Automated mobile racking system for pallet storage & retrieval

The turnkey MCOMPACT modular pallet storage system is characterised by a small footprint that requires roughly 40 % less floor area than a conventional fork-lift-truck operation. It is suitable for small and medium storage volumes and can be integrated into existing buildings – even operating under challenging benvironmental conditions such as those required in the storage of hazardous substances or frozen foodstuffs.

The MCOMPACT is a standardised compact storage system which may be expanded in a modular fashion. The basic version has a fully-automated storage and retrieval machine, a mobile racking system and a complete control system with integral stock management. The standard module (specification included below) has a length of 37 metres, a width of 13 metres and a height of 9 metres and can accommodate about 1,260 Euro pallets. The number of rack locations, the racking dimensions and the floor area can be individually configured, whilst the storage locations and load handling devices can be adapted to suit the load carriers.

The storage and retrieval machine moves up to 50 pallets per hour and can access each storage location directly without any transfers. The loads are delivered for collection by manual lift trucks or via additional conveying equipment.

The MCOMPACT’s warehouse management system can be simply integrated with the client’s ERP environment and is configurable for connection to any standard host system.
