What is a high-bay warehouse in silo design?
High-bay warehouses in silo design are space-saving storage systems that function as a building-supporting structure specially developed for automated storage processes.
They are ideal for projects by system integrators who require high-performance and scalable logistics solutions. High-bay warehouses in silo design are available in the following variants:
- Pallet racking in single or double-deep.
- Cantilever racking is used to store long goods and heavy materials.
- Pallet shuttle satellite systems are crane-bound, level-bound, or autonomous.
Minimum and maximum heights of high-bay warehouses in silo design
Advantages of silo construction:
- Faster assembly time per pallet position.
- Higher storage density per pallet position (effect on temperature-controlled warehouses).
- Lower construction costs (especially for high-bay racking systems).
- Lower requirements for floor construction.
- Fewer and simpler design interfaces.
- High-bay warehouse up to 50 meters high.
Essential considerations for system integrators:
- Compliance with building regulations and safety guidelines.
- Optimising storage height for maximum capacity and efficiency.
- Use of suitable automation technology.
Requirements for the construction of high-bay warehouses in silo design
What system integrators should look out for:
- Floor stability: Load-bearing base for high point loads.
- Structural planning: Load calculation for racking and automation.
- Integration of automation: Systems for storage and retrieval machines and conveyor technology.
- Fire protection concepts: Customised solutions for tall buildings.
- Sustainability requirements: Materials and processes with a low CO₂ footprint.
High-bay warehouse in silo design in earthquake-prone areas
Special requirements:
System integrators must take the following points into account for projects in earthquake-prone regions:
- Earthquake-resistant racking: Use of flexible materials that can withstand seismic loads.
- Dynamic load testing: Consideration of shock and vibration loads.
- Anchoring: Additional safeguards for racking and building structures.
