Pallet racking for warehouses

Automated racking system

Pallet racking system

A pallet racking system is the most traditional way of warehouse storage. It consists of racks placed inside the warehouse with wide aisles in between, allowing forklifts to load and unload pallets. This system is widely used in logistics centers, distribution warehouses, and production facilities. But is a pallet racking system still the most efficient solution in a time when speed, space optimization, and automation are becoming increasingly important? Why a traditional racking system is not always the best choice:

  • Aisles take up a significant portion of the warehouse, reducing storage capacity.
  • Forklifts, trained staff, and regular maintenance are required, increasing costs.
  • Loading and unloading rely on forklifts and workers, leading to delays.
  • Human errors result in misplaced pallets and damaged goods.
  • Without automated inventory management, finding specific pallets can be time-consuming.

More and more companies are switching to an Automated Storage and Retrieval System. But what makes this system so much more efficient?

What is an ASRS system?

An Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) is a fully automated storage system where goods are stored and retrieved without forklifts or manual intervention. This system uses shuttles, lifts, and conveyors to automatically transport pallets, resulting in maximum space utilization and minimal processing time.

Why is it better than a pallet racking system?

  • 70% more space-efficient than traditional storage
  • High pallet throughput for faster warehouse operations
  • Ideal as buffer storage for production environments
  • Fully automated storage and retrieval system
