CHL Forklift Bangladesh Ltd. is a professional industrial company for integrated warehouse supply and electric forklift and electric stacker marketing in Bangladesh. Integrated warehousing is an indispensable component of the modern industrial system. Compared with conventional warehousing, it delivers higher industrial standards, greater space utilisation efficiency and lower inventory costs. The core objective is to significantly improve warehouse storage density and space utilisation efficiency and reduce inventory costs within limited physical space, through rational cargo layout, narrowed operational aisle width and enhanced multi-level storage capacity.
Turnkey EPC-model solutions
CHL Forklift Bangladesh Ltd. delivers turnkey overall solutions for integrated logistics and warehousing under the EPC model, covering planning and design of the integrated warehouse, process design of warehouse logistics, supply of storage racks and accessories, selection and supply of warehousing equipment, as well as installation and commissioning on site. An integrated warehousing system consists of a rack system, goods handling vehicles and pallets. A fully automated stereoscopic warehousing system additionally includes inbound and outbound handling equipment, the Warehouse Control System (WCS) for cargo movement and access control, and the Warehouse Management System (WMS) for warehouse administration and transaction logging.
1. Conventional integrated warehousing
Applicable to mixed, special-shaped cargo with large variations in unit weight and dimensions, in warehouses with low ceiling height. Features: heavy-duty racks or heavy-duty special pallets with a small number of tiers; relatively wide rack aisles, generally 3.5-4.5 m; rack height 0-6 m.
2. Narrow Aisle integrated warehousing
Applicable to mixed goods with moderate unit weight and simple profiles, in warehouses with high ceiling height. Features: special assembled racks with a large number of tiers; narrower rack aisles, generally 2.5-3 m; rack height 0-12.5 m; high-density storage, with storage efficiency increased by 140-160% compared with conventional warehousing.
3. Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) integrated warehousing
Applicable to mixed goods of low unit weight, varying dimensions and simple profiles, in warehouses with high ceiling height. Features: professional assembled racks with a large number of tiers; very narrow rack aisles, generally 1.5-1.65 m; rack height 0-14.2 m; ultra-high-density storage, with storage efficiency increased by 200% compared with conventional warehousing. Only MC series three-way pallet stackers can be adopted for VNA operation.
4. Channel integrated warehousing
Applicable to mixed goods of a single or few product categories with identical dimensions, stored in warehouses with high ceiling height. Especially suitable for products following first in, first out (FIFO), such as pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs and time-limited chemicals. Features: professional assembled racks with multiple tiers; goods loaded from one side and unloaded from the other side; internal channels in the rack assembly, with no aisles reserved between racks for vehicles, and vehicle operating aisles of generally 1.8-3.5 m arranged only around the rack assembly; rack height 0-12 m; ultra-high-density storage, with storage efficiency increased by 300% compared with conventional warehousing. Storage capacity is approximately three times that of conventional racks.
5. Integrated warehousing for long material
Applicable to mixed goods with heavy unit weight, extra-long dimensions and relatively few categories, housed in warehouses with high ceiling height. Features: professional assembled cantilever racks with multiple tiers; relatively narrow rack aisles, generally 2.5-3 m; rack height 0-11 m; storage capacity increased by approximately 60% compared with normal warehousing; fork carriage can be extended up to 6.0 m.
6. Fully automated stereoscopic warehousing
A pallet four-way shuttle type automated dense warehousing system. Its hardware mainly consists of pallet four-way shuttle racks, intelligent four-way shuttles, elevators for pallet cargo and shuttle layer transfer, and inter-layer conveying lines. Its core is the deep integration of WMS and WCS. Combined with AGV forklifts, the system can realise short-range inbound and outbound handling, automatic put-away, automatic inventory inquiry and retrieval, and fully automated operations. Applicable to mixed goods of low unit weight, small dimensions and a wide variety of SKUs, housed in warehouses with high ceiling height. Features: professional shuttle rack assembly with multiple tiers; no aisles between racks for vehicles, maximising storage space utilisation; extremely high warehousing and material handling efficiency with fully automated operations; the number of storage locations increases by 33% compared with VNA warehouses, and storage efficiency rises by nearly 300% versus conventional integrated warehousing.
Material handling vehicles
Material handling vehicles applicable to integrated warehousing systems fall into six major categories: forklifts, electric stackers, reach trucks, multi-directional forklifts, three-way stackers, AGV forklifts, stackers and pallet trucks, and pallet trucks. Examples from the brochure: Forklifts – CHL CPC/CPD, 1.5-5 tons, lift 3-6 m; MIMA MK, 1.5-5 tons, lift 4.5-7.5 m. Reach trucks – CHL CQD/MF/MFA/MFZ, capacity 1.2-3 tons, lift 5.5-12.5 m; Order picker MIMA MFE, capacity 1.4-2 tons, lift up to 10.16 m. Multi-directional forklifts – MIMA MQ/MQD, capacity 2.5-3.5 tons, lift 1.5-12.5 m, fork rotation 180 degrees. Three-way pallet stackers – MIMA MC, capacity 1-1.6 tons, lift up to 12.5 m. AGV forklifts – MIMA MB/MV/MK, capacity 1.5-4 tons, lift 1.6-6 m. AGV pallet trucks – MIMA ME, capacity 1.5-3 tons. Pallet trucks – CHL CBD, 1.5-3.5 tons; STAXX EPT/PPT, 1.5/2 tons. Electric stackers include low-level and high-level stackers from CHL, MIMA and STAXX; some stacker capacity and lift figures in the brochure print are garbled and are therefore not reproduced here.
Metal racks
Metal racks are a key part of modern warehousing systems, designed according to the size, weight and type of stored goods. Solutions include Beam Racks, Channel Racks, Cantilever Racks and Four-Way Shuttle Racks. Racks are manufactured from high-quality cold-rolled steel with rust protection, phosphating and durable powder coating for high strength, long service life and easy installation. Beam Racks are the most widely used, offering simple structure, high adaptability and easy loading and unloading. Light-duty racks: 100-200 kg per level. Medium-duty racks: 200-800 kg per level. Heavy-duty racks: up to 800-5000 kg per tier, with convenient assembly and flexible height adjustment, and are the most commonly used rack type for warehousing in industrial enterprises. Cantilever racks are designed for storing long-form materials, ring-shaped goods and irregular-shaped items, with cantilever arms mounted onto uprights, available in single-sided and double-sided configurations and single-arm and double-arm variants, classified by load-bearing capacity into light, medium and heavy duty; cantilever arm length is generally within 1.5 m, with typical per-arm load capacity up to 1000 kg. Channel racks create open spaces framed by uprights and beams, where paired beams form runners and channel space, with goods and pallets loaded from one side and unloaded from the other. Four-way shuttle racks are mainly assembled from upright frames, support beams, sub tracks, main tracks, tie rods, end supports and direction-change tracks to accommodate the movement of four-way shuttle vehicles.
Optional accessories
Positioning Magnetic Strip: guides three-way stackers in narrow and very-narrow aisles and helps prevent collision with racking. Mechanical Guide Rail: restricts and guides three-way stackers in narrow and very-narrow aisles; guide rail height is at least 100 mm. Racking Accessories: stacking frames, knock-down stacking frames, steel pallets and turnover boxes. Racking construction: uprights, beams and steel shelf panels are cold-rolled from steel strip according to design, followed by rust removal, degreasing, phosphating and electrostatic epoxy powder coating or painting for high strength, durability and ease of installation.
