The mini-load systems are goods handling systems designed
to handle lightweight loads in various types of cases, containers and boxes.
The MINI load ASRS is a high-speed, high-density buffer that can replace conventional static
rack to maximize vertical storage space within a compact footprint. The mini
load moves and stores irregularly shaped goods or parts placed in:
-
stacking totes
-
collapsible totes
-
nesting containers and
-
case/cardboard boxes.
Items are transported to/from the mini load by conveyor,
shuttle fork, side belt, side clamp, or Automatic Guided Vehicle (AGV). Many of
the latest mini load ASRS are being used for sequencing of product into orders
that make up trailer loads, providing substantial downstream distribution network
savings. Mini loads are also used to feed “Goods to Person” work stations and
can be a great way to automate the medium to slow moving SKUs in a warehouse or
fulfillment center.
Now that you know the difference between a unit load
and mini load ASRS, you can better assess your warehouse or distribution center
to see what would be the best fit! Talk with GLOBAL Team, we offer our
customers a wide range of flexible and tailor-made ASRS, send email to Lucy Ding sales@global-racking.com
