STAK System®
OVERVIEW
Based on a system of dynamically adjustable pallets (rather than fixed shelves) and a captive lifting and handling device, the STAK System helps maximize storage density by minimizing the vertical space requirements of each stored pallet and its contents.

FEATURES
-
- Fully modular. Rack capacity is 25,000 lbs. per section and 50,000 lbs. per bay (seismic zones 1 and 2)
- Pallets placed in 4" vertical increments. Items can be stored just where you want them, and are positioned via a positive engagement system
- Ergonomic handling. Unique handling device maneuvers on four axes, creating 360-degree flexibility – makes removing even large loads easy
- Simple, intuitive positioning. Enables the operator to relocate a pallet quickly, accurately, and safely (pallets are removed and replaced by guiding the mast to the new position)
Adjustable Racking System
OVERVIEW
A completely flexible heavy-duty storage solution, the Adjustable Racking System (ARS) allows super-efficient storage of items of varying size and weight. Like our STAK System®, the ARS is based on a system of removable, positionable pallets.

FEATURES
-
- Utilizes fork trucks. System for moving pallets with fork trucks (differs from STAK System which uses a mast and bridge assembly)
- Heavy-duty strength. Roll-formed columns provide double-strength rest hooks on 7-3/4" centers, and pallets are reinforced with double-layer steel surfaces, allowing for maximum-density pallet positions
- High weight capacity. Heavy-duty columns provide 25,000 lb. capacity per storage section (seismic zones 1 and 2)
- Pallet fork guides. Ensure proper engagement and provide additional structural support – opposing cross members provide total surface support stability

- Choice of height. Select from 6 standard heights of up to 10 ft. for more space-efficient storage that can maximize vertical space while reducing the amount of floor space used
