ASRS Pallets

ASRS pallets are steel pallets built for Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems, the way forward for warehouse management. They play a critical role in the final storage of material, moving on conveyors and fitted with RFID so automated cranes and robots store and retrieve loads accurately without manual handling.

Mekins manufactures ASRS pallets for automated warehouses globally.

Steel pallets and metal pallets are the preferred storage choice in ASRS applications because of their longevity and cost benefits. They deliver a long service life, lower cost per cycle, and the dimensional accuracy that automated cranes and conveyors require.

Mekins engineers ASRS pallets to stay reliable across thousands of automated storage and retrieval cycles.

ASRS enables vertical storage, letting warehouses use full ceiling height instead of only floor space. Steel pallets and ASRS pallets support material safety with structural strength while enabling dense, automated high-bay storage.

Combined with conveyors, VNA systems, and robots, Mekins ASRS pallets increase storage density and retrieval speed compared to conventional manual warehousing operations.

Yes. Steel pallets and ASRS pallets are customised as per requirements to match customers' varied demands. Mekins engineers each ASRS pallet to specific dimensions, load capacities, and crane or conveyor interface specifications.

This ensures the pallet matches the exact automation system it operates within for seamless and reliable performance across the warehouse.

ASRS pallets are used across the tyre industry, FMCG, glass industry, and textile industry, among others. Any sector operating automated high-bay warehouses benefits from steel ASRS pallets for safe, high-density, automated storage of raw materials and finished goods.

Mekins supplies ASRS pallets to these industries in India and globally to large OEMs.

Steel is the preferred material for ASRS pallets. Steel holds the dimensional accuracy and structural strength that automated systems require, unlike wood and plastic which can warp or deform over repeated cycles.

Mekins manufactures ASRS pallets in plain, cage, and wire-mesh steel constructions to suit different loads and automated warehouse applications.

ASRS pallets and steel pallets function with robots, VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) systems, and conveyors. They move on conveyors and are fitted with RFID for proper storage and sorting.

This allows robotic systems to identify, load, retrieve, and route each pallet automatically. Mekins designs ASRS pallets for seamless integration with robotic material handling systems.

ASRS pallets and steel pallets can be designed for various load capacities. Mekins' standard plain pallets include:

• Omega Construction — MAPL/MH/023: 500 kg capacity, 1000 x 950 x 150mm
• Corrugated Construction — MAPL/MH/024: 900 kg capacity, 1200 x 1000 x 150mm

Custom load capacities are also available on request.

ASRS pallets move on conveyors and are fitted with RFID for proper storage and sorting of materials, allowing automated cranes and robots to handle storage and retrieval.

This reduces dependence on manual forklift operation and labour, lowering ongoing warehouse costs while improving speed and accuracy. Mekins ASRS pallets are engineered for automated, low-labour operations.

Selecting the right ASRS pallet depends on your load weight, pallet dimensions, construction type such as Omega, Corrugated, cage, or wire-mesh, and automation interface requirements such as conveyor, VNA, robotic, or RFID integration.
