Q

The overhead pipes and sprinklers will limit the height both within the warehouse and within the racking itself

A

The presence and location of sprinklers (ceiling or in rack).

36
Q

Different types of forklift truck will have different lift-height capabilities.

A

37
Q

How a pallet is stored within the racking has its own trade-off within the warehouse. S

A

Pallet orientation (short facing or long facing)

38
Q

crucial aspect of warehouse layout

A

aisle width

39
Q

This can include changing from single-deep to double-deep racks, utilizing drive-in racking, narrow aisle racking or introducing articulated forklift trucks which can operate in narrower aisles.

A

Change the type of storage medium or mechanical handling equipment used.

40
Q

Unless stock items have different best-before codes, batch numbers or expiry dates it is worth checking how many part pallets there are of certain items and spending time consolidating them. This does require the use of labour but the trade-off is between the freeing up of additional space and this cost.

A

Consolidation of stock.

41
Q

In circumstances where the warehouse height is reasonably low, where products and packaging are robust and budgets are tight, this type of storage is the most common method of storing large quantities of single SKU products.

A

Block stacking

42
Q

Typical products stored in this way include white goods such as washing machines and refrigerators, kegs and barrels, cans and bottles.

A

Block stacking

43
Q

Sufficient space needs to be allocated for forklift trucks to access each stack. Also, in order to access the bottom pallet you need to move the pallets above.

A

Access

44
Q

The items at the bottom can be crushed by the weight of the items above

A

Damage

45
Q

Unless product can be accessed at both ends of the stack, items can only be despatched on a LIFO (last in, first out) basis

A

Stock rotation

46
Q

Utilization can be very poor if stock does not move quickly through the
warehouse

A

Space utilization

47
Q

This racking is present in the majority of warehouses worldwide. It is the most versatile of any racking without the need for any specialized handling equipment.

A

Wide aisle or selective pallet racking

48
Q

allows pallets to be stored two deep in the racking thus eliminating an aisle

A

Double-deep pallet racking,

49
Q

utilizes APR and provides storage for greater concentration of pallets by reducing the aisle width to circa 1.6 metres.

A

Narrow aisle racking

50
Q

provides a safe and efficient equivalent to block stacking for loads that are too fragile or unstable to be stacked on top of each other.

A

Drive-in racking

51
Q

driven by gravity

A

Pallet-flow racking

52
Q

It is perfect for fast-moving product with FIFO stock rotation.

A

Pallet-flow racking

53
Q

work by placing pallet loads on a series of nesting carts fed forward by gravity on rigid structural steel rails

A

Push-back systems

54
Q

Where floor space is very expensive, a warehouse can be made very compact if the units of racking are movable by being mounted on rollers.

A

Mobile racking

55
Q

similar to drive-in racking. However, it is operated by placing shuttles at the front of the racking, utilizing counterbalance, reach or narrow aisle trucks, depending on the height of the racking.

A

satellite system

56
Q

The shuttles are controlled remotely via a radio frequency (RF) battery-operated control system and special channel rails.

A

satellite system

57
Q

can buffer, sort, and stage palletized unit loads in exact loading sequence.

A

ACTIV System

58
Q

These consist essentially of massive blocks of racking, built as an integral structure to a high degree of precision, and often acting as a support for the building’s roofing and wall cladding

A

Very high bay warehouses

59
Q

ideal solution for long or heavy items such as pipe storage, timber, carpet or furniture storage

A

Cantilever racking

60
Q

Typical areas are above the inbound and outbound loading bays.

A

Mezzanine floors/raised storage areas

61
Q

It is a cost-effective piece of equipment to move pallets across short distances.

A

Hand pallet trucks

62
Q

These are battery operated and are used for loading, unloading, picking and pallet-transfer duties to and from the receiving and despatch areas

A

Powered pallet trucks

63
Q

These are utilized where distances between points within the warehouse are long and there is a requirement to move a number of pallets at the same time.

A

Tow tractors/tugs

64
Q

These trucks are used for moving pallets around the warehouse and when required can lift pallets up to 5 metres.

A

Pallet or ‘Walkie’ stacker

65
Q

most common trucks to be found in a warehouse.

A

Counterbalance forklift trucks (CBT)

66
Q

These trucks are ideal for working within narrower aisles.

A

Reach trucks

67
Q

These trucks are designed to operate with little more aisle space than their own width.

A

Narrow aisle or turret trucks

68
Q

This system utilizes fixed path cranes to collect pallets at the front of the racking system and transport them to empty locations within the racking.
