LIFO or FIFO system?
There are two possible uses for accumulation storage: LIFO and FIFO:
- The LIFO (Last-In-First-Out) storage system for pallets is an inventory management method in which the last pallets to enter the system are the first to leave. This means that the pallets that are stored last in the warehouse will be the first to be picked when the stock is dispatched.
-
- The FIFO (First-In-First-Out) storage system for pallets is an inventory management method in which the first pallets to enter the system are the first to leave. This means that the pallets that are stored first in the warehouse will be the first to be picked when the stock is dispatched.
The method chosen will depend on the specific inventory management needs of each company, and the order of priority for order picking. Our experts can advise you on your choice of storage method.
The advantages of accumulation storage
Pallet storage by accumulation is a method of storing goods that offers a number of advantages:
- Space-saving: Pallet storage by accumulation makes optimum use of vertical warehouse space. Pallets are stacked on top of each other, enabling a large number of pallets to be stored in a small space.
- High storage density: By making optimum use of vertical warehouse space, pallet accumulation storage achieves a higher storage density than other storage methods, such as conventional storage.
- Cost reduction: due to the high storage density, pallet accumulation storage enables more products to be stored in less space, thus reducing the company's storage costs.
- Ease of handling: Forklift trucks can easily move stored pallets using the pallet accumulation storage system.
- Safety: Pallets are held in place by the accumulation pallet storage system's retaining rails and stops, reducing the risk of falling goods.
- Accessibility: Pallets stored by accumulation can be easily accessed thanks to a well-organized inventory management system.
- Flexibility: Pallet accumulation storage can be adapted to different product types, volumes and weights.
