DOUBLE DEEP STACKING

INTRODUCTION TO DOUBLE DEEP STACKING INCREASING STORAGE SPACE, DECREASE FUTURE COSTS In traditional single-deep racking systems, pallets occupy their own space. This, accompanied with the use of an aisle for forklift access means that your capacity is not being maximised. Double deep stacking can significantly increase the efficiency of your available space. The method allows for two pallets to be stored back-to-back in a single bay. This effectively doubles your storage capacities compared to a traditional single bay system. By reducing the number of aisles required, your floor space is optimised, enabling a more streamlined warehouse layout. They become even more accessible with specialised forklifts equipped with telescopic forks. This type of stacking is the ideal solution for warehouses looking to increase storage capabilities as well as future-proof operations without the need for costly expansions. When paired with Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks’ advanced stackers and reach trucks, double deep stacking offers a robust and flexible approach. Adopting a double deep layout can lead to significant space savings of up to 30%. Here’s how it stacks up:

• • •

Space savings: Reducing the number of aisles by half means you gain additional floor space that can be repurposed for storage. Increased Density: More pallets stored per square metre means you can optimise your warehouse’s cubic volumes. Greater efficiency: With fewer aisles, the overall footprint of your warehouse storage area is maximised. This allows for quicker access to goods, shaving valuable time off your operation.

CUT COSTS IN YOUR WAREHOUSE Not only is double deep stacking a space-saving solution, but also a cost-effective strategy for warehouse management. Reducing the number of aisles required means that your operational and real estate costs associated with warehousing are significantly lower. Storing more pallets within the same footprint, translates directly into savings on property expenses as well as optimising the existing space.

Higher storage density means more products can be stored per square metre. This maximisation of storage capacity without expanding the physical space of the warehouse leads to significant savings on cost per pallet position. And with fewer aisles and more streamlined operations, forklift travel time becomes reduced. This leads to lower labour costs and increased productivity. It also means less wear and tear on equipment, lowering maintenance and service costs.

STREAMLINING YOUR OPERATIONS, KEEPING YOU IN CONTROL Double deep stacking not only maximises storage capacity, but also significantly enhances your ability to organise and manage warehouse inventory. By streamlining the arrangement of pallets, your warehouse becomes more easily accessible and gives you better control of your stock. This leads to reduced handling times and a more efficient operation. With double deep stacking, pallets are stored in a structured manner, reducing clutter and minimising the risk of misplaced items. This organised approach allows for quicker identification and retrieval of goods. This helps to maintain a smooth warehouse operation as well as helping to meet delivery schedules. And if you want to bring your operational efficiency to the next level beyond just implementing double deep stacking, you should pair it with an advanced warehouse management system. These systems provide real-time visibility and control over your inventory. This ensures each pallet is accurately tracked and easily located.

KEY BENEFITS OF WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (WMS)

• • • •

Automated Inventory Tracking – With WMS, every pallet is logged and tracked, reducing errors and inaccuracies. Optimised space – The system can suggest optimal locations for storing pallets, maximising your space and maintaining optimal organisation. Efficient Order Picking – WMS can streamline the picking process by directing operators to the exact location of the required pallet. This shaves crucial time off your operation. Enhanced Reporting – Gain insights into stock levels, turnover rates, and space utilisation through detailed reporting.

HOW MITSUBISHI TRUCKS WORK WITH DOUBLE DEEP STACKING Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks offers a comprehensive range of material handling equipment designed to meet the diverse needs of modern warehouses. Our stackers and reach trucks are engineered to deliver superior performance, reliability, and efficiency, making them the ideal choice for double deep stacking applications. Whether you require high lift capacities, advanced ergonomic features, or compact designs for narrow aisles, Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks has the perfect solution.. Our intuitive, easy-to-use and highly versatile family of reach trucks and AXiA stackers gives you the exceptional productivity you need to meet your goals. The ranges include class-leading models which boast unrivalled visibility, unique mast stabilisation systems, and exceptional productivity, whatever the setting.

SENSiA: Unrivalled visibility

REACH TRUCKS SENSiA reach trucks boast intuitive operation, exceptional visibility, and maximum precision at the highest lifts. And while the truck is highly intelligent, it still has a tough and robust exterior making it ideal for intensive operations. SENSiA ES is a compact light reach truck packed with innovative and state-of the-art features to improve productivity. For higher lifts there is the SENSiA EM, a universal reach truck with a MaxVision mast capable of working to heights up to 12 metres. It maximises visibility, while retaining exceptional stability.

The great lift heights are matched by an equally game-changing Stability Support System. Hydraulic functions such as mast reach and mast tilt are automatically optimised to make pallet placement and retrieval safer and quicker. This combined with the optimal visibility results in reach trucks ready to excel in your warehouse.

SIT-ON STACKERS AXiA sit-on stackers are a flexible and costeffective choice for stacking and internal transport in warehousing, manufacturing, and anywhere else where safe, productive stacking is required. The sit-on stacker is the perfect equivalent to make much better use of your space and is the perfect low-cost alternative for tasks where you may be using over specified reach trucks. Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks have long been known for exceptional ergonomics. The AXiA sit-on stackers are no exception. The comfortable seat and ultra-low step height means operators can stay more productive throughout shifts without the worry of fatigue or repetitive strain injuries.

The AXiA sit-on stackers are also perfect for any job that requires lifting to 7 m or less. Often, over specified reach trucks are used for these jobs, giving you unnecessary expenses. The AXiA sit-on stackers are the perfect low-cost alternative. And with advanced telescopic forks, you have access to more flexible handling of long loads and as well as the ability to work with double deep stacking.

STAND-IN STACKERS AXiA stand-in stackers are the ultimate choice for maximising warehouse efficiency. With their minimal dimensions, tight turning circle, and superior operator protection, they provide an affordable, flexible solution for double deep stacking. The compact design and robust, clear-view mast allow operators to maintain optimal visibility of the telescopic forks and load. This doesn’t mean the driver is any less safe; they are fully protected against collisions within the truck.

What’s more, the 360-degree steering and Intelligent Cornering System combine for smooth turning at a safe speed, shaving time off your operation without compromising on safety. Add all this together, and you have a stand-in stacker ready to excel in any warehouse space.

A universal reach truck that works exactly how your operators would design a reach truck. It’s a big claim. But with the control choices, the adjustability and ergonomics, the performance, the high visibility, the exceptional safety features and more as standard, plus a wide range of optional enhancements, we think you’ll see it’s a claim we don’t make lightly. With lift heights of up to 12 metres, you’ll always have a clear view on the load thanks to our MaxVision masts. It maximises visibility, while remaining exceptionally stable. This is a series that prides itself on going that extra step and always in the most efficient way possible. And while it houses a smart brain, its exterior is tough and highly robust, making it ideal for incredibly intensive operations. Combine that with legendary reliability and low total cost of operation and you’ll see why we think so highly of it.
