Yes. Properly configured mobile racking can provide direct access to stored pallet positions while reducing the number of permanently open aisles, because the rack rows move to create an access aisle where it is needed.
Traditional pallet racking normally requires a series of fixed aisles so forklifts can reach different rack rows.
Mobile racking places rack structures on powered mobile bases or rails. When access to a particular row is required, the system moves the rack rows to create the necessary aisle.
This provides a combination of:
- High storage density
- Direct access to stored inventory
- Reduced permanent aisle space
- Flexible access to different rack rows
Mobile pallet racking is therefore different from systems that achieve density by sacrificing direct access.
Swisso Storage offers powered mobile racking and mobile shelving designed to maximize available storage space while maintaining controlled access to inventory.
