Mobile Pallet Racking

Storage space and operating space are two elements of warehouses and industrial facilities that can be extremely difficult to balance. Additional storage space often comes at the cost of existing operating space and vice versa, making it difficult to enhance your facility in one way without compromising it in another. While conventional pallet racking systems provide storage capacity at the cost of floor space, modern solutions like mobile pallet racking systems allow you to increase storage capacity and floor space simultaneously. As a leading provider of mobile racking systems and other modern products for operations of all sizes, the team at Commander Warehouse Equipment knows how important it is to invest in the right equipment. That is why we have provided some information to help you understand what mobile pallet racking systems are and how they can enhance your operation for years to come.

Learn about 3 reasons to hire a professional to install your pallet racking system.

An Overview of Mobile Pallet Racking Systems

Mobile pallet racking systems are comprised of conventional metal pallet racking systems that are installed on mobile bases. These mobile bases move along rails embedded in the floor, allowing for smooth and safe movement, even for full racking systems. This unique setup allows you to easily reposition each rack as needed throughout the day via simple user controls.

3 Benefits of Mobile Pallet Racking Systems

Mobile pallet racking systems offer the following benefits for various industries and facilities:

1. Increased Storage Capacity and Floor Space

Mobile pallet racking systems allow facilities to reduce their storage footprint by up to 50% or double their storage capacity without occupying additional floor space. This allows operations of all sizes to enhance their storage capacity without compromising work areas or creating extremely narrow aisles. By utilizing mobile pallet racking systems, operations can use their current equipment while enjoying the benefits of additional floor space or storage capacity.

2. Easy Push-Button Operation

Each unit is controlled via a smart user interface that can be customized with an optional LCD touchscreen tablet. This makes it easy for workers to reposition racks and access products, enhancing productivity by allowing for improved workflows and inventory management. Every mobile pallet racking system is also equipped with various safety features that comply with the highest industry standards, enhancing safety for employees.

3. Options for Various Industries

Whether you are a warehouse, industrial manufacturing facility, or service centre, you will benefit from a mobile pallet racking system. These units are designed to safely hold boxes, packaging, wooden pallets, large mechanical parts, and pallets of food products, making them the perfect fit for nearly any industry and facility.
