The solution included Hannibal Industries’TubeRack, structural rack and Automha’s Semi-Automated Pallet Runner product. The final storage solution was a deep lane Pallet Runner system that was 14 pallets deep by four store levels high.
With each pallet being double stacked, the solution is able to store 28 pallets in 1-14 deep lane. With loads weighing 3,200 pounds, each lane stores 44,800 pounds. The solution allowed KTN to reach its goal of shipping 28 pallets per truckload.
