BITO Pallet racking

Cost-efficiency and operational flexibility

Conventional pallet racking is widely used in all industries for its low investment requirements and great versatility. One of the most important reasons for choosing conventional pallet racking is that goods are directly accessible. In single-deep selective pallet racking, pallet loads can be accessed without having to move other pallets. All product lines and load carrier types can be easily stored, even those with a large weight and format. The racking layout can be easily modified and extended. Pallet racking also offers the option of picking individual items straight from the pallet, for example by integrating flow lanes at floor level height. 
 

Wide-aisle and narrow-aisle pallet racking

Many companies opt for conventional pallet racking with wide aisles because all standard forklift types and industrial trucks can be used. This means there is no need to invest in new industrial trucks. High-bay pallet stores with narrow aisles are ideal for optimising space utilisation. However, special narrow-aisle trucks such as reach trucks, high-bay stackers and order-picking trucks must be used. This often requires major investments in new service vehicles. Storing more products on the same footprint means that building extensions and new buildings can be avoided, both of which are significantly more expensive. Service vehicles in narrow-aisle warehouses are usually guided, either mechanically or inductively. Narrow-aisle warehouses offer greater security as access is limited to specialist handling vehicles operating with rail or wire guidance systems.
