The BITO Solution
- BITO installed mobile pallet racking to make optimal use of the available warehouse space while giving access to all pallet positions.
- With the number of service aisles being reduced to just one aisle which can be opened as required, this solution almost doubles the pallet storage capacity on the same floor area. It is also possible to open several service aisles at a time from an RF-terminal installed in the lift truck or from a hand-held device.
- Conventional pallet racking is mounted on a mobile base.
- The mobile bases move on rails embedded in the concrete floor.
- The rail channels can be milled into the existing hall floor or directly integrated into the flooring of a new building.
- Guide and support rails can be selected according to pallet weight to ensure optimum travel characteristics and safe storage.
