Customizable Design

The design of Pick Towers and Pick Modules is highly customizable, with full pallets stored on upper levels and a selection of flooring options at the cross-aisle beams. Pick Modules are typically constructed using shelving bays, ideal for a variety of picking activities, while Pick Towers are generally rack supported and used primarily for high-volume SKUs and picks, often integrating Carton Flow Racking or Pallet Flow Racking systems. This adaptability suits applications ranging from archive and hospital record storage to full distribution center operations.

Material Handling Integration

These systems are most effective when combined with conveyors, allowing pickers to move efficiently among shelving aisles as completed orders transfer to the main aisle conveyor for shipping. Vertical lifts, stair towers, and elevators can also be integrated, along with partitions and fencing for added security.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a Pick Tower and a Pick Module?
A Pick Module is typically built from shelving bays and works well for a variety of hand-picking activities. A Pick Tower is generally rack supported, built for high-volume SKUs and picks, and often integrates Carton Flow or Pallet Flow systems underneath.
Can I store full pallets on a Pick Tower while still hand-picking cases below?
Yes. Pick Towers and Pick Modules are designed so full pallets can be stored on upper levels with independent lift truck access, while pickers work case-picking levels below, letting you combine bulk storage and active picking in the same footprint.
Do Pick Towers work with conveyors and automated systems?
Yes, they're built for it. Pick Modules and Pick Towers integrate with conveyor systems to move completed orders to shipping, and the structures are compatible with automated retrieval systems as well as fully manual hand-picking operations.
What flooring options are available for a multi-level Pick Module?
NAS Group offers several flooring choices for the cross-aisle beams and upper levels, including roof deck, metal panels, lumber, and wire mesh decking, so the system can be configured to the product weight and picking method being used.
How much extra warehouse space do I need to add a Pick Tower?
Very little floor space beyond the tower's footprint. Pick Towers and Pick Modules are designed to maximize vertical air space rather than horizontal square footage, and they can be engineered around existing building columns and obstructions, helping you avoid the cost of expanding the building.
