If you are struggling with floor space, the answer is to GO UP!!
Multi-tier racking systems are a solution for businesses looking to maximise their storage area. The large steel structure of a multi-tier system may seem financially daunting, but this solution is much more cost effective than warehouse expansion or relocation, which could impact on business productivity.
The system is specifically designed to suit businesses running a picking operation with a number of SKU’s (stock keeping units) – online retailers and e-commerce operations benefit highly from the multi-tier racking solution. The system is extremely flexible giving the option of any number of levels and accessories required to suit the business’s needs. With the growth of online shopping, the need for more space is only going to become a bigger issue for businesses in the future.
Depending on your requirements, the warehouse design will incorporate the need for pallet tucks and trolleys – ensuring maximum space is provided to create an easy picking environment but also effectively use the space within the warehouse so efficiency is optimised and warehouse productivity can be maximised.
It is important to remember that you cannot store flammable products such as: aerosols, explosives or fireworks as per the Building and Safety Regulations within a multi-tier racking system.
Benefits of a multi-tier racking system:
- Provides huge increases in storage capacity (in some cases up to 100%)
- Allows for simultaneous order picking
- Increased floor space is gained for storage, packing and assembly needs
It is also possible to add the following accessories to improve the systems functionality:
- Goods lift, pallet gates, gravity chutes (for transferring products from level to level)
- Improved flooring – galvanised steel / timber decking
- Safety options – protective handrails / mesh netting
