The Movirack mobile rack comes with three automatic operating modes (aisle, multi-aisle and parking) and a manual mode for maintenance. The aisle mode is used to open a single working aisle and store or remove pallets with a forklift. The multi-aisle mode, on the other hand, allows up to three aisles to be open simultaneously to perform picking. (These aisles will be narrower than a single open aisle). With the parking mode, the width of the working aisle is equally distributed among all possible aisles, i.e., all the mobile bases are deployed with the same width of separation between them. This function is typically activated to obtain better air circulation (especially in cold stores), take inventory and perform picking. Lastly, in manual mode — used mainly for maintenance tasks — the bases move individually by pressing the movement direction button on the mobile base’s on-board control panel continuously.
