How do I choose the right pallet racking system for my warehouse?

Start with four variables: the number of SKUs, the number of pallets per SKU, the required stock rotation (FIFO or LIFO) and the available building height. Selective pallet racking suits many SKUs with direct access to every pallet; drive-in, push-back, pallet flow and pallet shuttle systems suit fewer SKUs with many pallets each; mobile racking and automated warehouses maximise density when floor space is limited.

What load capacity can industrial pallet racking support?

Load capacity is calculated per project. It depends on the upright and beam profiles, the beam span, the height of the first level, the number of levels, the seismic zone and the floor slab. Each installation is engineered for the declared pallet weight and dimensions, and load signs should be displayed on every rack.

Do you supply racking and automation projects outside Europe?

Yes. MECALUX RACKING has a commercial network covering more than 70 countries, offices in 23 countries, 12 production centres and 7 R&D centres, supporting projects from design and manufacturing to installation and lifecycle services.

Can an existing warehouse be automated without a new building?

In many cases, yes. Pallet shuttles, autonomous mobile robots, conveyors and miniload systems can be integrated into existing buildings. A feasibility study reviews the clear height, floor flatness, fire protection and throughput targets before recommending a solution.

What information should I prepare before requesting a warehouse proposal?

Prepare a building layout with clear height, pallet or box dimensions and weights, the number of SKUs, daily inbound and outbound movements, the handling equipment in use and any growth forecast. This allows engineers to propose an accurate layout and budget.

What software is needed to manage an automated warehouse?

A typical architecture combines a warehouse management system (WMS) for stock and orders, a warehouse execution system (WES) to orchestrate tasks, and a warehouse control system (WCS) to drive automated equipment. Distributed order management (DOM) selects the best fulfilment location across a network of warehouses.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How many floor levels can a mezzanine rack system accommodate?

A: A mezzanine rack system can typically be designed to 2 to 3 tiers, doubling or tripling warehouse storage height and utilization.

Q2: How do workers and cargo move between mezzanine levels?

A: Staircases and guard rails are equipped for personnel climbing, while hydraulic elevator platforms or lifting tables can be integrated for cargo movement.

Q3: Which flooring board should be selected for different load capacities?

A: For loads below 300kg/sqm, an 18mm composite wood board is suitable. For heavier loads exceeding 350kg/sqm, 2.0mm or 2.5mm cold rolled steel boards (rated up to 500kg/sqm) are used.

Q4: Are the mezzanine rack systems detachable and relocatable?

A: Yes, the mezzanine racks are designed with fully modular, detachable components, making them easy to assemble, expand, or relocate.

Q5: Do you provide custom design and CAD drawing support?

A: Yes, our specialized design team provides free design services. Professional CAD designers will draw custom layout blueprints according to your facility's specific dimensions and requirements.

Q6: What industries commonly utilize these mezzanine racks?

A: They are widely applied in automotive, electronics, machinery manufacturing, parts distribution, and general industrial warehousing.
