Open shelf file storage can be designed with a catwalk storage system using shelving components. Industrial shelving can be configured to fit almost any warehouse size.

Order picking modules such as the one above can be fabricated with heavy duty shelving such as Rapid Rack and RiveTier. This multi level storage system has one catwalk level, is accessed by an industrial stairway, and doubles the storage space. All the shelf levels can be reached by hand and in conjunction with a standard order picking cart.

Heavy duty employee access stairways used in catwalk shelving storage systems are manufactured by several vendors including Rapid Rack, Western Pacific, FCP, AMFI, and Ladder Industries. The design varies depending on the warehouse usage and the storage system requirements.

Catwalk deck surfaces include steel grating, bar grating, high density wood, sturdi floor on B-Deck, diamond plate or metal decking, moisture resistant, concrete, and heat treated decks. Some of these catwalk decking features make catwalk flooring capable of withstanding heavy duty pallet jack and order pick cart loads.

We have been a ground-breaking force in designing storage systems using warehouse material lifts and vertical reciprocating conveyors for storage mezzanines, catwalk shelving, and catwalk rack storage systems. VRCs replace the need for heavy duty equipments such as warehouse forklift trucks and forklifts by creating a safer and more productive work environment.
