Non- Palletized Storage (Small Item Racks, Carton Racks and Shelving)

Although pallets are commonly used in warehouses, there are products that are not suitable for palletization, because they are too small, too large, too long and etc. Some of these examples include bearings, carpets, drums and etc.

Various storage systems are designed to hold small items. They are namely small item racks, carton (bin) racks, shelving and etc. Below are some pictures of the non- palletized storage system.

Small Item Racks

Shelving is usually made from mild steel in its standard component sizes to the different heights. It is considered inexpensive and gives random access to the products. It has be known that adjustment to the shelf heights is not easy after a certain period of usage. Shelving can be installed at multiple levels. The lighter products are recommended to be placed on the top shelves and heavier at the bottom. Refer to Location Addresses Plays An Important Role in Storage System for more details.

Carton Racks

Small easily handled cartons which store products of manageable weights, are placed in the different "slots" of the racks. Not only does this form of storage has to be in cartons; some uses tote pans and bins. The tote pans can be preferred to cartons as they are made of plastics and are more durable.
