Ridg – U-Tier – II

Ridg-U-Tier II rack systems are designed to be compatible with virtually any existing “tear drop "style upright frames. They let you step up to Ridg-U-Rak reliability when expanding your current system. Ridg-U-Tier II also gives you a unique center reinforcing rib, heavier bracing for added strength and rigidity, and larger columns for better impact resistance. heavier bracing better impact resistance.

Patented Springlock Mechanism

Ridg-U-Rak's a new Springlock locking mechanism is an integral element of the rack's beam, replacing the "pinch-pin" locking system. The Springlock assembly provides positive beam -to-column engagement, improving installation speed and safety on all Selective and Structural Pallet Rack Systems.

Rack Impact Damage Control

Ridg-U-Rak’s Column Sentry II reinforcing is a double-thick, double strength diaphragmed box section that provides exceptional resistance to impact damage of upright rack storage columns.

Column Sentry II reinforcing helps guard against rack failure, collapse, and local buckling; at the same time, it increases column load carrying strength.

And that’s not all.  Column Sentry II reinforcing is compact, thereby saving critical aisle space. Requires no more space than our standard column, and it need be applied only in critical areas subject to impact damage.

No other reinforcing method offers the protection, strength, and economy of Column Sentry II.

High Density Storage

Horizontal Pallet Transfer System

Ridg-U-Rak’s Horizontal Pallet Transfer System provides you with a reliable, uninterrupted flow of product without the disadvantages of gravity flow systems. Pallets proceed at a controlled safe forward speed. No incline means no wasted vertical space at the input end and no need for jam-susceptible braking systems. Also eliminated is the fear of runaway pallet loads which can fly off the end of a conventional flow system. What’s more, Ridg-U-Rak’s patent-pending design permits virtually unlimited lane depth...so you get a system that conforms to your specific material movement needs.

HPTS is deceptively simple in operation. Pallets of materials are loaded onto the input section of the system. Following a programmed control, the pallet is transferred through a sequence of stages to the output end. The pallets ride on rollers and are moved by a motorized carriage through the system where they are banked at the unload aisle. Once loaded and resupplied, HPTS provides unending, immediate access of product to shipping.

Pick Module Systems

Ridg-U-Rak’s modular order picking systems can be deployed in solutions tailored to product delivery requirements. Pallet, case carton and pick-to-light components can be utilized in Push-bak, gravity flow, 100% selective and other storage methods along with flooring and decking selections. This provides the ultimate in productivity and space utilization.

Ridg-U-Rak pick module systems are custom designed and tailored to meet your specific needs. From design through system integration through complete installation, Ridg-U-Rak can provide turnkey responsibility for your project.

Push-bak Storage

Ridg-U-Rak Push-bak uses a dynamic cart-on-rail system in which pallet loads are literally pushed back into the rack. When a pallet load is retrieved at the aisle, the deeper pallet load automatically advances to the aisle. Push-bak storage provides a very desirable combination of high density and accessibility. Push-bak storage density equals that of drive-in storage, yet every lane can be accessed at all times. Any lane can be 100% filled from the aisle without affecting any other adjacent lanes above or below.

If you need to store a larger number of pallets of one SKU for several months and then remove and ship them all as a seasonal product, a drive-in system is an efficient system. In most other cases, Push-bak, or a combination of drive-in and Push-bak, will be more effective. An analysis of your inventory list and inventory turnover data should be the first step in making the best rack selection.

System 2000 Drive-in Rack

Ridg-U-Rak System 2000 drive-in racks are superior in engineering. They provide high-density storage with great strength and rigidity. Specially designed Ridg-U-Rail 2000TMis, pound for pound, the strongest drive-in rail on the market by actual laboratory tests. Perfect for storing common-sized loads.

Structural Drive-in Racks

Same principle of high-density storage as regular drive-ins, but with upright columns produced from structural steel shapes. Unlike competitive structural racks, Ridg-U-Rak structural drive-ins can be equipped with any of the Ridg-U-Rak drive-in rail designs even Ridg-U-Rail 2000.

Gravity Flow Rack

Flow rack systems are a first-in first-out inventory management method. They’re ideal for supplying pallet or carton loads of SKUs to sorting and distribution operations.

Ridg-U-Rak flow rack systems can be customized to meet your individual needs using rack components that are specifically designed for a highly productive, reliable and economical storage solution.

Because each application has its own unique characteristics, Ridg-U-Rak conducts pallet flow tests using the client’s actual pallet loads to assure system reliability before production begins. You can trust Ridg-U-Rak to supply an efficient, well designed storage solution.

Mobile Rack

Mobile rack is a very high density storage system with 100% utilization of pallet positions. The system is comprised of 100% selective back-to-back pallet racks mounted on mobile bases that travel on tracks laid into the floor. The storage carriages are driven by integral electric motors and can be moved individually or as a section, permitting access to any pallet at any time.

Mobile racks are particularly effective in cold or ultra-cold warehouses and other industrial applications where aisle space is at a premium and speed of product movement is not a major concern.

Very Narrow Aisle Rack

Advances in fork lift trucks that can operate in aisles less than five feet wide have made possible the utilization of very narrow aisle (VNA) storage racks. They provide a significant reduction in floor space devoted to aisles and often are used in heights of 40 to 50 feet.

Pallets in VNA systems are 100% selective and can be accessed with turret or side loader lift trucks, or designed with top and bottom monorails.

Double Deep Rack

Ridg-U-Rak double deep storage is a simple adaptation of placing one row of 100% selective rack behind another. Using a deep reach lift truck, the operator places the back pallet into the system first, then places another pallet in front of it. While selectivity has been reduced by one-half over standard pallet rack, twice as many pallets are stored for a given number of aisles. This increases productive use of floor space about 60% to 65%.

Double deep storage rack has become a very popular choice in “high throughput” operations. It offers low initial cost, high productivity, good selectivity and less equipment damage.
