A new racking solution was released this year called The Pallet Mole. The Mole has to ability to increase the speed of your drive-in racking by up to 70%. One of the main advantages is that it can be rapidly installed. The Mole is designed to either run on totally new racking or over existing drive-in racking systems once converted. It’s a flexible system that can be altered and adjusted with minimum fuss and disruption to your operations. The Pallet Mole can still operate on a first-in, first-out basis, which means it won’t limit what you can do. It doesn’t need aisles either, so you can use it to maximize your warehouse floor space.
Another new innovation is known as push-back racking which effortlessly combines the benefits of live and drive-in storage. This racking solution can be positions effectively against a wall because both picking and replenishment is done from the front of the racking. Unfortunately, there are limits to this form of racking, which can only manage to store stock six pallets deep.
