Facilities with many pallets per SKU (each channel can hold a different SKU) • Warehouses with massive inbound/outbound flows of homogeneous goods

High-density storage of palletized goods with high turnover • Order picking areas for cartons and light loads (carton flow)

High-density storage in distribution centers with a mix of medium-depth SKUs • Warehouses needing more density than selective rack but with a wider SKU variety than drive-in systems

High-density storage and buffering in e-commerce fulfillment centers • Automated parts storage in manufacturing and automotive industries

Storing lumber, pipes, and metal profiles in building material and construction supply warehouses • Warehousing for furniture, carpets, and other lengthy home goods

Retail, e-commerce, and Third-Party Logistics (3PL) fulfillment centers • Operations with high-SKU counts and space constraints

High-density storage of homogeneous or batch-stored pallets • Cold storage facilities where minimizing aisle openings is beneficial

Storage and replenishment inventory for order fulfillment in pick modules or goods-to-person systems • Buffer storage for raw materials, work-in-progress (WIP), and finished goods in manufacturing
