Maximum space usage and low operating costs

Channel storage systems are ideal for storing a narrow range of products which occupy large volumes. The compact storage system enables the largest possible quantity of goods to be stored in the smallest possible space. This minimizes the costs for temperature control, staff and general operating costs, while simultaneously increasing your flexibility.

Maximum space usage and low operating costs

Channel storage systems consist of multiple storage positions set behind each other in channels, creating a dense storage medium. The storage is accessed using channel vehicles which put goods into, and remove them from, storage. Compared with pallet racks, dynamic flow racks, automated miniload systems or high bay warehouses, channel storage systems make significantly higher use of the available space. Channel storage systems are utilised wherever the storage space itself needs to be minimized. The channel storage technology is ideal for a small range of items with large volumes such as in the beverage or food industry. This system is also a good choice in environments involving energy-intensive temperature control.
