Best Storage Rack Guide

Racking isn't just steel beams but rather the solution to optimize production efficiency. Work efficiency of material flow increases through the requirement-specific design of the racking system since these racks are designed to occupy less area and optimise space. Shree Mahalaxmi steel industries cater to a very high level of customization as the racks have to be crafted based on the need and requirements of that specific client. The products manufactured at industrial storage racks manufacturers in Delhi are in compliance with the set industry norms and our quality controllers keep a check on the whole manufacturing process. The team of professionals at Shree Mahalaxmi ensure the quality of raw material procured is from the most authentic vendors, further checked at the laboratory only after that it is forwarded to the manufacturing unit. Prior to dispatch, all equipment is checked at the testing unit to ensure its ability to meet client standards and requirements.

Key steps to selecting storage racks 

o     First and foremost, examine the space to find if it requires shelving or racking. Generally, for large areas like warehouses, industrial racking is a suitable option. They are also useful when product flow is high or there are mammoth items stored.

o     Evaluate the type of storage racks that will best fit the space. The fitting solution can be a combination of styles as warehouse racking needn’t be limited to one size or type.

Which type of storage rack to use for a particular warehouse?

To maximise the space on a shop floor or warehouse, you must explore all the options available. The factors to be considered must include the following:

o   What is the product flow?

o   What is the total storage area possible? (include elevation in this number)

o   What SKUs will be stored?

o   Will they be stored on pallets?

o   Will there be a need for machines like forklifts?

o   What is the environment of the storage space? (E.g., freezer, dry, humid)

Types of Storage Racks are available at industrial storage racks manufacturers in Faridabad, Delhi and other NCRs.

1.   Carton Flow Rack -Ideal for products that 

                      I.        Come with expiration dates

                     II.        Differ in size

                    III.        Need cold storage or freezers

o   They are highly customisable, making them perfect for distribution centres that have high volume case-pick or piece-pick operations.

o   They allow the product to slide from the loading aisle (back) of the rack to the picking aisle (front) with the help of gravity. 

o   Carton flow racks also have brakes to control speed making offloading and on loading easy.

 

2.   Selective Pallet Rack – Ideal for access to all products simultaneously especially useful for those centres that have steady product circulation. Front loads and unloads the pallets from the front is possible in these kinds of racks

3.   Push Back Rack - Based on LIFO inventory management – last in, first out, these racking solutions are excellent for high-density storage as they reduce the aisle area required by the warehouse. This helps to increase the storage space available and is customisable by heavy-duty racks manufacturers in Noida. Push back racks are best employed when:

o    Several groups of items need to be accessed at the same time

o    A cold-storage environment like freezers is needed.

o    Push back racks are capable of supporting carts which move on inclined rails.

 

4.   Pallet Flow Rack – They look similar to carton flow racks but are designed for a much larger inventory movement. The wheels on the racks automatically glide the items from the back to the front, allowing fast movement of inventory. The brakes ensure that the speed is always in control. Based on the FIFO product management concept, they are perfect for:

o    Materials with different sizes

o    F&B storage

o    Products with quick expiration dates

o    Freezer storage

5.   Drive In & Drive Through Rack – The best solution for the products stored are homogeneous and massive quantities. Forklifts or lift trucks enter the front of the rack to load or unload a product. While drive-through racks are definitely more convenient, an additional aisle is necessary. They are also beneficial when:

o    The item has a long lifespan

o    The item needs to be moved only one-time

The storage racking system serves as the fundamental framework of all operations. The choice and utility requirement of any business establishment can make the storage racks become the ideal solution for space and last for an extended time. Storageracks manufacturers in Sonipat deliver quality stainless steel storage racks for all your industrial and commercial needs across India.
