Live
racking system is kind of FIFO deep storage system where the pallets are placed
at one side (entrance side) of the racks and delivered to the other side by
means of gravity rollers.
When
the operator takes a pallet from the exit side of the rack automatically the
second pallet moves forward by the gravity rollers and stop at the end safely
thank to the breaks, mechanical stoppers and pallet separators.
Live
racking is one the most cost effective storage solutions as it helps to utilize
the warehouse because the system eliminates the picking aisles created by the
conventional systems.
It’s
the perfect solutions for intermediate warehouses and buffering operations
where a production line is feeding another production stage.
Unlike
the Drive in system the live racking system can store difference SKUs in the
different levels at the same aisle which makes it a versatile system.
Live
pallet racking reduces the travel time by forklifts leading to productivity increase
and decreasing energy consumption.
