What are the different warehouse storage systems, and for what type of merchandise are they used ?

Warehouse storage can roughly be broken down to three categories: shelving, containers and pallets. While pallets are intended for transport, they often end up serving as interim storage tools. Obviously, shelves house containers, and the two necessarily go together.

Your question also talked about what merchandise is stored in each of these containers. Without more narrow criteria, the answer could fill a book. Rest assured if you have a product to store, there’s a container out there waiting for you.

Here are a few types of highly specialized containers:

Bakery containers

Produce containers

Recycle/curbside containers

Postal totes

Pharmacy bins

Gas cylinder carts

Tools bins

Medical storage.

Cold storage for storing frozen products. Maintains the temperature according to the specified temp.

FIFO is the best practice.
