Flow Racking How many different types of products are stored in your warehouse is an important influencing factor in choosing a pallet racking system. When you store a variety of SKUs but need high density storage, pushback is the ideal choice. While with pushback you typically store one product per aisle, you can store different SKUs in different aisles. forklifts can easily access all lanes and pick different products. Pallet Flow Rack is a high density storage system with FIFO (first in, first out) capability. This type of system is suitable for time sensitive products and a limite
