Dense Storage: Store More For Less With The Maxipacker Storage System
Take your storage system to a higher level without absorbing greater costs.
If you need to store multiple pallets of a single (stock keeping unit) SKU or many pallets going to the same destination, there may be no better way than the Maxipacker Storage System.
The Maxipacker System allows your warehouse to achieve near-perfect density, by carefully considering many different variables. The “pros” and “cons” of this high-density system are as follows:
Pros:
- Almost perfect density - no aisles required.
- Eliminates crushing and leaning - full clear height can be used with no height restriction from forklift overall collapsed height of mast.
- Price per pallet stored is the lowest possible.
- No honeycombing.
- No rack damage - truck does not enter the rack.
- Very reliable - the shuttles are very simple and require very little maintenance.
- Very fast/pallet transactions are seamless.
- Density is 90% or greater.
- Pallet storage is dynamic. Pallets are conveyed in the FIFO system from inbound (manufacturing) to outbound (shipping) without the use of forklift trucks.
- Due to storage density, multiple warehouses can be consolidated into single warehouse.
- Companies save money by turning off the lighting over the racking. Only the inbound
and the out-bound sides need lighting. Warehouse is, as a result, cooler and less expensive to run.
Cons:
- Pallets must be of good construction.
- Pallet dimensions and product dimensions must be similar - multiple sized pallets cannot be stored in the same lane.
- Selectivity is reduced. Ideally, pallets need to be of same SKU or lot or shipping destination.
Semi-Automatic Pallet-Flow and Drive-In Racking System
Additionally, Raymond Handling Solutions offers a variety of deep-lane semi-automatic dense storage systems that combine the density of drive-in systems with the benefits of pallet-flow systems. These, in turn, can be easily positioned and repositioned by lift trucks of an existing fleet.
