Groupe ITC offers five main types of pallet racking: selective, mobile (Shuttle Rack), gravity (push-back), dynamic (pallet flow) and drive-in (condensed static). Each type optimizes storage density, pallet accessibility and stock rotation differently.

The choice mainly depends on your stock rotation (FIFO or LIFO), the level of selectivity required, the target storage density and your budget. Selective racking gives direct access to every pallet, while condensed systems maximize capacity at the expense of selectivity. Our consulting service helps determine the optimal configuration.

Selective racking provides direct, individual access to each pallet, ideal for a wide variety of SKUs. The drive-in (condensed static) system stores pallets in depth to maximize capacity but reduces selectivity. The first favors accessibility, the second density.

For FIFO rotation (first in, first out), dynamic pallet-flow racking moves pallets toward the exit by gravity. For LIFO rotation (last in, first out), push-back gravity racking or drive-in systems are more suitable. The choice depends on the nature of your products and their expiry dates.

The Gravitex 3D is a patented Radio Shuttle Rack system designed for high-density pallet management. It combines a motorized shuttle with a condensed structure to deliver efficiency and reliability in high-volume warehouses.
