Dexion-Mobile-Pallet-racking-MOVO-food

Dexion has been providing storage solutions for nearly 70 years helping companies ensure maximum space and time savings in their warehouses. Their comprehensive choice of systems embraces Standard Pallet Racking, a Shuttle Storage System, Drive-In racking and MOVO Mobile pallet racking – all suitable for ambient, chilled and frozen warehouse storage.

Dexion’s standard P90 adjustable storage for heavy or palletised goods, offers easy access and total versatility, with heights to 30m, variable depths and widths and 50mm beam height variation, making it suitable for all kinds of products without restrictions of layout.

Drive-in racking works best with large quantities of the same type of product and can improve on conventional racking density by up to 90%. Pallets can be efficiently stored behind or above each other on the LIFO principle, meaning only one aisle is required for both loading and picking principals, maximising storage capacity.

Mobile pallet racking – MOVO – considerably increases your storage capacity. Again Dexion’s Pallet Racking is used but on electrically operated mobile bases, which move to present rack locations within each aisle. This results in a smaller storage footprint, particularly beneficial in temperature controlled environments where construction and ongoing operational costs can be significantly reduced.

For goods with a higher turnover then FIFO pallet flow is the ideal choice, offering automatic stock rotation. Incorporating lanes of rollers set at a consistent gradient, the pallets move with the aid of gravity and speeds are controlled by strategically placed speed control rollers. For picking operations pallet seperation can be incorporated, allowing pickers to empty and remove pallets before the next full pallet is presented to the pick face. This system only requires two aisles for loading and retrieval.

Completing the Dexion range is the latest in Pallet Shuttle Systems, ideal for storing bulk goods in a LIFO or FIFO configuration. A semi automated shuttle moves within the racking to store and retreive pallets. This system maximises the storage density within a warehouse footprint, significantly improves daily pallet movements and can accommodate various pallet types in the same lane.
