Pallet Racking
Quote-led storage system • Storage study recommended
Shrusti Mobile Pallet Racking is a operator-controlled mobile pallet storage solution for wide SKU range, space- or refrigeration-constrained. It provides every pallet (100%) with high storage density and is planned around forklift + motorised base control.
Product overview
Shrusti Mobile Pallet Racking is designed for wide SKU range, space- or refrigeration-constrained. Pallet-racking rows sit on motorised mobile bases that travel on floor-set rails. The operator opens the required aisle, then uses a forklift to place or retrieve pallets directly from the selected row. The system balances high storage density with every pallet (100%) and uses operator-managed, any sequence stock flow. Selection starts with the confirmed load unit, inventory profile, available height, floor layout and handling method. Final structural ratings, dimensions and accessories are stated in the Shrusti quotation and approved layout.

Product FAQs
It is a pallet storage system where racking rows sit on motorised bases that slide along floor-set rails, so only the one aisle currently in use needs to stay open, while a forklift still places and retrieves every pallet directly.
Yes — Shrusti specifically positions it for cold chambers, refrigerators, and freezers, where reducing permanently open aisle space lowers the refrigerated volume that needs to be cooled.
Yes — Shrusti states the system gives 100% direct access to every pallet, unlike static high-density systems such as drive-in racking that trade access for density.
the product profile describes sensor technology and centralised or remote control options built in to help ensure safe operation as aisles open and close; specific safety-interlock certifications should be confirmed with Shrusti.
It is best suited to wide SKU range, space- or refrigeration-constrained, using palletised goods, esp. cold storage.
The catalogue classifies its storage density as high. Actual capacity depends on the approved layout and load profile.
Storage access is described as every pallet (100%).
The documented handling method is forklift + motorised base control. The exact equipment envelope must be checked before the aisle or bay layout is approved.
The documented stock-rotation approach is operator-managed, any sequence.
It is intended for palletised goods, esp. cold storage. Final load ratings and dimensions are confirmed in the Shrusti technical offer.
Yes. Typical configurable elements include block length, number of mobile bases, aisle width, rack configuration, controls, security and cold-room finish requirements. within the approved engineering scope.
Additional mobile bases or rack sections may be added where rail length, floor loading and control capacity permit.
Shrusti is based in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, and has more than four decades of material-handling and storage-system experience.
Yes. The project scope can cover requirement study, layout, system selection, supply, installation, handover and ongoing support.
Yes. Bay dimensions, levels, row lengths, access routes, storage method and accessories are selected around the confirmed load, inventory profile and facility.
AMC, preventive maintenance and rack-inspection support can be included in the commercial scope for the installed system.
Share the facility layout, clear height, load dimensions and weight, SKU and pallet profile, required storage capacity, handling equipment and target project timeline.
Mobile pallet racking mounts racking rows on motorised bases that move along floor-set rails, keeping only one working aisle open at a time so a forklift can still directly place and retrieve any pallet. Warehouses use it to combine near drive-in levels of storage density with full pallet access, which is why it's commonly specified for cold storage, where floor and refrigerated volume are expensive.
Choose Mobile Pallet Racking when the operation has wide SKU range, space- or refrigeration-constrained and needs every pallet (100%) with high storage density.
Selection begins with the load unit, SKU profile, required positions, building envelope and forklift + motorised base control. Final dimensions and ratings follow the approved layout.
No. Mobile Pallet Racking is a quote-led storage system configured around the facility, load and operating method.
Why choose Shrusti
Shrusti has engineered material handling and storage systems from Chennai since 1985. Each racking project starts with the load unit, SKU profile, facility envelope, handling equipment and operating flow, then moves through layout development, structural selection, supply, installation and handover. Customers can also scope site study, commissioning, operator guidance, AMC and lifecycle support through one accountable team.
