Eurorack Mobile Racking

How to maximize storage density in minimal space? Installing mobile racks offers an intelligent solution by utilizing up to 95% of the floor area for storage. Specifically, it operates on a flexible door closing/opening mechanism. On one hand, it helps warehouses efficiently utilize floor capacity. On the other, it optimizes quick and safe import-export processes. Learn more about this type of rack through the article below!

Mobile racks are currently the most sought-after intelligent storage solution by many businesses in Vietnam

Mobile racks are heavy-duty steel shelving units with mobile bases fitted with wheels underneath for easy movement guided by rails on the floor. The steel shelving units operate horizontally, with each system's end equipped with an additional electric motor. Through a control command, the motor directs the shelving units to expand or contract the aisle for forklifts to move in.

In essence, the floor space is used almost entirely for storage, leaving only a wide enough area for the mobile aisle when needed. Thanks to this, mobile racks are considered the most intelligent and optimal storage solution today, especially in heavy-duty storage applications. On average, each pallet placed on a mobile pallet rack can provide an impressive storage capacity of 500 to 1000 kg.

Mobile racks are increasingly being widely applied, asserting their position as the highest-density storage solution while still providing direct access. By the principle of flexibility in adjusting the aisle positions between the racks, opening or narrowing them. This system has provided direct access to the pallets. thereby facilitating inventory management and control. Some technical standards of genuine mobile racks, you should also note the following:

• Heavy-duty racks 6 tons per shelf.
• Each rack block controls up to 16 racks flexibly and safely.
• Deep storage with a 40m aisle system depending on the storage plan and available warehouse space.
• The average moving speed of the racks on the floor rails is 3.5 - 4.5 meters per minute.
• Expand the aisle quickly in less than 60 seconds for cargo handling.
• Suitable for all forklifts, ensuring compatibility with aisle width and lift height.
• Operates well in cold storage environments, at temperatures as low as -35°C.

* Note: The aisle width in the mobile rack system depends on the forklift's width during operation. Additionally, this system typically operates on the principle of a single aisle design. However, it can open three aisles simultaneously with intelligent and safe operation mechanisms. This principle is constrained in the initial design and installation process.

Mobile pallet racks operate powerfully and steadily in cold storage warehouses

In general, the structure of mobile pallet racks is similar to other types of conventional racks. However, the most significant difference here is its base. They are equipped with electrically powered engines, including drive shafts, motor engines, and some guide rails installed under the warehouse floor.

Below is a detailed description of the components:

• Metal frame system: Where goods are directly stored. They can be installed on mobile bases as single or double units, depending on the usage needs.
• Horse unit: The main functional part of the mobile pallet rack system. It is also integrated with rollers to slide conveniently on the rails.
• Engine: An electrically operated machine, with a structure of multiple gears linked to the horse unit. Through this, they will transmit power to each system and move when activated.
• Rails: Guiding parts for the mobile pallet rack system to move. They are often set deep into the ground, ensuring smooth movement without any obstacles.

Maximum use of empty space: Mobile storage racks provide the ability to store more than 80 to 120% compared to conventional pallet racks. Because the floor surface only needs to leave a small groove just enough compatible with the forklift's width to operate intelligently.

• High pallet access capability: This is the only high-density storage system that allows direct access to all stored goods.
• Energy-saving solution for cold storage: Flexible expansion and contraction of the aisle ensure stable warehouse temperature conditions. Therefore, the amount of air needed for cooling will be less, reducing energy consumption.
• Suitable for unloading: with a multi-aisle operating mode, it can simultaneously open from 3 to 5 aisles (instead of only one) to perform unloading tasks (the number and width of aisles depend on the width of the installed guide rails).
• Flexibility: mobile racks can be adjusted to store loads that are not stacked on pallets, such as coils, conduits.
• Expandable: the mobile rack system can be adjusted according to the warehouse's development. It can be expanded by adding additional mobile rack units.
• Safety and durability: sturdy construction, equipped with many safety devices to protect operators and goods.
• High load-bearing capacity: each mobile base can move loads of over 6000 kg.

5 Steps of Operation for Mobile Racking Systems

Mobile pallet racks will automatically move using remote control or by using a control panel attached to the end of each rack row. Below is the step-by-step process for operating the rack system.

Step 1: Select the rack row for loading and unloading goods

You can easily select a rack row containing the items you need to load or unload and press the corresponding button to activate it.

Step 2: Open the aisle

Once activated, the racks will automatically open and will stop automatically when approaching another rack row or when reaching the end of the track. To do this, they will be equipped with sensors.

Step 3: Move into the aisle

At this step, the forklift operator will move inside to perform the loading task. Don't worry about the racks closing while the staff is picking up the goods because they will be obstructed by the cargo. Safety fences, especially emergency stop buttons, are in place.

Step 4: Exit the aisle

After stacking or unloading the goods, the forklift will move out of the system to prepare for the return step.

Step 5: Reorganize the system

Once the forklift has completely exited the aisle, the operator will activate the return button, and the entire system will be closed back to its original position.

In addition, for convenience in movement or inventory tasks, the racks also integrate a mode to open multiple aisles at the same time and stop when users feel the distance between the racks is enough to perform the task. This demonstrates a high level of flexibility as there are many options depending on the purpose of the work.

What type of warehouse should use mobile pallet racks?

• Warehouses with goods categorized under various SKUs. Requires quick retrieval capability.
• Regular and cold storage warehouses. Not only operates well and stable but also significantly reduces electricity consumption.
• Warehouses with items not stored on pallets such as rolled fabric, rolled packaging, and some other products.
• In particular, mobile racking systems are very suitable for warehouses limited in space usage.

Therefore, no matter what industry your business operates in, or how harsh the environmental temperature conditions are, you can still apply mobile racks in a versatile way.
