Optimal space utilisation, safe storage Maximum efficiency in the minimum of space. Pallet storage new Stow Atlas Stow Silo Small parts store Robust, flexible and safe Our product portfolio comprises conventional pallet racks, drive-in racks, open face racks, mobile racks, high bay racks, rack shuttle systems and silo racks. The modular frame construction permits rack heights of up to 40 metres. All products are subjected to continuous complex tests. StowAtlas, the new pallet shuttle system from Kardex Stow, is a system for the efficient handling of pallets in a channel storage system. A carrier vehicle transports the pallets within the channels in order to achieve maximum storage density in the rack. The stacker can perform other tasks during storage or retrieval operations. Kardex Stow offers high bay warehouses in silo construction with heights of 20 to 50 metres and with single, double or multiple depths through to satellite solutions. Large selection for small parts From office applications through to industrial manufacturing, for lightweight and heavy loads: our small parts storage systems are designed for almost every situation and environment. The wide spectrum of our solutions ranges from longspan and shelving systems, multi-tier racking and high rise shelving through to high dynamic miniload multi-store systems. Long items racking Mezzanine constructions Warehouse solution with a high profile We have developed special racking systems for the storage of long items, for example metal and plastic pipes and tubes, profile sections and similar products. Our cantilever rack optimally uses the space available in your store and makes access and handling easy. Warehouse designed individually to your requirements We developed the Mezza-Stow System for the flexible construction of mezzanines. As opposed to conventional steel constructions, they can be expanded and modified to cater for individual demands.
