Interchangeable frames as the basis for new drive-in racks

The new warehouse consists of three halls. The first hall consists mostly of extra-deep PR 600 pallet racks up to the ceiling. This is where the seat cushions and other positioning products are located, which are collected with a high-lift order-picking truck. "The racks have and depth of 1.20 meters and are in single rows, so we can pick from two sides. This prevents getting too much air in your storage," Stanley Meijer explained.

The second hall with six docks is partly used for loading and unloading trucks and containers. For bulky products such as lap mobiles and wheelchairs, there are drive-in racks along the wall opposite the docks. "We took those with us from the old warehouse," Stanley Meijer says. "Because the old drive-in racks were just a little too low, we used the frames of the old pallet racks in the new warehouse. Those are fifty centimeters higher, so we were able to create an extra storage level and put away 18 percent more pallets. This is one of the advantages of SSI SCHAEFER: The frames of the drive-in and pallet racking systems are interchangeable."
