This document discusses various systems for palletized storage and handling in a warehouse. It describes common types of pallet movement including hand pallet trucks, powered pallet trucks, tugs and tractors, conveyors, and automated guided vehicles. It also discusses pallet stacking techniques and different types of storage systems for palletized goods such as block stacking, drive-in and drive-through racking, push-back racking, adjustable pallet racking, double deep racking, narrow aisle racking, powered mobile racking, pallet live storage, and automated storage and retrieval systems. Forklifts used for palletized storage include counterbalanced forklifts, reach trucks, and stacker trucks.

2. Introduction
What is palletization?
Method of storing and transporting goods stacked on a pallet, and shipped
as a unit load. It permits standardized ways of handling loads with common
mechanical equipment such as fork-lift trucks.

3. Pallet movement
A pallet sometimes inaccurately called a skid, is a flat transport structure
that supports goods in a stable fashion while being lifted by a forklift, pallet
jack, front loader, work saver, or other jacking device, or a crane.
containers commonly used for bulk shipping.

8. Pallet stacking
One of the most important parts of handling your warehouse pallets is to
make certain that the goods on them are stacked correctly. If they aren’t, at
best you’ll be wasting space. At worst, the products on the pallet could come
tumbling down, damaging the items and even hitting a worker. This could lead
to injury or death. It’s vital, then, that the goods on your pallets are stacked
correctly.
 Uniform Stacking
 Know the Right Height
 Know the Right Weight
 Watch for Loose Goods
 Stack Pallets Evenly

10. Stacker trucks

11. Counterbalanced fork-lift rucks
Industrial counterbalance forklifts are the most common trucks
used in indoor warehouses and stores, although they can be used
outdoors, on stable, even surfaces. They offer straightforward
operation and have dual forks at the front of the truck that lift and
transport the loads.

12. Reach trucks
Reach trucks are designed to work in narrow aisle warehousing
spaces. They have two outer legs that distribute the load weight;
with a wheel configuration of two or one wheels per leg. The
drive wheel is located under the operator's seating position. The
driver sits sideways when operating the machine

13. • Palletized Storage
There are many storage systems available for palletized goods
Block stacking
Drive in and drive through racking
Push-back racking
Adjustable pallet racking (APR)
Double deep racking
Narrow aisle racking
Powered mobile racking
Pallet live storage
Automated storage and retrieval systems

14. Block stacking
A very basic form of storage, in which objects are placed on a
surface (usually a flat floor) and stacked on top of one
another in blocks, is known as block stacking

15. Drive –in and drive through
racking
With drive-in racking, pallets are placed so they can slide backwards on
a rail, thus storing them more deeply and creating more space in the
warehouse. Drive-In Racking involves the forklift entering
the racking from one side to load or retrieve the pallets which are stored
more deeply.

16. Push back racking
Push back racking (also referred to as "pushback"racking) is a pallet
storage method that allows pallets to be stored from 2 to 6 deep on either
side of an aisle, thereby giving you higher storage density than other forms
of racking

17. Adjustable pallet racking (APR)
This is the most common form of pallet racking. APR is a system of
beams clipped into frames. ...Adjustable pallet racking allows beam
levels to be raised, lowered, added in or taken out depending on your
requirements

18. Double deep racking
Storing pallets two deep for better capacity. Double
Deep Pallet Racking is the best compromise between a selective and
high-density pallet racking system

19. Narrow aisle racking
Uses lift trucks designed to work in narrow aisles.Pallets in
very narrow aisle systems are 100% selective.

20. Powered mobile racking
Powered mobile racking is an electrically powered racking storage
bank involving a framed motor base with wheels that move along floor
rails with the press of a button or a remote control

21. Pallet live storage
Efficient and ultra dense storage. Our pallet live storage system provides
efficient and ultra dense storage of palletized goods with fewer aisles. This
increases your storage capacity considerably. It can also be used to avoid
unnecessary internal transport. Bringing pallets from one point to another.

22. Automated storage and retrieval systems
An automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS or AS/RS) consists
of a variety of computer-controlled systems for automatically placing
and retrieving loads from defined storage locations.
