Storage system for manual picking of products following the “man-to-product” principle. The longspan shelving is designed for warehouses where goods are deposited and removed manually from shelves. This system also makes optimal use of warehouse height, as the higher levels can be accessed mechanically by devices that lift the operator to required height (stacker cranes or order picking forklift trucks) or via gangways located between shelves.
It is also common practice to set up a mixed warehouse of picking and palletizing, where the top of the shelves is used to keep palletized stock reserve and the bottom is intended for picking.
