Mobile Racking Systems are just what it sounds like. They are Pallet racking that takes all the space in the warehouse and leaves only one isle to use at a time. Mobile Racking Systems go from the rafters to the floor and wall to wall, no wasted space in a warehouse at all.
Mobile pallet racks move on a grooved track in the floor.
They are on wheels and are driven by heavy duty electric motors.
When activated, the racks move over to open up an isle for a fork truck
to gain access to the appropriate pallet needed.
Mobile Racking Systems can be controlled by a radio controller used the fork truck operator or by a control tower located in the building for logistics. These mobile pallet rack also can be controlled with a computer keypad mounted on the racking system itself.
These mobile racks can move independently one at a time, in groups, or all a one time. Thus, making use to the only isle it has in the whole system. It really is amazing to see a whole warehouse shift over with tons and tons of product to gain access to one isle.
The individual racks in the system have a light sensor built on them to automatically stop if someone passes in front of a moving isle.
The mobile racking systems also have emergency stop buttons on them for safety.
With even more safety features the mobile racking system has mobile fire sprinklers attached to the top of each rack. This is to insure that with that much product in such as close space it would be less chance of a major disaster.
When an isle opens up to gain access, the rack automatically turns on a light for the designated isle. Of course it turns off the light not needed when an isle closes up. This also helps with the electric bill.
Unlike the using pushback pallet racks, drive in pallet rack and others, it doesn't matter which order the pallets are stored.
Products can be stored with first in and first out or last in and first out efficiency. With the ability to gain access anywhere in the inventory at any time without having to unload the whole rack to get to them.
Driving home efficiencies the mobile racking systems can be quite autonomous with automated fork truck systems. Forklifts that has no one operated them to load and unload the racking system. No one to pay, no one to underpay for a hard day's work. Don't have to worry about them getting sick, getting tired, and not going to work.
Mobile Racking Systems can be used to store products in refrigerated or freezer warehouses. These racks can be used for products with sensitive expiration dates or products with long lasting goods. Mobile Racking Systems can be used for almost anything you can imagine in just about any situation for storage and warehousing needs.
Mobile Racking Systems can save space in a warehouse. Saves time for loading and unloading goods to get the product needed. And saves money in the long run especially with personnel not being as controlled as a corporation would rather have it.
So as with anything it's not about the money it's really about the control. These racks come with a price and as they say, "pay me now or pay me later".
