The PRODEX “Pal-Xpert” pallet drawer is a solution that combines ergonomics, safety, and robustness.
PRODEX, part of the MAVENTIS group, manufactures various types of pallet drawers that can be extended by 70%, 100% and even more. These drawers are designed to meet a variety of applications in the industrial sector, whether upstream or downstream of workstations, for order preparation, storage of tools, production parts, and much more, all packaged on pallets.
How it works
The pallet drawer can be mounted on rack beams or floor-mounted. It allows manual extraction of a pallet from a rack without the need for handling equipment (pallet truck, stacker, forklift, etc.).
The operator simply grips the central bar with both hands and lifts it slightly to release the central locking stop. The drawer is then pulled out using the handle and pushed back in to close it. Locking occurs automatically in the closed position.
Simplicity of use is another essential advantage, making manual handling of items stored on pallets much more convenient.
In terms of ergonomics and workplace safety, the pallet drawer complies with all applicable rules and standards. It ensures a safe and comfortable working environment for operators handling pallets.
1. A concept for optimizing space and flow
The Pal-Xpert pallet drawer is an extractable system that integrates directly into existing installations, particularly pallet racking systems.
Thanks to its sliding mechanism, it provides front access to stored loads without having to move the pallet.
The benefits:
-
Saves time in handling,
-
Reduction in unnecessary forklift movements,
-
Deep storage optimization.
2. A range adapted to every need
PRODEX offers different versions that can be adapted to all industrial configurations:
-
100% smooth drawer: full extension of the pallet for complete accessibility.
-
70% extension drawer: partial extension, ideal for quick access.
-
100% floor drawer: optimal solution for pallets stored at floor level.
-
70% floor drawer: economical version for occasional use.
These variants meet the layout constraints of workshops, upstream or downstream of workstations, for order preparation, tool storage, or production parts management.
3. Key technical specifications
-
Load capacity: from 500 kg to 1,250 kg per drawer (depending on model).
-
Extraction stroke: 70% or 100% for simplified access. Over 100% (on request)
-
Structure: galvanized steel, resistant to corrosion and impact.
-
Mounting: compatible with most shelving systems on the market.
-
Safety: automatic locking in retracted and extended positions.
-
Ergonomics: accessible control handle and reduced pulling effort.
4. Ergonomics and safety
Compliant with current safety standards, Pal-Xpert drawers reduce the risks associated with manual handling. Operators can access products without bending or twisting, thereby limiting musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).
The secure locking system prevents any unintentional movement of the drawer during handling.
5. A sustainable and economical solution
Galvanized steel ensures robustness and durability, even in harsh environments (dust, humidity, temperature variations). By optimizing logistics flows and reducing the use of carts, Pal-Xpert drawers also help to reduce operating costs.
6. Applications in industry
There are many industrial sectors that use this system:
-
Automotive: storage of spare parts, specialized tools.
-
Aeronautics: management of sensitive components.
-
Agri-food: optimization of picking areas.
-
Logistics: picking of multi-reference orders.
