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 on rails or on the floor allows a pallet to be removed from a rack by hand without the use of handling equipment (pallet truck, stacker, forklift, etc.). Simply grasp the central bar with both hands and push it upwards to unlock the central stop. Then pull on the
handle to pull out the drawer and push on the handle to push it back in; it will lock
automatically in the closed position.
Simplicity of use is another essential advantage, making manual handling of items stored on pallets much more convenient.
Concerning ergonomics and workplace safety, PRODEX’s pallet drawers comply with all relevant rules and norms, ensuring a safe and comfortable working environment for operators handling pallets.
1. A concept for optimizing space and flow
The Pal-Xpert pallet drawer is a pull-out module that can be integrated directly into existing installations, particularly pallet racking systems. Thanks to its sliding system, 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.
