Mobile racking
Short definitionRacking that moves on rails. Only one aisle is open at a time, so more pallets fit in the same room.
The rack blocks are motor-driven and travel on rails set in the floor. Normally they stand closed up together. An aisle is opened in front of whichever rack needs to be reached.
Direct access to every pallet is kept, while most of the floor area given over to aisles is won back. In frozen stores, where refrigerated volume is expensive, it pays back quickly. The rails are planned together with the floor slab.
