Mobile High Density Compact Pallet Rack Systems

Up to 40% of warehouse square footage is consumed by material handling equipment (forklifts). Southwest Solutions Group systems turn wasted warehouse aisle space into productive storage space or allow you to double the storage capacity of your original space.

With today's emphasis on reduced inventory, rapid throughput and quick response to market needs, an industrial system should have three qualities; fast, easy access with 100% selectivity, efficient cube utilization, and high return on investment (ROI) with quick payback. More than that, the ideal storage system is an important contributor to workflow effectiveness and productivity. Whether for parts and materials, tools, drawings, files, work in process of finished goods, its main purpose is to store material to be used...not just to sit there. Storage is dynamic, not static.

Twice as much material, or more, can be stored in the same area. Or, half the space you need can be used for something else. Click here to see video . By using less space, it is possible that the stored material can be located closer to the point of use for faster retrieval. Mobile pallet rack storage systems provide maximum density with no compromise on selectivity and ease of access.

With a single person loading or picking, you need only one "moveable" aisle to reach every shelf facing. With two or more people working the system, the mobile carriages can be divided into bays with an access aisle for each bay so each person can get at the system independently.

Anything that can be moved by a lift truck or crane can be stored on a mobile pallet rack system. There are virtually no size, bulk, shape or weight design limits. So far, nobody has come up with a serious load requirement that we couldn't meet. We've built everything from small 30" wide shelving units for shop floor offices to warehouse carriages 150 feet and longer with load capacities over 250,000 lbs. We've even put our system in freezers to maximize their storage capacity.

Mobile high density compact pallet rack storage systems typically pay for themselves in two years or less on space saving alone. If they eliminate need for new construction, the payback can be much faster. It is not uncommon for the inventory reduction resulting from a more efficient storage system to generate and almost immediate payback. And that's still not counting the operational benefits of faster access and improved workflow. Below are just a few of the savings our customers have experienced:

• Precision metal products fabricator stores incoming raw materials and tooling on mobile rack system adjacent to loading dock, creating space for expansion.
• Dairy food industry supplier avoided building a second finished-goods warehouse by installing a 158 foot long mobile rack system down the middle of existing warehouse.
• Computer assembly plant in relocated small parts from off-site warehouse to mobile system adjacent to production area.
• Frozen antibiotics from this pharmaceutical firm are stored in modular freezers? Mobile carriages save $100,000 investment per freezer, 50% in energy costs.
• Textile weaving mill in reduced storage space on plant floor by 30% and increased storage capacity by 25% by relocating loom beam racks on heavy-duty mobile carriages.
