Types of high density pallet racking system:
1. Drive in Pallet Racking System
As its name implies, in the system of drive in pallet racks, forklifts have to drive into the interior system to access pallets. The aisles for forklifts to go through are the storage space for cargoes at the same time. Pallets are placed on supported rails at the depth direction successively. It is a FILO (first in, last out) type.
*Advantages:
-the cost is low for the structure is simple;
-the storage density is raised for the decrease of aisles;
2. Push back pallet racking system
*Description:
In the system of push back pallet racks, pallets with cargoes are placed on specialized nested carts which can slide along inclined rails. When loading cargoes, the operator uses a forklift to place a pallet with cargo on the first cart at the lower end of the rail, and then, a second pallet with cargo will push the first pallet ahead and the rest pallets are loaded like so. When unloading cargoes, the operator also works at the lower end. After removing the first pallet, under the function of gravity, the rest pallets will slide automatically towards the lower end of the rail. And then, they can be taken directly. It is a FILO (first in, last out) type.
*Advantages:
-the efficiency of loading and unloading is advanced because forklifts only need to work at the lower end of the rail so that the time of going through aisles is saved;
the structure is relatively stable;
-the probability of collision between forklifts and racks is greatly reduced for that forklifts don't need to drive into -the system;
3. Pallet flow racking system
*Description:
The system of pallet flow racks is similar to the system of push back racks, and the difference between them is that rails and carts are replaced by roller channels. The roller channels are inclined so that pallets with cargoes are able to slide from the higher end to the lower end under the function of gravity. And there are damping sets among the rollers controlling the speed of sliding so as not to damage cargoes. It is a FIFO type.
*Advantages:
-the space utilization rate is high;
-the efficiency of loading and unloading is relatively improved because loading and unloading are carried on at different ends of the system;
-the probability of collision between racks and forklifts is reduced because forklifts only work at the end of the system;
4. Radio shuttle racking system
*Description:
In the system of radio shuttle racks, there are rails for shuttle trucks, which are in charge of transporting pallets with cargoes in the system. Operators are able to control shuttles through radio controllers simply and forklifts only need to put or remove pallets at the beginning of the rails. It can be either FILO or FIFO.
*Advantages:
-the storage density is high because of the decrease of aisles;
-the efficiency of loading and unloading is high because several shuttles can work together;
-the application is extensive;
5. Mobile pallet racking system
*Description:
In the system of mobile pallet racks, at the bottom of each row of racks, there is a electric drive machine and rollers. With them, racks can move along rails laid on the floor freely. Thus, racks are able to arrayed successively. When it is time to load or unload cargoes, racks move to leave a aisle for forklift to work. It is available to get access to any position of the system directly.
*Advantages:
-it realizes 100 selectivity which is impossible in other high density pallet racking systems;
-the storage density is improved for there is only one aisle left;
