Mobile pallet racking is a high-density storage system designed to maximize warehouse capacity by mounting pallet racks on motorized mobile bases. These bases move along rails installed in the floor, allowing the racks to be compacted together when access is not needed and opened up to create an aisle only where needed. This eliminates fixed aisles and offers nearly double the storage capacity of conventional selective pallet racking, making it ideal for facilities with limited space or high-density storage requirements.

Key Features and Benefits

  1. Maximized Storage Density: Mobile pallet racking eliminates the need for multiple fixed aisles, enabling racks to be tightly packed and maximizing storage density in a given area.

  2. Selective Access to All Pallets: While providing high-density storage, this system still allows direct access to every pallet. Operators can open an aisle at any desired location, combining density with selectivity.

  3. Optimized Space Utilization: Mobile racking can effectively double the storage capacity of a space by converting fixed aisles into dynamic, open-on-demand aisles. This makes it particularly suitable for high-rent or space-constrained areas.

  4. Improved Safety and Security: Mobile racking systems are equipped with safety features, such as sensors and emergency stop buttons, to prevent accidental movement and ensure operator safety. They also provide security for high-value goods by limiting access when aisles are closed.

  5. Reduced Operating Costs: By maximizing storage capacity, mobile pallet racking reduces the need for additional warehouse space and can help lower overhead costs associated with facility expansion.

  6. Ideal for Cold Storage: Mobile racking is particularly advantageous in cold storage facilities, where maximizing space is essential to reduce energy costs and ensure efficient use of temperature-controlled areas.
