Live pallet racking is an option for compact storage for the new warehome or distribution center, and this style of pallet racking utilizes the force of gravity and pushing to maximize pallet storage.
The two primary types of live pallet racking systems are gravity FIFO and push-back LIFO system.
FIFO stands for first in, first out, while LIFO stands for last in, first out, however a diversity of storage systems solve the requirements of today’s warehome needs; Live storage is properly a compact system that makes use of the force of gravity to store the equipment loads, but heavy loads such as pallets and light loads such as cartons are accommodated to maximize storage capacity, efficiency and productivity… Each type of storage system offers particular advantages and downsides when compared to adjustable pallet racking systems. Live storage systems maximize available space, increase load capacity and reduce loading and unloading times. There is the occasion for higher stock flow speeds and with fewer aisles, reduction in movement times. All styles of live storage work with other adjustable pallet racking systems and avoid passafeway obstructions. Live pallet racking accommodates FIFO management by way of a streamlined metal structure featuring a system of roller moveors. A small incline allows the equipment laid to slide freely. Operation is basic; Pallets enter the structure via the loading area. As the load enters the interior of the structure, it moves along at a set speed to the unloading area.There are control, braking and protection measures in locale for safety. Separate aisles for loading and unloading allow separation and elevates the productivity and safety of the transit of vehicles.
