Storage Units Columbia

The rack storage system can be mounted on a metal frame, with small rollers establishing the inclined plane so that the loads can slide through gravity. The rack is generally applied in the flow-rack system, ideal for storage, with picking boxes containing products for order picking. The rack storage system applies the FIFO selective system, that is, First-in, First-out, where the first incoming product is the first product that comes out in the incline tray.

In the rack storage system boxes are used which together with the continuous conveyor lines allow the storage of products that will be packaged and then shipped. The cartons are sequenced on one side and withdrawn on the other side, where they are then emptied so that the products are packed in the conveyor lines.

In the design ofstorage units Columbia, it is necessary to dimension the accessories, ensuring greater fluidity in the goods and providing greater productivity for the system operators, such as:

• Dimensions of the box, with the front, depth and height measurements
• Number of plans per module;
• Number of boxes per plan;
• The load for each box, in kgf;
• Number of boxes to be stored.

Rack storage system, taking advantage of available height

The storage units Columbia also allows the best use of the height available in the storeroom, since they can be stacked and transported without any difficulty and without transferring the total weight for the goods, since everything must be done by lifting and transport systems.
