Feb 03, 2024Pallet racking is a common warehousing system used to store and manage large quantities of goods. It consists of pallets, shelves and storage equipment. The following is a description of a simple pallet rack storage system:
The system first requires a sturdy racking structure to support the weight of the pallet and cargo. Shelves are usually made of steel with multiple layers of beams and columns to provide adequate support and stability.
Pallets are the basic unit for storing goods, usually made of wood or plastic. They come in standard sizes for easy stacking and storage on shelves. There is usually a pallet code on the pallet, which is used to identify information about the goods, such as name, quantity and weight.
Warehousing equipment includes mechanical equipment such as forklifts and stackers, which are used to move goods from the inbound area to designated shelf locations. Forklifts are typically used to move goods, while stackers stack goods to higher locations.
In pallet rack storage systems, goods are usually stored and managed according to certain rules and standards. For example, cargo can be classified and partitioned by type, size or weight. This improves warehouse efficiency and management.
In addition, the pallet rack storage system can also be integrated with other storage equipment and management systems, such as barcode scanners, warehouse management software, etc. These equipment and systems can help achieve rapid entry, exit and inventory management of goods.
