Main Types of Cold Storage Racking
High-density system allowing forklifts to drive directly into the rack structure for pallet storage. Ideal for low-frequency operations and full-pallet in/out handling. It achieves a space utilization rate of 60%–75%, suitable for long-term storage of bulk goods such as meat and dairy products.
Uses an automated shuttle to transport pallets within the rack lanes, minimizing forklift entry into the cold room and improving energy efficiency. Adopts a "goods-to-person" operation mode, supporting both FIFO and LIFO strategies. Storage density is increased by over 30% compared with traditional racking systems. Ideal for storing single-category, large-batch goods such as food and pharmaceuticals.
Mounted on rails to create or close aisles as needed, increasing capacity by over 80% compared to fixed racks.
A high-density storage system that uses sloped roller or wheel tracks to allow goods to move from the loading end to the picking end by gravity, enabling a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) operation. Space utilization can reach 60%–70%. Ideal for industries such as food & beverages, dairy products, cold storage, pharmaceuticals, etc
Standard pallet racking offering easy access to every pallet, suitable for mixed SKU storage.
