Join Eurorack to learn about types of Supply Chain Racking
Storage rack systems play an important role in determining the efficiency of logistics warehouse operations. Eurorack is a leading unit in constructing storage racks for many import-export warehouses:
Selective racks are the top choice for many businesses in the logistics field. This type of rack is highly flexible, suitable for storing a variety of product types. This advantage is very suitable for transportation warehouses, where many different items are stored at the same time.
With multiple wide aisles for forklifts, Selective racks achieve direct and accurate access to each pallet quickly. You know, the speed of loading and unloading goods is one of the factors determining the success of the supply chain.
Selecting Selective Racks for Logistics Warehouses
Double Deep racks are not widely used like Selective racks. Because of the less flexible design. They are created by 2 rows of opposing Selective racks. This design reduces access to pallets on the rack to only 50%. The pallet turnover rate decreases when handling outer pallets first before being able to access inner pallets.
However, Double Deep racks have superior storage capacity compared to Selective racks. They help warehouses with space problems to meet their storage capacity needs.
Storing more goods with Double Deep logistics racks
VNA racks are rarely used in logistics warehouses, mainly in warehouses with high ceilings. By maximizing the warehouse height and narrowing the aisle width to a minimum, the storage capacity of this type of rack is higher by more than 40% compared to Selective racks.
Although they have almost all the advantages of Selective racks, VNA racks are rarely used. One of the reasons is that these racks require specialized forklifts. Meanwhile, the cost of forklifts is quite expensive, putting pressure on investment costs. Also, the narrowed aisle affects the speed of goods in and out significantly. When choosing this type of logistics rack, you need to be very careful in calculating capital and circulation capabilities!
Increasing storage capacity with VNA racks
Drive-In racks are used for storing homogeneous products, often in warehouses specializing in storing agricultural products. The rack has a high storage density by eliminating most of the forklift aisles. Therefore, businesses fully utilize every square meter of floor space for storage.
Logistics companies often require Eurorack to combine constructing Drive-In racks with Selective or Double Deep racks. This solution brings higher flexibility to warehouse operations.
Preserving homogeneous logistics items with Drive-In racks
The 3 common types of pallets in transportation warehouses are steel pallets, plastic pallets, and wooden pallets. Some warehouses use a combination of different types of pallets.
Steel pallets have many superior advantages: sturdy steel material with large load-bearing capacity. The pallets are antibacterial, resistant to external environments. They can be used in warehouses as well as outdoor work when needed.
Choosing these pallets helps strengthen warehouse logistics operations to become more convenient. High durability and long service life help reduce long-term operating costs.
Superior advantages of steel pallets
Forklifts are indispensable auxiliary equipment in any logistics warehouse, responsible for transporting goods in and out of the storage system. Depending on the rack structure, choose the type of forklift that suits. For example, Drive-In racks require using forklifts with long reach to retrieve items deep inside, while VNA racks require using forklifts that move well in narrow spaces and have high reach,...
The load-bearing capacity of the goods also greatly affects the choice of forklift. Electric forklifts meet most of the needs of businesses. Along with simple operation and maintenance. For products with extremely heavy weights, you must use diesel forklifts.
Mobile ladders are tools that support moving up and down the levels of the storage rack warehouse. Although the stacking of goods is mostly done by forklifts, each logistics warehouse should equip its own ladder for use on the lower levels.

Goods trolleys are also chosen by many businesses for use. Because the number of forklifts invested is limited, we cannot completely handle or transport products in and out of the warehouse solely by forklifts. Not to mention in the process of arranging and managing the warehouse, many loading and transporting activities take place outside that forklifts cannot reach.
Trolleys support the operation of warehouse logistics racks
Eurorack hope these solutions can help you solve your storage problem to some extent. However, during the design and layout of logistics warehouse racks, you will encounter many difficulties that you do not know how to solve. Call us to receive valuable advice from Eurorack's experts!
