180% higher storage capacity – up to 50% less floor space occupied!Optimum floor space utilization and high storage den-sity are the catchwords most frequently heard in con-nection with storage costs. Whenever storage space is at a premium or storage space occupation is to be reduced in order to create room for a different use, mobile racking systems are the most efficient solution.

Depending on the system employed, compact storage permits raising capacity by as much as 180 percent

and saving up to 50 percent floor space. This consi-derably reduces the cost of investment in new ware-house buildings.

Up-to-date warehouse and workflow management systems as well as sound planning and project monito-ring help make visions of the future reality today.

Features> PROmobile mobile pallet racking in cold store> storage of foods in readiness for delivery> hand elevating trucks can be inserted under racking for picking

FunctionFor more than 80 years Brezel Ecker GmbH in Homburg-Erbach has been distributing frozen foods, from pretzels to pizzas to nougat croissants. The IFS (International Food Standards) certified company stores its products in cartons on pallets. When new goods arrive, they are stored in the PROmobile mobile pallet racking facility.

Case study

compact storage efficient for cold storage large range of articles access to all pallets suitable system solution, so no waits flexible system use

Brezel Ecker Frozen foods

-28° C

This facility consists of two blocks separated by an aisle. The PROmobile pallet racking offers Brezel Ecker the possibility of accessing all articles. The different products are picked according to order and placed on pallets. The storekeepers then make them available for the delivery rounds. PROmobile mobile pallet racking is particularly efficient in cold store applications since the system has inherent advantages and lower energy costs are incurred due to the compact storage.

FunctionIn their safety line, UVEX Arbeitsschutz GmbH in Fürth is a distributor of safety eyewear and respiratory pro-tection masks. Products assigned for final assembly as well as finished products are stored in palletised bins, containers and cartons on mobile pallet racking.

Case study

Benefits

Pallets are fed out for order picking as required. As mobile installations do not need several service aisles, floor space occupation is considerably redu-ced. i.e. can be optimised. By opening a racking aisle where and when required, all pallets can be accessed at any time. Replenishment and retrieval are effected by hand pallet truck or front stacker.
