Pallets are reached from aisles that are dimensioned according to the mechanical trucks used. Live Storage pallet racking – Pallet live storage reduces travel time between locations. The long storage lanes allow the handling of large volumes of common products with live storage. Pallet live storage helps you reduce energy costs: lighting is limited to the load and unloads areas.

Driven by an electrical motor, the mobile base moves along the rails to open one or more access aisles.
