XL Pallet Racking
Das bew채hrte Palettenregal-System-Boltless XL
Link 51 is one of the leading suppliers of storage equipment in the world today with over 50 years experience in the manufacture of quality racking and shelving. The XL Pallet Racking system has evolved through LINK 51's knowledge and experience of storage and handling techniques gained in five decades in the industry. XL Pallet Racking is a versatile adjustable beam pallet racking system for combined storage and order picking areas, suitable for all applications in normal or temperature controlled environments. XL provides up to 100% accessibility to goods without loading crushing, to heights limited only by the building or handling equipment. It is the single solution to all heavy duty storage applications and can be used for high rise narrow aisle systems, drive-in and drive-through, double depth pallet racking, raised platforms, heavy duty shelving, pallet live storage, push-back racking and even for rackclad structures.

Beams and connectors:
Safety Locking Pins
one of the key features of XL is the special shape of the beam connector which ensures that beam and frame firmly interlock providing strength and stability, while still allowing repositioning when changes in the use of the racking occur.
Each beam is supplied complete with steel Safety Locking Pins which guarantee that the beam is correctly positioned and help prevent the beam being accidentally dislodged during use.
Self-locking bolts
Concealed frame joining units
The frames are bolted together with selflocking bolts in the required depth. This makes it easy to replace components in the event of damage. It also makes it a simple task to alter frames on site to suit local building conditions.
As the height of the rack increases, so do the demands made on the frame struts. Using frame joining units, struts of differing strength can be joined together to guarantee the necessary stability up to 20 metres. The increments for placing beams (75mm) is not affected.
Footplates
ones are used, for example, for skyracking, narrow aisle, drive-in and other special heavy duty installations, depending on the floor conditions, loadings, height and volume.
Boltless XL has four different footplates allowing all demands on the floor loading, stability and to be met. The simple standard footplates are used for smaller and lighter installations, while heavier duty

Boltless XL High-rise narrow aisle installations
Make optimal use of the space available because narrow aisle racking takes full advantage of the height of the building and holds the aisles held to a minimum. Compared to standard pallet racking, a narrow aisle installation can yield up to 50% more storage space. 8
Narrow aisle structures are appropriate wherever fast orderpicking and accessibility are prime factors. The most suitable kind of handling equipment is determined by the individual requirements. In many cases they will need to be computer guided to guarantee fast, faultless operation. In spite of the
higher initial investment costs, narrow aisle installations are highly profitable, especially for warehouses operating on a roundthe-clock basis. The Boltless XL system is a guarantee for safety and stability whatever the height.

In this case the handling equipment is driven along guide rails fixed to the floor and runners at the top of the structure. To place or retrieve pallets or to order-pick, the operator glides up and down the crane mast (see photo on left). Stacker cranes can aso be computer-controlled. Maximum height is around 30 metres.
A narrow aisle FLT has a set of rollers on the side and moves between rails fixed to the floor in front of the racking. (see photos at bottom). These FLT are independent and can operate inside as well as outside the structure. Operators can move up and down with the FLT for order picking. Maximum height 10-12 metres.

Suggestions for laying out guide railsPreferably R.S.A rails measuring 50 x 100 x 10 mm or R.S.C 100 are used. These layouts are illustrated in illustrations 1, 2 and 3. Illustrations #1 and #2 show guide rails filled in with cement. In this scheme, pallets can be set down on the base and the space behind the rails is easy to keep clean.
For the type shown in illustration #3, an additional pair of beams is necessary and the space behind the guide rails is more difficult to keep clean. The method shown in illustration #4 uses R.S.A runners measuring 50/50/8. This arrangement makes it possible to set a pallet down behind the guide rails, however due to their low height, the rails are not as robust as in the other examples.

Boltless XL – The versatile system Drive-in racking An effective structure that offers compact storage for bulk articles. By eliminating most of the aisles, drive-in gives better space utilisation in height and depth. Storage capacty in any given area can be increased by up to 70%.
An essential feature of this system is that pallets are stored sideways on runners that are built into the depth of the rack. Forklift truck operators drive into the rack to place or retrieve pallets.
Drive-in racking installations are particularly advantageous when the order in which goods are rotated is not important.

Mobile pallet racking Boltless XL pallet racking is mounted on power-driven bases thereby reducing aisles and saving floor space while still alllowing direct access to each pallet. Aisles are opened by simply pressing a button.
Although initial costs are very high, in many cases a mobile XL Pallet racking installation can prove to be cost-effective - particularly in controlled temperature warehouses.
Pallet Live Storage Pallets are loaded onto lanes with inclined gravity rollers running from the point of entry at the back to the picking face at the front. A live storage installation works on the „first-in – first-out“ principle, so that goods are retrieved in the same order in which they are stored.
Pallet live storage is especially suitable for companies operating a limited number of products. Pallet Live Storage ideal when the sequence of goods-in and goodsout is vital. Similar systems can also be used for small units loads.
