Ergonomic picking units<br />
Front picking is vital in eliminating the muda caused<br />
by waiting, processing and unnecessary movement.<br />
The LeanTek ® system lets you create an infinite<br />
variety of picking units.<br />
Here are the 4 main types.<br />
• The standard stop<br />
This is the simplest solution for<br />
supermarket and work-in-progress<br />
storage racks.<br />
The sloping rack<br />

The standard stop<br />
• The sloping rack<br />
This rack is also quick to assemble,<br />
but the ergonomic arrangement at<br />
the front slopes towards the<br />
operator, making picking easier.<br />
This solution requires the structure of<br />
the rack to be designed at an<br />
incline. A combination of LeanTek ®<br />
components F-F, F-T and F-G are<br />
used to create the required angles.<br />
(cf page 78-79-82)<br />
• The T rack<br />
This system is original to LeanTek ®<br />
and uses a space into which the<br />
container tips forwards in an<br />
inclined position, held between<br />
the inner and outer tubes.<br />
Moving the outer tube up and<br />
down adjusts the gradient to angle<br />
required to accommodate the<br />
configuration of container used.<br />
The T rack provides the steepest<br />
gradient possible within a<br />
traditional rack design.<br />
• The traditional rack<br />
This is the traditional solution seen<br />
in most applications.<br />
