8 Reasons to Invest in Mobile Racking Systems
Mobile pallet racking systems are designed to maximise storage capacity by eliminating fixed aisles. This allows for more pallet positions within the same floor space compared to traditional static racking systems. This is far from the only reason to invest in mobile pallet racking over traditional solutions however, there's also:
1. Space Optimisation
By compacting storage aisles, mobile pallet racking systems optimise available floor space, making them ideal for facilities with limited space or those seeking to make the most of their Cold Store footprint.
2. Improved Accessibility
Mobile pallet racks enable better accessibility to stored goods by allowing operators to open aisles only where and when needed. This reduces travel time for picking and replenishment activities, increasing overall efficiency.
3. Enhanced Safety
Mobile pallet racking systems typically come with safety features such as aisle entry sensors, overload protection, and emergency stop buttons, ensuring safe operation and reducing the risk of accidents.
4. Increased Productivity
With improved accessibility and efficient space utilisation, mobile pallet racking systems contribute to increased productivity by streamlining Cold Store operations, reducing handling times, and minimising disruptions caused by aisle congestion.
5. Customisable Design
Mobile pallet racks can be customised to fit specific warehouse layouts and storage requirements, offering options such as varying aisle widths, rack heights, and load capacities to accommodate diverse inventory types and storage conditions.
6. Cost Savings
Although initial investment costs may be higher than traditional static racking systems, mobile pallet racking can result in long-term cost savings through optimised space utilisation, reduced labour expenses, and improved operational efficiency.
7. Inventory Control
Mobile pallet racking systems support better inventory control by providing clear visibility and access to stored goods, facilitating accurate tracking, monitoring, and management of inventory levels, rotation, and replenishment activities.
8. Adaptability
Mobile pallet racks can be easily relocated or reconfigured to adapt to evolving business needs, seasonal fluctuations, or warehouse expansions without the need for extensive structural modifications, offering long-term flexibility and scalability.
These benefits make mobile pallet racking an attractive storage solution for Cold Stores looking to optimise space, enhance efficiency, and improve overall operational performance.
