The Pallet Mole®
Utilizing the latest technology in compact, high density storage, FRAZIER’s semi-automated Pallet Mole® racking solutions can Increase Productivity, Throughput and Pallet positions by up to 30% in a warehouse application.
High Density Pallet Rack Storage
When it comes to choosing the best high density Storage Solution for your business, there are a number of critical factors to consider – cost, space availability, throughput and SKU (Stock Keeping Units) counts all play an important role in selecting the proper storage solution for your operation. The Pallet Mole® offers the following advantages over traditional storage solutions:
- Maximizes density over 6-high and 50 pallet positions deep
- Increases Productivity, Throughput and Pallet Poistions by up to 30%
- Allows for a truck to be loaded/unloaded in less than 30 minutes
- Ideal for both FIFO (First-In, First-Out) and LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) applications
- Optimizes labor efficiency
- Enhances accuracy of inventory control
Semi-Automated Shuttle
The Pallet Mole® runs underneath the pallet loads on rails, delivering and extracting pallets within a deep lane rack system. Working in either FIFO or LIFO applications, the Pallet Mole® significantly improves throughput by indexing loads directly to the first pallet position at the aisle face. Using a RF controller or Wi-Fi compatible device, the operator can instruct the electro-mechanical platform to lift, lower, or shuttle pallets to the desired position; or program the system to run various predetermined functions. 4 wheel drive and an optimal battery life for cold storage make the Pallet Mole® adaptable to a variety of applications.
A key feature of the Pallet Mole is four heavy duty ball bearings on each corner of the platform working with the screw-drive lift system to raise the deck lid up. The deck lid as a whole picks up the load and as a result, lift performance is not dependent on the strength of the pallet. This lift system also transfers the weight of the load to the wheels of the unit; consequently, the body of the unit des not carry the weight or assume the wear and tear associated with such an action.

Developed as Frazier’s response to strict updated fire code requirements, the Pallet Spacing System & Method Patent allows is a key value add across the Pallet Mole rack solution.
It allows users to be code compliant by managing a 6″ spacing between pallets sorted in the rack system. The 6″ spacing is maintained in both the front-to-back direction as well as in vertical alignment. Watch to learn more:
- “What really drove the decision was how fast we could effectively load the system and offload to the truck with a limited number of operators. With a 25-deep, 40-wide Pallet Mole® system only feet from the bottling line and the loading dock, we are extremely confident that we’ll reach our goal of twenty minutes per truck load in Kansas City.” – Bernie Zarda, Vice President, Premium Waters
- “Frazier is a Five Star company and I give my full recommendation of them across the board. We have most recently installed the Pallet Mole® solution which has been a major success in our warehouse. We look forward to working on future projects with Frazier’s skilled Account Management and Project Management Teams.” – Michael Becht, General Manager, Bartlett Dairy & Food Service
