Stacking in Storage Management

One of the most important issues that storage management deals with is the correct stacking of products so that they can be stored. Stacking can be done in several different ways and with several different vehicles. Matters that need to be considered while stacking is; the structure of the products, the physical condition of the warehouse and shelves, the tools and equipment owned, the way of working, product order cycles, delivery dates, etc.

Since the use of space is very important in storage management, it is beneficial to focus on the stacking plan. Below are some types of stacking used in storage management:

Block Stacking: Loads are stacked on top of each other in blocks on the ground without a rack.

Storage in Tank: It is a type of stacking where fluid and gaseous materials are stored, usually filled from the top and discharged from the bottom.

Rack stacking: These are the systems developed for maximum warehouse space usage in warehouse operations of products that can be stored in small sizes and at different height levels. Today, with the development of technology, the types of shelf systems have increased.
