How to choose a suitable cold storage racking system?

It is no exaggeration to describe the cold storage as "an inch of land and an inch of gold". Selecting the appropriate racking system, using every cubic meter for customers, and achieving the maximum utilization rate of the warehouse is a factor that rack supply companies need to consider. The following are several common types of cold storage shelves:

Warehouse and shelf in one: The warehouse and shelf in one is an ideal high-level storage system. The roof and side walls of the warehouse are directly fixed on the shelves, eliminating the need for warehouse construction work. Warehouse utilization is highest and long-term ROI is highest. At the same time, the technical requirements for the shelves are also very high.

 Shuttle racking system: It is a complete high-density storage system composed of shuttle pallet racks, shuttles and forklifts. This efficient storage method brings a new option for improving the utilization of warehouse space. The shuttle racking system is a very popular semi-automatic system, which can realize the semi-automation of cold storage with low investment. At the same time, it can also be combined with sub-cars, stackers, and warehouse management software to transform into a small and medium-sized shuttle-type three-dimensional warehouse system.

Drive-in racking system: It is a traditional high-density storage system. Forklifts drive into the racks to access pallets. These pallets are placed on cantilever rails and can be moved within the racking system. This kind of system has the smallest investment, but requires relatively high forklift operators. For cold storage with relatively large flow, more forklift operators may be required to operate.

Of course, there are other types of racks, such as double-depth pallet racks, push-back racking systems, and gravity racking systems, which are mainly selected according to the different requirements of customers. In general, there is no best, only the most suitable.
