Top five pallet racking systems and their advantages and disadvantages

A pallet rack is a piece of equipment or device that is typically used in large warehouses to store a variety of materials. It has horizontally placed slides or pallets that can reach 4 or more levels.

There are five main different types of pallet racking systems on the market today. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish the nuances of each and assess which one best meets your needs. The following section describes the main static and dynamic pallet racking systems and their advantages and disadvantages.

 

⒈Conventional Pallet Racking

Advantages

● Provides a large number of finishes, so it is advantageous when there are many different products (SKUs) and few pallets of the same product
● Cost-effective

Disadvantages

● Takes up a lot of floor space
● Needs multiple aisles, so space is lost

 

⒉Drive-in pallet racking

Advantages

● Significantly optimizes space when multiple pallets are available for the same product (SKU)
● Use the maximum space allowed
● Extremely cost effective

Disadvantages

● Requires a high degree of dexterity and control from the forklift operator
● Same product from top to bottom, so less versatility compared to push-back or pallet flow systems

 
⒊Double depth pallet racking

Advantages

● Provides a lot of orientation and optimized space by reducing the number of aisles
● Interestingly, 2 to 4 pallets per product when there are multiple products of the same type (SKU)
● Economical

Disadvantages

● Requires more precision from forklift operators when handling pallets

 

⒋Pallet flow racking system

Advantages

● Suitable for products with more than 6 pallets and/or products that need to be rotated in FIFO or traditional LIFO format
● Most efficient system that provides optimal space maximization
● Easy to use and allows for different sides at each level

Disadvantages

● High investment cost

 

⒌Push-back pallet racking

Advantages

● Many faces, as each level is independent and can have different products
● Suitable for products with 3 to 6 pallets
● Maximizes available space
● Easy to use and robust

Disadvantages

● Limitations on the number of pallets; no more than 6 pallets of the same product allowed
Disadvantages

Danish cart – Multifunctional garden warehouse cart

  Danish Shopping Cart Danish trolleys  are the most popular method of ( in-house ) transport in agriculture and horticulture. Especially potted plants and ornamental plants are often transported on Danish trolleys. As well as internal transport, flower carts are often used for display purposes. You may have seen trolleys full of Danish plants in supermarkets, DIY stores or other stores. Flower trolleys are often used in Dutch gardening and are also known as “Dutch trolleys” in other countries. The special feature of the Danish cart is that it can be used both at the beginning of the chain (at the gardener) and at the end of the chain (at the garden center where the end user buys the plants). At the beginning of the chain, the cart is used as a storage and transport tool, and at the end as a display tool.

Pallet flow versus push-back pallet rack

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
