Pallet Racking
Storage of goods in a warehouse normally involves the stacking of pallets, with one pallet on top of another or placing the pallets into some form of racking. The wooden pallet is the most common unit load used in warehouses. It is said to be a convenient- sized unit load for moving products around the warehouse and for the its storage. As products are usually received in pallets, they are usually considered the "standard" or "basic" components in a warehouse. It enables standard storage and incorporation of material handling equipments such as forklifts, irrespective of the nature of products stored in the pallets. Take one of the local bearing company as an example, the picker (referring to the figure below) was picking the boxes of bearings from the pallets in the racks. In this case, the pallets are used as a form of storage in the warehouse. A wide range of equipment is available for effectively and efficient movement of pallets in the warehouses. The logo was blanked out to protect the confidentiality of the company.
There are many storage systems available for palletized for palletized products, ranging from simple block stacking to advanced computer- controlled storage system such as Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS). The various palletized storage systems mentioned later will compromise between the very dense storage of pallets with limited accessibility to each pallet and individual accessibility to every pallet, with the expense of occupying more warehouse space.

One note to take note. At times, rackings to be used must also depends on the types of pallets that the organisation are using. This is because it will affect how the pallets are to be placed and whether it is secure to be placed in the racks.
