Requirements:

Increase storage capacity: The company wants to maximize the warehouse's storage capacity to accommodate more goods.

Improve operational efficiency: They aim to enhance the efficiency of loading and unloading goods, reducing the time and labor costs associated with accessing goods.

Enhance safety: The racking system must comply with safety standards to prevent goods from slipping or collapsing, while ensuring the safety of forklift operators.

Solution:

The company decides to implement a drive-in pallet racking system to meet their needs.

Layout Design: The warehouse's interior layout is designed to allow forklifts to drive directly into the racking system. Typically, a double-sided entry design is used, allowing forklifts to enter from one side and maneuver along the aisle to push in or retrieve goods. This design maximizes warehouse space utilization and increases storage capacity.

Structural Design: The drive-in pallet racking system's structure is engineered to be robust enough to withstand the weight of goods and the operation of forklifts. High-strength steel is commonly used to construct the racks to ensure stability and safety.

Safety Measures: To enhance safety, the racking system is equipped with various safety features such as anti-slip pallets, safety guardrails, and warning signs. Forklift operators also receive necessary training to ensure they can safely operate the forklifts.

Automation Technology: The company also considers integrating automation technology with the racking system, such as automated forklifts or material handling systems, to further improve operational efficiency and reduce human errors.

By adopting a drive-in pallet racking system, the logistics company can more effectively manage their goods, increase warehouse utilization, and improve operational efficiency, thereby reducing costs and enhancing competitiveness.
