Seamless Integration with Racking System

Shree Mahalaxmi Steel Industries is known as the best and most coveted name in the Storage, Warehousing and Automation industry. The company believes in creating state-of-the-art, economically efficient warehouse storage systems for decades as industrial storage racks manufacturer in Delhi.

There are different kinds of racking systems. We will be detailing about two of the most used storage systems - 1. Selective Pallet Racking (SPR) and 2. Drive-in Pallet Racking System

1.    Selective Pallet Racking (SPR)

It is the most widely used storage technique all over the world. The best features include - flexibility and cost-efficient. This storage system is the most suitable choice for huge volumes of palletized goods and a comprehensive range of fast-moving SKUs. The SPR systems can be easily constructed for various pallet sizes and weights like light, medium or heavy loads. The design can be easily modified according to variants of material handling equipment (MHE).

SPR allows a First in First Out (FIFO) inventory control system. FIFO means that the first item to go in will be the first one to come out. Selective Pallet Racking by racks manufacturers in Noida offers an exceptionally simple and 100% accessible route to every single pallet location. In other words, it allows a user to choose a pallet for loading or unloading without impacting the other pallets. The design is usually made up of two racks placed back-to-back with the rack depth of one pallet. We can utilize more space by customising the system for Double Deep pallet racking or Very Narrow Aisle Racking as well. Aisles in this storage system may range from 1600 mm to 4200 mm depending on the kind of MHE used. The utilization of storage space is low in the SPR system but it saves any extra expense by eliminating the requirement for special trucks and lifts.

Let us look at the Pros of SPR

•    Full and direct accessibility of all stock
•    Neat and easy to install
•    No particular lifts or trucks are required
•    Extremely adaptable and scalable

SPR is best suited for warehouses with a wide spectrum of Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) and high SKU turnover. However, it is not recommended for warehouses with a high volume of storage and a limited number of SKUs (Bulk Storage).

To conclude, the Selective Pallet Racking system is a simple, flexible, economical, and easy-to-use technique that permits complete access and control of the inventory. Since it is highly versatile and extremely easy to install,  the SPR system is undeniably the most prevalent solution for the bulk storage of goods.

Drive-in Pallet Racking System

It is one of the best bulk storage systems in terms of being the most space-effective and economical. This system has a minimum aisle-to-rack ratio. It is a highly compact design with a storage density shooting up to as high as 70% of the Floor Space Area. The Pallets are kept deeply in front of one another on racks with no aisles to facilitate maximum utilization of space. For a large number of identical items, DPR ascertains to be the best possible selection. As the name indicates, the drive-in pallet racking system literally permits you to drive your forklifts in the racks to store or retrieve your pallets.

In this kind of racking system by pallet racks manufacturers in Faridabad and Delhi NCR pallets are placed from back to front so it does not allow you to select specific pallets. For this reason, Drive-in follows the Last in First Out (LIFO) inventory management principle as compared to the SPR system.

The Drive-in system boasts impressively robust frames that are fully secured in place for the greatest safety and sturdiness. These racking solutions are very well suited for heavily loaded goods specifically those which are unstable or pressure sensitive. conventional forklifts use the same entry and exit points to drive inside the lanes of the racks to load/unload pallets. This system is easily customisable since it is usually 3 to 15 metres deep. Depending upon the MHEs, the height of the racks can be up to 10 meters high.

The variation of Drive-in and Drive-thru

The Drive-thru pallet racking follows the First in First Out (FIFO) inventory management principle, unlike Drive-in System. The Drive-Thru system is open from two ends,i.e, you can store pallets from one end and retrieve them from another. The DPR system is best to make optimum use of space and helps to save huge amounts of expenses on floor space. Warehouses with many pallets and few SKUs select this kind of racking system. The DPR systems are often installed in cold storage installations because of their cost-effectiveness factor.

Let us have a quick glance at the best features of the DPR system

o     Optimum space utilization

o     Cost-effective

o    Perfect for heavy pallets

o    Least damage to goods

DPR systems are best suited for warehouses with cold storage, bulk storage, seasonal goods, or high-rotation products that are time or date sensitive. They are not recommended for warehouses with more SKUs and a small number of goods per SKU.
