Live Storage for Picking

The main function of the frame is to support the load levels of a bay, consisting of two vertical uprights, plus the diagonal profiles, base supports and corresponding accessories.

It consists of two beams joined together by a series of side safety pins.

The shim is a component located under the frame support in direct contact with the floor if it is uneven, to ensure the correct levelling of the entire structure.

This guarantees that the structure is well balanced and levelled, which is essential for safe operation.

The upright is the main component of the frame, and is galvanised, which provides support and stability to the structure.

It is a component that forms the vertical structure and helps withstand the load that it supports. Its design will depend on the load capacity that the racking has to support.

The beams are metal components attached directly to the frames. They are the horizontal elements that connect to the uprights and act as support for the racking pallets on which the stored products are placed.

They are manufactured in different lengths and widths according to the load capacity required and are adjusted between the uprights to define the horizontal distance between the racks and trays. They are also responsible for distributing the weight of the loads evenly.

The braking area may consist of different types of devices, such as special wheels or rollers that provide resistance to product movement. They can also include specific speed control mechanisms.

This component is placed at the end of the rail and is used for product braking and control, preventing its impact against the outflow profile.

Reducing the speed of the products before the presentation area facilitates the picking process and minimises the risk of accidents or damage to the products.

Metal components that have in their interior a set of wheels, pulley wheels or rollers that allow the sliding of the load.

This is one of the most important components of the carton live storage system. Its main function is to slide the load placed on the racking thanks to a slight incline in its structure.

This component may also consist of wheels, fulfilling the same function.

They are metal components used to divide and organise the products into different channels in the racking.

These dividers are essential to maintain the order and facilitate the identification and removal of products during the picking process. They also serve to help the operator to place the load on the racking.

These are tray-shaped flat surfaces located at the front of the inclined channels. These trays play an important role in the order preparation process, as they provide an easy to access and visible space for the products that are ready to be selected.

The presentation trays also act as a waiting area for the products that are at the front of the channels.

Once an item has been removed from the presentation tray, the goods behind it will occupy its place, thus maintaining a continuous flow of unit loads ready to be selected.

These trays can be tilted to facilitate the removal of the products that are stored inside a carton.

The confidence in our Carton Live Storage systems means we are able to offer 5-year quality guarantees against all types of manufacturing or hidden defects in the main structural components.

Since 2016, the main components of our racking systems have included a component traceability system.

With this system, the different components have an identifying marker, which means knowing and having documented each piece from source without needing to have the package label and, therefore, knowing the exact component, how it was designed or what raw material was used in its manufacture. 

The production process of our industrial racking systems is fully automated: it incorporates latest generation profiling machines with continuous cutting process and laser measurement control, welding centres, painting and packaging processes, all fully automated, guaranteeing the highest quality parameters.

Our Carton Live Storage systems are designed in our technology centre dedicated exclusively to R&D&I activities, as well as with the advanced engineering projects development area, which allows us to respond appropriately to more demanding logistical requirements.

With the creation of our Research and Testing Laboratory, together with the University of Mondragón, our technical area continuously tests and analyses products and materials to optimise our industrial racking.

It simulates, calculates and researches (with specialised software) the efficiency of the geometries, and makes full structural calculations on the behaviour of systems already installed in different situations.
