This high-density storage solution uses a LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) system where pallets are placed on rails within a lane, allowing them to slide forward under their own weight. Multiple pallets can be stored deep within each lane, maximizing storage space and minimizing aisle requirements. Imagine a slightly inclined parking garage for pallets, with each lane accommodating multiple pallets one behind the other.
These systems offer significant advantages for businesses managing large quantities of homogeneous products. By reducing aisle space, warehouse capacity can be increased substantially. This efficiency translates into lower real estate costs and improved operational throughput. While the initial investment can be higher than conventional racking, the long-term return from increased storage capacity and operational efficiency often justifies the cost. The concept emerged as warehousing needs evolved, requiring higher density storage to manage increasing inventory volumes within limited space.
