Make more efficient use of space

Index Procon says that by using its Powered Mobile Racking it is possible to increase utilisation of floor space by up to 80% when compared to conventional racking systems, while maintaining 100% access to all storage locations.

The racks are mounted on electrically powered steel framed bases running on rails mounted within the floor slab.

Racks are closed together in blocks, each with a single access aisle which is only opened to enter the required rack face.Where these aisles are matched to the number of forklifts available and managed well, there is no loss of productivity as the forklifts can only ever be in one aisle at a time, says the company.
