Thoughts on Mobile Racking Solutions
These days, in order to make the most of warehouse space, many people are turning to mobile racking solutions. These often offer more than 50% more storage capabilities than fixed aisle racking. However, mobile racking units that use hand cranking often have a low load limit of about thirty tons. It’s possible to get powered mobile racking units which can be controlled via the forklift and have increased load limits up to a couple of hundred tons. It’s worthwhile remembering that while mobile racking increases productivity rapidly, it is also much more costly than ordinary static shelves and also has higher damage rates. Nonetheless, the flexibility that it provides is tempting and if you can afford to make the investment, it could give you the advantage over your competition.
