Contact UsManual carton picking directly from lower pallet racking levels represents one of the most persistent bottlenecks and ergonomic hazards in modern warehousing.
In standard selective pallet racking, floor-level pallets require workers to crawl or contort their bodies beneath low longitudinal crossbeams to reach stock at the rear. This awkward posture causes severe musculoskeletal fatigue, escalates occupational injury claims, and drastically reduces picking velocity. Furthermore, forklift operators are forced to provide oversized vertical clearances—typically 400 mm to 600 mm—solely so pickers can fit their arms inside the rack profile.
Pull-Out Unit Solutions by DEXION RACKING eliminate these operational compromises. By mounting sliding drawer mechanisms directly to warehouse floor slabs or longitudinal rack beams, complete pallets glide effortlessly out into the aisle. Workers access items safely from three sides in an upright, neutral ergonomic posture. Overhead clearance can be tightened to minimal operational margins, instantly reclaiming vertical storage space for extra pallet tiers.
Engineered Pull-Out Unit Solutions deployed in modern distribution and production centers
Deploying sliding loads inside pallet racking requires uncompromising structural engineering calculation.
When an operator extends a 1,000 kg pallet out into an aisle, the center of gravity shifts entirely away from the racking centerline. This cantilevered condition introduces massive torsional twisting forces along supporting horizontal beams and substantial overturning uplift on upright frames. Conventional shelving drawers or uncertified sliders risk catastrophic racking deformation or joint dislodgement.
DEXION RACKING pull-out units are structurally validated under European standard EN 15512 and SEMA structural recommendations. Our engineers assess beam cross-sections, frame upright gauges, and baseplate floor anchor tensile strengths before confirming any multi-level drawer installation. Automatic multi-point mechanical latches lock units safely in fully open and closed positions, preventing runaway movement during operational workflows.

Heavy Tooling Constructed from thick structural cold-formed profiles with dual roller tracks for injection molds, heavy stamping dies, motors, and tooling components requiring overhead gantry crane extraction.
Cold Chain Engineered with synthetic cryogenic greases and frost-tolerant sealed roller bearings. Flawless glide performance down to -30°C in high-cube frozen food and cold distribution distribution centers.
Mezzanines Optimized low-tare designs configured specifically for multi-tier picking structures. Delivers dense SKU presentation without overloading elevated structural decking or subfloor joists.
How changing warehouse dynamics, rising industrial rent, and automation are reshaping global pull-out unit procurement.
Modern distribution facilities are rapidly shifting toward collaborative order fulfillment where Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) transport totes while human associates pick individual items. Pull-Out Unit Solutions provide the precise geometric presentation necessary for rapid manual picking and future robotic vision bin-picking arms, functioning as the vital interface between high-bay static pallet storage and automated robotic transit.
With prime logistics real estate rates hitting historic highs globally, warehouse operators can no longer afford wasted vertical gaps inside pallet racking. Modern procurement teams specify pull-out units because collapsing a 500 mm manual reach gap down to an 80 mm structural margin allows warehouses to add an entire extra horizontal beam level across existing rack runs without raising the facility roof.
Regulatory authorities such as OSHA and European health boards are enforcing strict limits on repetitive lumbar strain, bent-spine lifting, and awkward reach thresholds. Warehouses failing to address manual pick ergonomics face rising insurance premiums and labor turnover. Certified heavy-duty pull-out units are increasingly purchased as mandatory health and safety preventative infrastructure.
