              • Efficient and ultra-dense storage

                Pallet live storage, also known as gravity flow racking or pallet flow racking, optimises warehouse efficiency by utilising gravity and a dynamic storage system. Pallet live storage eliminates the need for workers or forklifts to travel within storage bays to retrieve pallets. Pallets are loaded on one side and gently roll down slightly inclined lanes due to gravity, positioning them at the picking zone on the opposite side. This significantly reduces picking times and expedites order fulfilment, i.e. the tour preparation for trucks.

                Overall, pallet live storage offers a dynamic solution for warehouses seeking to significantly improve picking efficiency, optimise space utilisation, and promote FIFO inventory management. stow’s pallet live storage system provides efficient and ultra-dense storage of palletised goods with fewer aisles.

              • Silo

              • The racking is the warehouse

                A racking silo, also known as a silo rack or clad rack warehouse, is a unique storage system that combines the functionality of industrial pallet racking with the structural elements of a warehouse building. stow Silo offers several advantages for warehouses looking to optimise storage space and efficiency.

                The core of the racking silo is a robust pallet racking system, typically designed for high-bay applications. This allows for storage of pallets on multiple levels, maximising the use of vertical space within the warehouse. Unlike traditional pallet racking which exists within a separate warehouse building, the racking itself becomes the load-bearing structure of the warehouse. Wall and roof cladding materials are directly attached to the racking uprights, eliminating the need for a separate building frame. By eliminating the need for a separate building structure, racking silos offer a potentially more cost-effective storage solution. Construction time can also be significantly reduced compared to traditional warehouse construction. Since the racking itself forms the building structure, construction time for a racking silo can be faster than building a traditional warehouse with a separate racking system.

                  • 1D pallet shuttle

                  • High performance, maximum autonomy

                    The stow Atlas® pallet shuttle is a semi-automated storage and retrieval system. It's essentially a motorised carriage that moves along rails within a designated pallet rack channel. The pallet shuttle can slide under a pallet and transport it within the rack channel. An electronic control system allows operators to send commands to the pallet shuttle for automated movement and positioning.

                    The stow Atlas® pallet shuttle eliminates the need for forklift aisles between each rack bay, allowing you to store more pallets within the same racking footprint. By automating the movement of pallets within the rack, retrieval times are reduced compared to manual forklift operation inside each channel. By minimising forklift travel within dense racking areas, pallet shuttles can also help reduce the risk of forklift accidents. Once the shuttle has received its loading and unloading instructions, it performs its tasks with maximum autonomy, operating without further human intervention.

                    • Optimised storage capacity
                    • Unlimited lane depth

                  • Mobile Racking

                  • Increase storage capacity up to 90%

                    Mobile racks or sliding storage rack systems, offer several advantages that can significantly enhance storage efficiency and operations within a warehouse or storage facility. Mobile racks eliminate the need for permanent aisles between static racking units. By placing mobile racks on rails embedded in the floor, you can create a single access aisle that moves powered by an electric motor, granting access to various shelving bays as needed. This allows you to store more products within the same warehouse footprint compared to traditional static shelving. With mobile racks, you can quickly move the rack to the desired storage bay, minimising travel time and expediting picking and retrieval processes. This can significantly improve overall warehouse productivity and efficiency.

                    • Compact storage with full accessibility

                    While small goods racking offers several advantages for storing and organising a large number of smaller items, there are also some challenges to consider:

                    • Wasted space Small items can leave a lot of empty space between them on shelves, reducing overall storage density. Traditional racking may not be efficient for irregularly shaped items. Double stacking
                    • Double stacking items can increase storage density, but it can also lead to instability and make it difficult to access lower-level items.
                    • Accessibility Densely packed shelves can make it difficult to access and pick individual items, especially for those stored deeper within the racking.
                    • Labelling Proper labelling of small items is crucial for efficient picking and inventory management, but limited space on shelves can make this challenging.
                    By acknowledging these challenges and implementing appropriate solutions, you can optimise your small goods racking system for efficient and flexible storage, picking, and inventory management.
