Broadly we have two types of storage systems and they are manual storage and the second one is automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS). Again within manual storage, we have six different types of storage and they are:
1. Block stacking– Units loads stacked on top of each other and stored on the floor on the storage lanes.
2. Stacking frames– are either frames attached to standard wooden pallets or self-contained units made up of decks and posts.Stacking frames are portable and enable users to stack material several loads high.
3. Single-deep selective pallet rack – is a simple construction of metal uprights and cross-members providing immediate (pick-face) access to each load stored (that is, no honey combing).
4. Double-deep rack – are mostly selective racks that are two pallets position deep.
5. Drive-in rack –extend the reduction of aisle space begun with double-deep rack by providing storage lanes from five to ten load deep and three to five loads high.
6. Drive-thru rack– is merely drive-in rack that is accessible from both sides of the rack.
