AS LOGISTICS operations and warehouses grow older, not only does the technology contained within wear out, incurring more regular downtime, it also naturally becomes outdated – unable to keep pace with modern requirements driven by omnichannel logistics, e-commerce, the demand for small order sizes and handling faster order picking speeds.

It makes sense to plan modernisation in good time, before a system or equipment reaches service life expiry. For those concerned about the cost and convenience of a major replacement or modernisation programme, consider retrofitting.
BITO pallet racking has been designed to allow fast adaptation to different needs, providing customers with a maximum amount of flexibility. There is a vast range of accessories and ancillary products, which allows many easy-to-implement reconfiguration variants. For example, by fitting flow levels at floor height, pallet racking can be adapted for picking individual packaging units or single items whereas the pallet storage levels on top are used as a buffer store.
Retrofitting options for pallet racking include drop in sections of roller tracks for unit or piece picking, push-back roller track levels also for unit or piece picking, full-width roller lanes for pallets, container pick walls, shelving, drop-on wire shelves, chipboard panel decking, inclined shelving and steel panel decking.
These options provide numerous advantages such as a substantially higher number of reference lines, shorter travel routes, reduced pick times, maximum configuration flexibility and excellent ergonomic conditions for strain-free working.
