Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hybrid rack and shelving system?
A hybrid system combines pallet racking and shelving components to support different storage and picking requirements within the same engineered configuration. It can accommodate reserve pallet storage, case picking, and smaller inventory items.
When should a warehouse consider hybrid storage?
Hybrid storage is beneficial when a warehouse handles both palletized inventory and smaller products requiring manual picking. It can reduce wasted space and help consolidate different storage functions.
Can hybrid racking improve order fulfillment?
Yes. By integrating pallet storage and accessible picking locations, hybrid systems can help streamline replenishment, reduce unnecessary travel, and support more efficient order fulfillment workflows.
Can hybrid systems be customized?
Yes. Speedrack can engineer hybrid configurations around warehouse dimensions, inventory characteristics, load requirements, picking methods, and operational workflows.
