Apex pallet racking update

Whittan Industrial Limited, manufacturers of Apex pallet racking have announced that the popular system is to become a secondary product line within their portfolio, with a reduced product range going forward. If you are looking for quality used Apex racking to replace damage or to add onto existing runs get in touch here or call us on 0800 368 6846. We have all standard sizes in stock available for quick dispatch.

Apex is among the more well established British made pallet racking systems, it was first manufactured in 1937 by Apex Storage Systems, later known as LINPAC Storage systems then Apex Linvar. It was bought by the Whittan Group in 2016.

It is instantly recognisable by its (almost) unique upright leg design where the beams drop into louvred slots rather than the punched holes seen on most other systems. It is also recognisable by its standard colour scheme of light grey fames and orange beams.

Contact us here or call 0800 368 6846 for all used pallet racking enquiries including Apex pallet racking.

How do I maximise warehouse space?

This article got my attention for the comments at the end….

Question: What are the best methods to maximise square footage in a warehouse operation? This article got my attention for the comments at the end….

Answer: There are many ways to maximise the operating space in a warehouse, dependent upon how accessible stock needs to be, and dependent upon the warehouse parameters.

I have seen over the years many methods employed, but outside of a standard pallet racked warehouse you are going to encounter stock being blocked in and the movement of pallets slowed down, as the retrieval will depend upon moving many pallets to get to the one you actually want.

So let’s look at the different methods available.

The first method is to install a mezzanine floor, which could effectively double the pallet holding in a warehouse. However, they are expensive for purely storage capabilities, but cost effective on a square footage basis, providing you have sufficient height in the building to take the floor a level up.

The second method is to block stack your pallets. Health and safety are quite strict on this method of storage so you have to be extremely careful in stacking, using square and topped pallets, so that you can stack three high. But, again, the down side is retrieval, as inevitably the pallet you will want will always be buried at the bottom of a stack, and you will need to move all the pallets out of the way to gain access.

The other downside is the notation of the pallets. If you move one pallet, then this could actively change the location of the whole row of pallets.

Block stacking will allow a maximisation of the warehouse, but will give difficulties in retrieval.

The third method depends upon the type of stock being held. For multi-pallet same stock items you can use either double deep or push-back systems. However, this entails the use of specialist pallet racking and, dependent upon the site, a counterbalance fork lift truck.  This method is very effective and used by the supermarket suppliers, whose profile is ideal for this type of system.

The fourth method would be a narrow aisle operation, which could operate in under 2m, with a very narrow aisle operation 1.5m. This would effectively reduce the aisle widths from 3m (normal standard aisle using a counterbalance vehicle or reach truck to 1.5m, and, dependent upon the size of the warehouse, you could maximise the space for storage quite easily.

The downside of a very narrow aisle operation is the need for specialist trucks for the placing and retrieval of pallets. You would require a swivel reach truck for such an operation.

And finally, you have automation, which can be done on various levels. Depending upon what you are stocking, this can be extremely helpful in maximising space. But I tell you truthfully, it is not for the faint hearted, as the capital investment required is normally in the seven- to eight-figure category. You can have an automated storage and retrieval system, as well as pallet build and even vehicle load sequencing.

The most curious method of storage I have observed was on my travels in Africa.

I attended a warehouse – well, a shack really – with no forklifts or pallets, and each storage area within the warehouse was one product. The warehouse manager told me that they stripped down the pallet to gain access to the carton, and these cartons were assembled into the shape of half a pyramid.

The half-pyramid rose to the roof and was supported by the wall of the warehouse. When needed, the pickers clambered up the pyramid to the very top to gain access to the stock.

A very clever way of maximising their warehouse space, but I don’t think our H&S would approve!

What is Pallet Racking?

Research and Technology over the years and an in-depth observation for better storage and handling techniques has resulted in the evolution of Pallet Racking.

Pallet Racking is specifically done for industrial shelving since industries need heavy duty, strong and secure shelves most manufactures trust Pallet Racking from CAEM. Though the shelves offered by caem are strong they are not rigid, they are adjustable and flexible too. Racking Beams can be removed and repositioned when changes in the use of the racking occur. There is an inter-locking system, a structure of great strength and rigidity can be maintained in spite of the fact that Pallet racking is adjustable. When the beams are slotted into structure and position in the frames is adjusted according to need they can be locked for most sturdy structure. Each beam has a steel safety lock pins which ensures the perfect position and prevents dislodging during the use. Industrial shelving is not very cheap and last for a long time. So it is worth the investment benefit you totally The pallet shelving will help you to be more organized and create more space reducing the clutter.
