Unit-Load AS/RS
High-Density Pallet Storage for High-Speed Operations
A unit-load AS/RS (automated storage and retrieval system) is a high-density pallet storage system that is fast, reliable, and offers unmatched efficiency in pallet fulfillment efforts. A unit-load AS/RS is available in different configurations and can be customized to fit specific environments and operating conditions, including fresh or frozen environments, cleanrooms, and oily or dusty operations.
With unit-load AS/RS systems, racks are designed with narrow aisles, with stacker cranes and/or shuttles moving between to deliver and retrieve loads to and from specific destinations.
The ability to transport goods rapidly into and out of optimized pallet racking with almost floor-to-ceiling storage is the primary advantage of a unit-load AS/RS system.
Unit-load AS/RS systems can be configured as single or double pallet deep systems with cranes or with deeper systems for cart-based solutions.
From small-scale operations storing hundreds of pallets to fully-automated, multi-story systems storing thousands of pallets, unit load AS/RS systems offer tremendous flexibility.

Benefits of Unit-Load AS/RS
- Speed & Efficiency: The high-speed solutions effectively and swiftly store and retrieves items. The system significantly decreases cycle time and forklift traffic along the floor. These solutions use relatively small amounts of electricity and can produce more electricity than previous AS/RS models, lowering energy expenditures.
- Productivity: Unit-load AS/RS systems increase throughput by automating the storage and retrieval of products in a safe and ergonomic environment for workers.
- Intelligence: The AS/RS control system provides a complete solution, ranging from front-end controls to sophisticated computer systems for inventory management. The software controls auxiliary equipment such as displays for order picking and continuously monitors the system to help troubleshoot issues.
- Variety of Handling: Unit-load AS/RS systems can handle a wide range of loads, including standard industrial pallets, closed pallets, EPAL pallets, box pallets, roll-shaped loads, long objects, and car bodies.
