The different types of storage systems
A warehousing system, as an important component of intralogistics,consists of an organized set of structures and processes for storing, managing and protecting materials and personnel.Shelving systems
Pallet racking:
- Least expensive
- Ideal for standard pallets.
- Ideal for a large volume of pallets.
- Offers a high degree of flexibility in the design.
- Easy to access with any forklift.
- Easy to change over time.
- Offers a very good resale value if you stay in the popular sizes.
Cantilever racks:

- Designed for long and bulky loads (tubes, profiles).
- No vertical supports between loads, optimizing space.
Light shelving:

- Perfect for small parts and packaged items.
- Easy to install and move.
Mezzanines
A mezzanine is an intermediate floor built into an existing building.
- Create additional levels in a warehouse.
- Allow to double or even triple the available storage area without enlarging the main structure.
Dense storage systems
Designed for low-rotation products, maximize storage capacity.Systems Push-Back:

- The pallets are placed on inclined rails.
- The last input palette is the first output.
- Ideal for low rotation products.
Systems Pallet Shuttle:

- A self-guided trolley moves the pallets inside the channels.
- Very high storage density.
Other systems
- Dynamic racks:
- The pallets slide by gravity on inclined rails.
- Ideal for products with high rotation.
Self-supporting systems:
- The racks are supported by the loads themselves.
- Optimization of floor space.
Modular systems:
- Great flexibility in the design.
- Easy to adapt to changing needs.
The benefits of installing a storage system

- Maximising storage capacity: making the best use of vertical and horizontal space.
- Efficient organization: facilitate the localization of products and thus reduce search time and errors.
- Flexibility: Many storage systems are modular and can be adapted to your changing needs.
- Reduced handling times: reduce order preparation and loading/unloading times.
- Increased accuracy: specify inventories and reduce losses.
- Optimized workflow: coordinating different operations
- Loss reduction: limiting losses due to damage, theft or inventory errors.
- Optimisation of the supply chain: reducing transport and storage costs.
- Product protection: protect products from damage, theft and adverse environmental conditions.
- Employee safety:reduce the risk of workplace accidents.
- Visibility on stocks: track stock levels, product locations and movements of goods in real time.
- Improved decision-making: Optimize processes and make informed decisions.
