Finding The Perfect Warehouse Storage System

By Garland Regulus


An important factor to consider when you want your Malaysia warehouse to operate properly is picking the right storage method for your valuable inventory. All warehouse managers understand that one way of keeping costs at a minimum is by using storage space efficiently. It's not a really hard thing to accomplish when you have a solid understanding of managing your warehouse.

Most Malaysia warehouse systems make use of a specific type of racking system for organizing and storing their product and material stocks. Common racking systems include pallet flow, push-back, double-deep, cantilever, and drive-in racks. The type of racking system you will use will primarily depend on the type of items you will be storing in your warehouse.

Different companies will usually employ a variety of SKU's (stock keeping units) and each will have varying features. It is possible that some SKU's can have special storage requirements to ensure that it is safe and secured. Malaysia warehouse facilities often employ pallet racking system since it can work wonders in maximizing storage by using both horizontal and vertical space.

The movement of your product from receiving to shipping can also be a determining factor for the type of racking system that you will use in your Malaysia warehouse. You will also have to figure out which type of inventory system you are using such as FIFO (first in, first out) or LIFO (last in, first out). Having perishable items in the storage facility will require some cooling equipment to keep them fresh.

You should also consider reevaluating the structure of your Malaysia warehouse facility if it is situated in an area where earthquakes are frequent. You must ensure that the building has built-in features that will help it withstand the forces of nature, and this also includes flooding and snowing. You can check with your engineering department to validate just how prepared your warehouse is for these things.

Forklifts are a staple in any Malaysia warehouse as they work hard in storing and retrieving your item stocks. Forklifts can have different features and setups so make sure that the one you choose will be able to pick up your stocks carefully and efficiently. Choosing the wrong handling equipment can easily cause disasters which may prove very costly.

To make sure you are properly guided in choosing the right equipment for your Malaysia warehouse, you may want to shop online for a reputable warehouse equipment supplier. It is not difficult to check out 3 to 5 suppliers and send them an email to request for a quotation. A good supplier should be able to provide you with comprehensive information that would help you find equipment that is tailor-made for your specific requirements.
