Multi-Level Pick Modules
Pallet rack is very versatile and can be used to create mezzanines and multi-level pick modules. The pick module is a multilevel structure that utilizes rack components integrated with a variety of product flow components to provide both full pallet storage as well as small case picking functions. These systems provide dense storage of product parts and facilitate the compilation of multiple SKU's for shipping. This allows work to be concentrated in a limited area and to feed fast moving cartons to pick-to-belt conveyor applications.
Components usually found in a multilevel pick module include the rack structure, flooring, stairways and landings, handrail, full pallet flow, carton flow, reserve storage, shelving and conveyor.
