Abstract
Material handling system is the art and science of conveying, elevating, positioning, transporting, packaging and storing of materials. It’s not today that stacking rack systems have been in use in the warehouses. However, in some warehouses, the stacking racks available needs the use of forklift for the retrieval of goods. This paper is focused on the design of a mini warehouse stacking system that allows the retrieval of goods and equipped with features that allows easy flow of material from the loading end and without the use of forklift with the aisles. A 3D CAD model was developed and analysis was carried out and the results showed that material could easily and efficiently be moved from the loading end to the receiving end and be retrieved with the help of a lifting mechanism with ease. This design will improve the safety of the workers, goods and the efficiency of the general warehouse.
