Pallet racking for reliable warehouse orders
"Working with pallets is a smart way to handle warehouse orders quickly and simply, at least if you have the right storage sys- tem.temen used," says Fanny Van Cauwenbergh, marketing manager at SSI SCHÄFER. "Good pallet racking should not only stable, robust and safe, but also easily expandable. We guide our customers in choosing the best pallet racking." The storage specialist offers warehouse racking in longitudinal and deep beam versions, with single and double-deep storage and with narrow or wide aisles. With racking that has a frame load capacity of up to 30 tons and a girder load capacity of up to 4.5 tons, even the storage of heavy materials is no problem.

Automatic shuttle systems for small load carriers
Also for storage of small materials efficient, reliable warehouse processes are crucial for customer service and employee safety. "SSI SCHAEFER designs, manufactures and installs customized solutions for the storage of small load carriers," explains Van Cauwenbergh. "We can help customers with stackable boxes and bin concepts, as well as complex storage machines and shuttle systems." These shuttle systems enable the fully automatic loading and unloading of bins, boxes and trays. Thus, they guarantee fast and flexible transport of materials and products with short access times. Each solution is custom designed based on standard components. Production under our own direction guarantees customers consistent quality and maximum reliability of the end products. SSI SCHAEFER coordinates the entire project through a single point of contact. "Our shuttle system Cuby was awarded another Industry Award in 2016 in the 'Best of 2016' category," says a proud Van Cauwenbergh.

The Cuby shuttle system reliably moves totes and boxes weighing up to 35 kg.

Storey floor structures for optimal space utilization
For companies that lack space in their warehouse, mezzanine floor structures can provide a solution. They make it possible to create an additional storey above the existing warehouse floor, significantly expanding the useful area. "The configuration options of our floorfloor structures are virtually unlimited," says Van Cauwenbergh. "Moreover, our systems as needed in all directions be expanded and are adaptable to the customer's required loads and requirements." In racking systems with intermediate floors, platform corridors can be built in between the racks. It is also possible to mount complete floors on the racking systems. Combined with the versatile range of pallet racks, workstation systems, crates and bins, the floor structures offer an effective solution for storing and handling large and small goods in warehouses where space is limited.
