Stack Racks and Big Sale Events |
Posted: June 2, 2020 |
Stack racks are amazing for high-volume stores. It is especially true if the stores keep their products in the original pallets or skids. If that fact is true then stack racks might be the best racking system for a business. There are several reasons why this is true and we will go over them in the paragraphs below. High volume products As stated earlier stack racks are perfect for high-volume e-commerce stores or regular stores. The fact is that most manufacturers deliver their products in pallets. These pallets easily fit into the stack rack system which makes it very easy to move from a product that is sitting on the warehouse floor to a product that is in an industrial storage solution. The best part about this is that the product is stored in the storage solution in a way that allows people to do their work very quickly. There are plenty of industrial and pedestrian storage solutions that require you or your workers to unload the products from the pallet rack in order to put them on the shelves. Obviously, it would make more sense, if they are high-volume products, to just leave them on the pallet or skid so that they can leave the warehouse in a quick fashion. Stack racks facilitate this action better than pallet racks. Stackable The majority of stack racks that you will find in the marketplace are stackable. It is a good thing because again you do not have to remove your product from the pallet or skid. You can just stack them on the stack rack to varying levels of capacity. You just need to keep in mind that most stack racks can handle around 2500 pounds of product or pallets as a light-duty version. However, you are able to get stack racks that can handle up to 4000 pounds of product or pallets if you wish to do so. These are designated as heavy-duty stack racks. Therefore, if you happen to see a stack rack as a used product or a new product then you know the difference between a light-duty or heavy-duty stack rack. Long-term Storage Of course, this does not mean that you cannot use a stack rack for a long-term storing solution. For example, if you happen to do your Black Friday sales and then find that you do not move all of the products then do not fret. You have these racks. You can hold those products as long as possible with respect to expiration dates if applicable. If you have space you could even hold the product and tell the next Black Friday sale rolls around. It is really up to you because these stack racks are very flexible for the use case you find yourself in right now. Thus, buying a used or new stack rack is an advantage, especially if you need a long term storage solution for your business. Used vs New Of course, if you do decide to go with the used route for your stack rack then you need to make sure that you have everything you need for the permit process. A truth about industrial storage systems is that many local governments want to get involved to make sure that your warehouse is safe. This is actually a good thing for you and your employees. However, that means that you need to make sure that you understand a few things when you get your stack rack used or new. Seismic Activity Many of the local governments are concerned with seismic activity underneath your business. The truth is that any kind of seismic activity that happens underneath a business is dangerous for obvious reasons. The other thing to keep in mind with this seismic activity is that it affects your storage solutions. If you have 2500 to 4000 pounds of weight held by a stack rack then it could be dangerous if anyone is around it when seismic activity happens in your area. Therefore, you need to make sure that you get the seismic calculations from whoever you buy your industrial storage solutions to make sure that they coincide with what your local government wants. If you do not do this then the local government may be forced to shut you down if they feel that the danger is too great. They may choose to ask you to take all of the products on that pallet rack off. Moreover, they may ask you to disassemble the rack. Therefore, you will have to store the rack and the product that was on that rack. A problem if you have limited storage space. Remember that a stack rack is still a plus for your business. If you have high volume sales then you can use the stack rack to store your product. You can also access those products from all four sides of the rack. The fact that you can do this means that you can easily get what you need quickly and easily for shipping purposes. If you ship a lot of products quickly then this is a major factor that you need to consider for your particular business.
