Warehouse interior<br />
Conventional pallet racks<br />
The conventional pallet rack warehouse<br />
is intended for bulkier products and items<br />
with greater turnover (A type) placed<br />
upon pallets. Racks have two inferior levels<br />
to conduct direct picking from the pallets,<br />
while reserves are placed on superior<br />
levels.<br />
This storage system is characterised by<br />
its simplicity and capacity to adapt itself<br />
to the needs of the company. In addition,<br />
conventional pallet racks make it possible<br />
to directly access each pallet, storing the<br />
maximum number of unit loads in a safe<br />
and organised way.<br />
The miniload warehouse<br />
A miniload warehouse with four aisles,<br />
and two doubledeep racks (one per side),<br />
was installed, allowing storage of a total<br />
of 15,872 plastic euroboxes, 600 x 400 x<br />
320 mm in size. The height of the racks is<br />
12.3 m and the total admissible weight per<br />
box is 50 kg.<br />
All medium and small sized products are<br />
located in the miniload warehouse, generally<br />
B and C type items. These products<br />
are handled by four stacker cranes, three<br />
picking stations and a replenishment<br />
station.<br />
