Dynamic storage
Dynamic storage in the form of pallet live storage or push back racking combines many advantages in an efficient and economic system:
- High levels of storage density; up to 60% more pallet positions in a given area compared to conventional storage systems because no gangways are required.
- Unloaded pallets and pallets to be stored are kept apart so that the flow of goods do not cross each other.
- Forklift trucks (FLT) do not have to travel so far since a pallet live storage rack stores and transports at the same time.
- Trouble-free order-picking, especially within covered order-picking "tunnels" because loading is completely separated from order-picking.
- Live storage automatically means FiFo (first in - First out), making stock control easier.
- Time-saving by pre-order-picking in a Goods Out intermediate storage area.
- Even higher storage volume with push-back racking because only one gangway is required for loading and unloading.
Variable Design
Live storage systems only need one gangway for loading and unloading. That makes it extremely compact, space-saving and fast. Storage is more clearly arranged and tidier making stock supervision and stocktaking easier. The movement of personnel is reduced and less stacking equipment is required. Order-picking and storage in a minimum of space - thanks to easy modular construction.

FiFo and Lifo (First in - First out und Last in - First out)
Pallet live storage using lanes of rollers guarantees FiFo: the first pallet is loaded at the loading side and rolls to the end of the track, waiting to be the first pallet to be unloaded. Saar Lagertechnik offers standard lanes of rollers for up to 25 pallets and can build even longer lanes as a special construction.
Push-back racking works on the LiFo principle: the first pallet is placed on the loading side and pushed back by against the incline of the lane by the next pallet. The last pallet stored is taken out first. Saar Lagertechnik offers standard lanes of rollers for up to 8 pallets and can build even longer lanes as a special construction.
Construction of a dynamic storage rack
The supporting element of a dynamic storage rack consists principally of racking uprights which are formed into frames by horizontal and diagonal bracing. These frames are secured together in the horizontal by run spacers. For cross member supports, box profiles with welded connectors that fit into slots in the frame uprights are used.
On both the loading and the unloading side, the box beams are replaced by a stable hot rolled steel beam which serves simultaneously as support member and as protection for the lanes of rollers. This construction has proved very effective against damage by forklift trucks.
Within the racking, lanes of inclined gravity rollers are fitted. The incline is about 4%. The pallets are gravity-driven from the loading to the unloading side.
