Clad rack: great height and maximum storage capacity Clad rack warehouses are buildings whose main structural component is the racking. The racks bear the weight of the goods stored in addition to the side and roof cladding and external agents, such as wind force. Therefore, rack supported buildings require minimal civil works, which streamlines assembly and reduces costs compared to traditional construction systems. Rack supported warehouses make the most of all available space and can reach heights of up to 45 m. They also stand out for their great versatility: they can be designed to incorporate several types of storage solutions, from conventional and drive-in/drive through racking to fully automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS). Mecalux accompanies its clients throughout the project, from the preliminary calculations and design phase to the warehouse’s commissioning. Advantages of clad rack warehouses • Fast, simple construction: project implementation times for rack supported buildings are shorter compared to traditional warehouses. Moreover, they require minimal construction. • Cost savings: the investment is also lower than that required for traditionally built facilities. • High-bay storage: clad rack warehouses can be up to 45 m tall. Their height is only limited by local regulations and the reach of the handling equipment used. • Optimal utilisation of surface area: the warehouse and racking are designed simultaneously. They occupy only the necessary space, without any intermediate columns.
