FIFO/LIFO Storage Rack Concept

---

Vertex Engineering Works provides solutions for competent “Dynamic Storage” since 2005. The product range spreads from complete flow through and pushback-racks over pre mounted components up to individual parts for self-assembly. The dynamic storage fully plays on its strength.

The main advantages of dynamic storage:

• Optimum utilisation of available space
• Shorter ways of deposit and removal
• Strictly keeping the requested storage concept (FiFo/LiFo)
• Better organisation of good with high turnover

FIFO (First In – First Out) Flow-Through-Rack:
The charge is deposited moveable on gravity conveyor rollers and transported without any additional energy – by gravity only – to the position for removal.

Features:

• Easy supervision of expire date
• No IT-control necessary, concept runs automatically
• Short operation ways for commission of orders
• Space saving compared to other storage concepts
• Optimum utilisation of rack space
• Spatial separation between deposit and removal optimises workflow and use of space
• Permanently high filling level at removal: the charge will move up automatically after picking
• The application of a separator at removal reduces the accumulation pressure and in this way allows the safe and convenient removal of the foremost load carrier

LIFO (Last In – First Out) – Push-Back-Rack:
Works on the LIFO-concept, so the charge deposited at last will be removed first. Up to six pallets of 1000 kg weight can be inserted into the aisle by a forklift. A separation and deceleration is usually not necessary – which leads to appreciable cost advantage compared to flow-through-racks.

Advantages:

• Optimum utilisation of space
• Deposit and removal at the same site allows positioning the rack close to the building wall
