Use the Vertical
First of all, nothing is as confusing as hopping from pallet to pallet trying to locate a certain lot. When shelving gets behind schedule, you will notice quicker than anyone because that will be the moment when a critical part needs finding. Using the vertical means that aisles are clear for walking and you can locate each pallet by label without wasting valuable time.Match the Warehouse Storage Unit to the Product
An example of related products with disparate storage needs are tiny packets of computer chips, which need different storage than the large housings into which they fit. While housings are relatively sturdy, computer chips are delicate and can be damaged by magnets, dust, or careless handling. If you shelve computer chip packets in small bins on pallets, you can use a wave work assist vehicle to retrieve them. This unique product eliminates the need for rolling ladders. Picking an order for shipment has never been easier.
