Bulk Storage Racks

SMP Construction builds, buys, and sells both new and used bulk storage racks of all designs and sizes nationwide.

Conventional Bulk Storage Racking
A large number of warehouses need to categorize and store palletized materials by sku numbers. These same warehouses need to control their stock by direct, quick access to each individual sku. For these operations, SMP Construction recommends using conventional bulk storage racks. These racks can be designed as either single-depth systems for more spacious environments, or as double-depth systems for tight spaces where pallets must be placed in front of each other to conserve space in tight quarters.

Bulk Live Storage Racks
Other warehousing operations often require more rapid removal of pallets from racks. These typically are companies dealing with perishable items like food products and prescription drugs. Live storage racks are the best storage systems for these outfits. They use gravity inclined flow racks that allow pallets to slide from one side of the deck to the other at a controlled rate. This adds up to a significant reduction of wasted time and a more streamlined operation at the end of the day. Drive-in Bulk Storage Racks
Some warehouses store each type of article on a separate pallet, and have enormous inventories consisting of homogenous product groupings. These products may remain in storage for up to six months. With such stockpiles, efficiently consolidating space is paramount. Drive-in bulk storage racks can convert up to 85% of previously wasted space into new, efficiently managed inventory space. One way these storage systems do this is by getting rid of unnecessary aisles and providing either a single front entrance or a front and rear entrance for forklifts to drive into for loading and unloading as needed.

Push-back Bulk Storage Racking Systems
When thing are already out of control in a warehouse and floor space is being cannibalized for storage, it is time to take drastic measures with a push-back bulk storage rack. These systems are built with trolleys that move along slightly inclined rolling rails. When a pallet is removed from the end of the rack, all the pallets behind it slide into place.

Mobile Bulk Storage Racks
When it is necessary to provide direct individual access to each pallet, but also reduce the number of aisles between storage areas, a mobile bulk storage rack is the best way to consolidate space. It turns on a motorized base that moves the pallet into position for unloading, and allows for reloading in the same manner. These systems can be manually operated or remotely operated by computers.

Clad-Rack Bulk Storage Warehouse Racking Systems
What if you need a bulk storage rack the size of your entire warehouse? Some very large storage facilities actually do. These racking mega-giants are called Clad-Rack systems and are typically erected on the warehouse foundation prior to the warehouse walls and roofs being literally built around them. This effectively uses every possible square cubic foot of area in the building as storage space.
