ActivRac - How It Works
990 Square Feet Recovered to be Used as Flex Space
Old Features
13 Pallet Rack Bays
2458 Sq. Ft. Overall Footprint
Approximately 130 Pallets

Installation Process
First the existing rack is removed and will be reinstalled once carriages have been made.
Once pallet racks have been removed, we then have to cut troughs in the concrete where the guide rails will be installed.
Next we install one of two rails, 7,000 lb or 16,000 lb, depending on the support needed. Then epoxy rails in concrete troughs.
7,000 lb 16,000 lb
While the epoxy cures, Installation of the overhead electrical supply framework begins.
Once rails are set we move the ActivRak carriages in place for assembly.
After carriages are secure we reinstall the static pallet racking that was previously in its place. Once anchored it is now free to roll back and forth over the rail.
With carriages and pallet racks installed we then run electrical from the stanchion, through framework and to the motor.
Lastly we hook up power and place cover back over the stanchion. Once the system as been fully tested, we are free to load pallets on the 277,000 lb capacity mobile system.
Finished Installation
By the Numbers
– 277,000 Pounds Of Storage Weight Capacity –
– 190 Pallet Locations – 46% Increase –
– 60% Footprint Of Traditional Layout –
