A racking silo, also known as a silo rack or clad rack warehouse, is an innovative storage system that combines pallet racking with the structural elements of a building. The stow Silo system offers a highly efficient solution by utilizing vertical space through high-bay racking. Unlike traditional setups, the racking serves as the warehouse’s load-bearing structure, with walls and roofing attached directly to the uprights. This eliminates the need for a separate building frame, making it a cost-effective solution that reduces both construction time and costs, while optimizing storage space.
Overall, racking silos provide a unique, space-efficient, and cost-effective solution for warehouse storage, delivering faster construction times and greater optimization than conventional warehouse systems.

stow Silo: A wide range of possibilities
To ensure both structural stability and cost efficiency, our solutions incorporate a range of features such as bracings, anchorage systems, and premium SIGMA beams. Moreover, steel substructures reinforce the walls and roof in both the front and rear zones of the stow Silo, enhancing overall durability. Each design is meticulously engineered with consideration for load type, weight, and size, ensuring optimal performance and cost-effectiveness.
The design and scope of the stow Silo racking structure allows for a wide range of possibilities like platforms for maintenance, conveyors, or visitors, staircases, ladders and towers, and top guide rails for stacker cranes. All Movu automation solutions can be fully integrated. And of course there is all possible safety equipment, such as fences, doors, handrails, and more.
