How It Works: Atlantic Rack Mobile Pallet Racking Systems

Atlantic Rack Mobile Racking System maximizing warehouse storage space

What Are Mobile Racks?

Mobile Racks—also known as mobile pallet racking systems—are advanced storage solutions that optimize warehouse space by allowing you to open and close aisles on demand.

Instead of keeping multiple fixed aisles between static racks, our system mounts pallet racks on motorized carriages that move along heavy-duty floor rails. With the push of a button, racks can be compacted together or separated to create a single access aisle where it’s needed.

This smart movement system dramatically increases your storage density and helps you save up to 80% more space compared to traditional racking layouts.

 

How It Works

 

  • Motorized Rail System
    Each racking unit is mounted on a powered base that moves along precision-engineered rails installed in the warehouse floor. The bases glide smoothly and safely, guided by integrated motors and sensors.

  • Remote Control or Panel Operation
    Operators can easily move the racks using a handheld remote or a fixed control panel. The system can be programmed to automatically stop at designated points for fast, efficient picking.

  • Smart Safety Features
    Safety is built into every Atlantic Rack Mobile System. Photoelectric sensors and emergency stop systems detect obstacles—such as workers or forklifts—in the aisle. If anything is detected, movement stops instantly to prevent accidents or damage.

  • Customizable Design for Any Application
    Our mobile racking systems are compatible with pallet racking, shelving, and archive storage. Whether you manage a warehouse, cold storage facility, or distribution center, we can tailor a mobile solution to fit your space and operational needs.

 

The Benefits

 

    • Up to 80% More Storage Capacity
      Maximize your warehouse space by removing unnecessary aisles and storing more inventory in the same footprint.

    • Improved Efficiency & Accessibility
      Open the aisle exactly where you need it—no more wasted time navigating long warehouse rows.

    • Enhanced Safety
      Built-in safety sensors and controlled movement ensure a secure environment for employees and equipment.

    • Lower Overhead Costs
      Increase capacity without expanding your facility or investing in offsite storage.

    • Better Space Utilization
      Ideal for warehouses with limited space, cold storage, and high-value inventory that requires organized, efficient storage.

 

Installation and Safety Process

 

At Atlantic Rack, we understand that proper installation is key to performance and safety. That’s why every mobile racking project is handled by certified installation specialists who follow strict safety and engineering standards.

  1. Site Evaluation & Floor Prep
    Our team evaluates your space, concrete strength, and load capacity to design the right rail layout.

  2. Precision Rail Installation
    The rails are embedded into the floor and leveled with millimeter accuracy to ensure flawless movement and long-term reliability.

  3. System Assembly & Testing
    Racks are mounted on the mobile carriages, wired to the control system, and tested under load conditions to guarantee safety and performance.
