A pick module is an engineered racking system that integrates several pieces of material handling and storage equipment. The goal is to consolidate space and move products efficiently through a facility. Some pick module systems are capable of fulfilling over one hundred thousand orders per day, processing millions of units in a week.
The idea behind a pick module is to optimize flow efficiency. Palletized loads move, using gravity, before being broken down into cartons and pieces. After this stage, products are sent to pick areas and, finally, shipped to the customer.
A pick module can be designed for automated pick applications, manual operations or a combination of both. This helps reduce walking time and can help save on labor costs. These systems leverage several different racking systems as well as other material handling solutions. This can include everything from pallet flow racks and mezzanines to carton flow racking and conveyors.
These comprehensive and expansive systems come with some great
benefits.
Pick modules put everything for effective storage, retrieval and picking in a single engineered system, saving on travel time and labor costs.

Pick modules are first in, first out (FIFO) multi-level picking systems usually consisting of pallet racking, carton/case flow or pallet flow and conveyor or sortation systems. These systems are great for high-volume order fulfillment. Pick modules can be constructed from multiple styles and brands of pallet racking and equipment, making it a versatile material handling solution.
We stock all different kinds of pick modules, which can either be erected in the original configuration or customized and engineered for your specific warehouse scenario.
You don’t have to tackle the design and installation of a pick module alone. In fact, with these types of systems, it’s beneficial to have storage equipment experts on your side. Our team is ready to help with your next installation project. With our comprehensive installation services, you can rest assured your pick module is set up to both manufacturer specifications and generally accepted safety standards.
Pick modules are fairly complex systems. They consist of multiple components that all help streamline picking operations. While most installations will be custom in nature, a couple of configurations are common:
Pick modules are perfect for many different warehouse environments. Not only do they maximize picking efficiency, but they can save you some serious space, too. Saving space helps alleviate the pressure to expand or move to a larger facility. Additionally, pick modules can reduce overall labor costs by eliminating walk time for order pickers. Lastly, pick modules mean your team will stock inventory more quickly using the concentrated storage system.
While we have quality used pick modules in stock, we can also work closely with your team to design a custom pick module for your facility. Because pick modules consist of multiple pieces of storage equipment, creating a custom configuration to meet your facility’s layout and product requirements is easy. Our qualified team of engineers, fabricators and installers can make sure every aspect of your pick module installation goes smoothly.
By putting everything a worker needs for efficient operations in the same area, a pick module cuts the time needed to find products and send them off to the next zone. The idea is to create systems that work with your facility's needs and worker demands without sacrificing too much floor space.
While you’ll find systems in our inventory, most pick modules are custom to the facility. In most cases when it comes to pick module design, planning goes into what equipment is necessary and where it needs to go in the configuration. Things like operational factors, picking volume and replenishment needs will help inform this process.
