Advantages and features
- Offers maximum reliability and stock control
- Favours productivity

Automated pallet storage systems are solutions using stacker cranes or other similar automated mechanisms for handling loads. They offer high density storage thanks to the reduction of operating aisles and to their capacity for increasing in height. They also use minimum response times. Their reliability permits an immediate inventory of stored products and minimises mistakes in the handling of loads. Structures for automated storage can be simple or double-depth.

Rack clad warehouses can be made up of any type of storage system as their main feature is for the racking to form part of the building structure. In this system, the racking not only supports the load of the stored goods, but also the load of the building envelope, as well as external forces such as wind or snow. This is the reason why rack clad warehouses represent the concept of optimum use of a warehouse: in the construction process, first the racking is assembled, and then the building envelope is built around this structure until the warehouse is complete. Most rack clad warehouses are equipped with automated systems and robotic equipment for the handling of goods, especially of if they are multitier. In addition, AR Racking complies with the EN-1090 CE marking standard, mandatory for all manufacturers of self-supporting industrial steelwork structures installed in the European Community, as established in Regulation 305/2011 of the European Parliament.
Advantages and features
- Storage at heights.
- Optimum use of space.
- Maximum endurance capacity.

This type of high-density compact storage solution uses powered shuttles to automatically carry loads into the rack. The pallet shuttles are remotely controlled by an operator. Hence, there is an optimum use of storage space and workplace accident rates are also reduced. The use of automated shuttles in place of forklifts during the storage process not only reduces the risk of accidents, but also the maintenance costs resulting from damage of the rack. This system can work either as FIFO or as LIFO, even in freezer chambers, with temperatures of up to -30°C. This system reinforces logistical capacity qualitatively and quantitatively, since it automates the handling of goods on pallets; it is also possible to control the inventory through a system of sensors which count the stored pallets.
Advantages and features
- Low-cost maintenance
- Maintains operator safety conditions
- Significant optimisation of space
