Warehouse Floor Corrections
The EN 15620 Standard provides a guideline for the use of static steel storage systems, adjustable pallet racks, tolerances, deformations, and clearances. This standard also includes ground characteristics and tolerances required for rack usage.
Racking systems are classified based on aisle widths and the type of lifting equipment used.
Through a preliminary study conducted using a laser measuring device, elevation differences on aisle floors are examined. Differences in elevation are identified along the forklift movement directions.
Floor corrections in the aisles are performed using milling machines.
After the leveling process, general dust and particle cleaning is done with a vacuum machine, followed by the application of a solvent-based resin coating to prevent dusting.
Before the polishing process, forklift tests are conducted within the aisles.
Corrections made in the system are supported by the latest measurements, and ground limits and tolerances according to the EN 15620 standard are determined.
Concrete Elevation Lowering
Hello dear customers,
In this article, I will provide some information about concrete elevation lowering, concrete slab cutting, and surface milling. As you know, excessively poured concrete often hinders project applications, especially in large-scale projects, but it’s also an inevitable issue in medium and small-scale projects. So, how do we adjust overly high concrete slabs to the desired elevation?
Before answering that, let’s briefly explain how these problems occur…
It may result from a flooring worker’s inaccuracy or an overlooked measurement error by the surveyor. Additionally, poorly compacted screed concrete may swell as it dries.
Outdated methods are still being used to adjust over-poured concrete slabs. These methods include breaking with a jackhammer (Hilti) or cutting with a milling machine.
Jackhammer methods often fail to reach the desired elevation precisely. For instance, if a 2 cm reduction is needed, jackhammering usually removes 3 to 4 cm instead, which results in further screeding work.
On the other hand, milling machine cutting generally allows only up to 3 cm of depth, which is insufficient and results in a suboptimal floor.
The main issue here is the high cost. Why? Because jackhammering involves:
Labor costs for the jackhammer operator
New concrete materials
Additional screed labor
So, you face three separate costs.
But we reduce all this to a single cost—no damage to the floor, and the elevation is adjusted millimetrically as needed.
One cost or three costs? The choice is clear…
Warehouse Racking Systems: Warehouse Organization Strategies
As Rota Anka, we are pleased to share our expertise and experience in warehouse organization strategies.
Warehouse management is vital for enhancing efficiency, effectively utilizing storage space, and optimizing operational processes. In this article, we will focus on the use of warehouse racking systems and warehouse organization strategies.
Types of Warehouse Racking Systems:
Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) Racking Systems
Maximize space usage and allow for high-volume storage by creating narrow aisles within the warehouse.Selective Pallet Racking (Back-to-Back Systems)
Positioned in a horizontal layout, these racks allow for increased material storage and easy accessibility.Drive-In Racking Systems
Allow vehicles to drive into the rack structure to deposit or retrieve loads, suitable for high-density storage.Pallet Flow Racking Systems
Designed for quick and easy access, pallets slide within the rack, making it ideal for selective storage needs.Industrial Racking Systems
Built for heavy-duty storage, these systems are ideal for warehouses needing durable and strong rack solutions.
Key Factors in Choosing Warehouse Racks:
Physical Structure of the Warehouse:
Height and Width: Determines which type of racking systems can be used. Narrow and tall warehouses are ideal for VNA systems.
Floor Conditions: The durability and flatness of the floor impact the stability of the racking systems.
Type and Size of Materials to Be Stored:
Material Type: Choose rack systems based on the characteristics of the items. For pallets, pallet racking; for long items, selective systems.
Material Weight: Ensure the racks can support the weight of stored items.
Storage Density and Access Requirements:
Storage Density: High-density systems like drive-in or pallet flow racking help optimize space usage.
Accessibility: Frequent access items should be stored in systems with easy retrieval options, like selective racking.
Choosing the right racking system is crucial for warehouse efficiency. It helps increase storage capacity, streamline operations, and reduce costs.
