Normally, a warehouse has aisles for storage and retrieval operations between racks, creating dead space when there are no such operations. By moving racks and setting up space for materials handling only when such operations are in progress, the dead space can be effectively used for storage. Aisles turn into storage space.
Mobile racks that can double or triple the storage capacity can be installed in both existing warehouses and newly built warehouses.
