 Modular and can be easily adjusted to your
needs.
 The pallet racking system is designed for
the optimised storage of goods of many
sizes and weights.
 The safe load capacity of the pallet
racking’s components is usually calculated
to ensure that they meet the requirements
of the FEM (Fédération Européenne de la
Manutention)
WAREHOUSE DESIGN

Benefits:
 The pallet racking system complies with
European regulations
 Computer aided design ensures the best
solution for every application
 Modular and flexible system
 Can be installed very easily
 Cost effective

VNA racking
Benefits:
 Aisle space is minimised
 Floor space utilisation is
high
 Improved order picking
efficiency due to lower
travel distances per pallet
WAREHOUSE DESIGN

Drive-in racks
 Drive-in racks increase storage space
utilisation.
 Drive-in racking systems eliminate picking
aisles and are the ideal solution for storing
large quantities of uniform pallets.
 The system provides safe block stacking for
goods, that are too fragile to be stacked one
on top of the other.

Drive-in racks
 Drive-in racking systems apply the LIFO (last
in, first out) principle for loading and
unloading.
 Drive-through installations are loaded and
unloaded according the FIFO (first in, first
out) principle.

Mobile racks
 Conventional pallet racking installed on
mobile bases.
 This unique setup allows opening and closing
of the aisles.
 Where storage space is expensive, for
example in cold-stores, mobile racking is the
perfect solution.
