Under what circumstances mobile racking (as shown in your Blog) becomes a preferred choice instead of other storage systems? Explain.
Mobile racking is usually planned during the planning stage before building and is used extensively in cold storage applications (both refrigeration and freezer types). Specially constructed floors with running and guide rails are required for the building of these racks. These rack works by reducing the number of aisles and increasing warehouse capacity without losing direct access to each pallets. The space saving can be so dramatic that economies are also seen in lighting, heating or cooling and ventilating costs.
Rack movement can be directed manually from a push-button control panel or forklift-mounted transmitter or automatically through a computerized processor that can be programmed to integrate with the warehouse management system. Its unique locking feature means that contents can be secured and access can be restricted.
Almost any type of racking can be used with mobile bases. It also can be used to store many types of palletized unit loads – boxes, drums, sacks etc. Alternatively rack beams can be decked out to form shelving for high density “archive” storage. It's probably to go with lower-throughput SKUs.
