The mobile racking system that turns aisles into storage capacity
COMPATTA, the mobile base system that adapts to any racking
Pallet racking, cantilever, multi-tier racking: existing structures in your warehouse mount onto COMPATTA, becoming mobile without being replaced.
The same system handles goods of different sizes and weights (bins, coils, reels, profiles, non-standard pallets) reconfigurable over time as your operational needs evolve.

Why does COMPATTA optimize the space you already have?
Every COMPATTA is designed around the available space, the loads to be managed, and the structures already in place. There is no standard configuration: there is the right one for your layout, your goods, and your operational flows.
-
ADAPTABLE
Pallet racking, cantilever, multi-tier racking: existing structures in your warehouse mount onto COMPATTA, becoming mobile without being replaced. Your prior investment is not written off, it is enhanced.
-
EXPANDABLE
Add mobile bases as your operations grow. The initial investment is not a ceiling: it’s a starting point.
-
AGV-READY
The open, controlled aisle synchronizes with the automated flow without bottlenecks. Designed to work alongside existing automated handling systems.
-
VERSATILE
Operates down to -30°C in cold storage rooms, reducing energy consumption by eliminating unnecessary empty spaces. Handles goods of different sizes and weights, bins, coils, reels, profiles, non-standard pallets.
-
DURABLE
Sendzimir galvanized finish for maximum corrosion protection. Burback A45 guide rails for reduced wear over time. Load capacity up to 1,200 tons per mobile base.
-
SAFE
Photoelectric barriers on aisles and entry fronts. FLOW system for automatic forklift detection. Manual operation always requires explicit operator consent.
-
COST-EFFECTIVE
Excellent capacity-to-pallet-cost ratio, fast installation, low maintenance costs. In refrigerated environments, energy savings are measurable within the first months.
-
INTUITIVE
On-base buttons, remote control for operation without leaving the forklift, 10″ operator panel with web-based interface. Near-zero learning curve.
ICON, the intelligent component of COMPATTA
ICON is ICAM’s proprietary software governing COMPATTA’s entire operation: real-time monitoring of every mobile base, user and access management, mapping and control of traditional racking with full traceability on every operation.
Integration with WMS, ERP, and logistics platforms is native, no custom development required.

All the details about COMPATTA
How COMPATTA works
COMPATTA consists of racking units mounted on mobile bases that run on rails embedded in the floor.
The bases compact and open the access aisle exclusively at the required position: the operator issues the command via the on-base panel or remote control, without leaving the forklift
Compared to a traditional fixed-racking system, COMPATTA recovers over 40% of warehouse floor space, or, in the same space, increases storage capacity by over 80%. No structural work. No operational downtime.
-
01
Step 1: Aisle selection
The operator selects the desired aisle via the on-base panel or remote control, without leaving the forklift. -
02
Step 2: Aisle opening and material access
The mobile bases translate, opening the aisle at the required position. The operator accesses on foot for manual picking or by forklift for heavy loads. -
03
Step 3: Exit verification
When present, the FLOW system records forklift entry and exit, and automatically enables movement consent only when the area is clear. -
04
Step 4: Closing
The movement is recorded in ICON.
Technical Specifications
Mobile bases
COMPATTA mobile bases, available in 4 series (LB, MS, ML, MR) with 2- or 4-wheel configurations, cover load capacities from 400 up to 1,200 metric tons per base. Length is configurable from 2 to 75 meters, with translation speed up to 7.2 m/min. All series feature Burback A45 guide rails with Sendzimir galvanized finish as standard.
Racking
Any type of racking mounts onto COMPATTA mobile bases, pallet racking, cantilever, and multi-tier racking, new or already present in the warehouse. The first load level height is 310 mm for pallet bases, compatible with manual pallet trucks, and variable for cantilever bases depending on the column sizing.
System and control
A single main control panel manages up to 8 sub-systems, each consisting of a maximum of 24 aisles. The 10″ PC Panel operator panel and remote control allow aisle selection without leaving the forklift. ICON software handles monitoring, alarms, traceability, and native WMS/ERP integration.

Configurations
COMPATTA adapts to your space
COMPATTA has no standard configuration. It adapts to the available space, load type, and environmental conditions of the installation.
Cold storage and refrigerated environments
In temperature-controlled environments, every cubic meter of empty space has a direct energy cost. COMPATTA drastically reduces unnecessary empty aisles, maintains a uniform temperature by eliminating thermal dispersion between open aisles, and doubles storage capacity without expanding the cold room. All components (drive system, electrical panels, wiring, sensors) are rated for operation down to -30°C. Energy savings are measurable within the first months of operation.
Explosive material environments
The flameproof version of COMPATTA can be used to reduce the risk of fires and explosions through the use of electrical materials which conform to the regulatory standards (electrical panels, wiring, sensors, sirens, push button control panels and motors). In this way inflammable and explosive materials such as inks, paints and solvents can be stored more safely.
Multi-system installation in the same facility
When storage needs grow or spread across different areas of the facility, multiple COMPATTA systems can operate in a coordinated manner under a single main control panel, managing up to 8 sub-systems and 24 aisles each. A scalable solution that follows operational growth without requiring new control infrastructure.
Optionals
FLOW — ForkLift-Optimized Warehouse
FLOW is the intelligent forklift detection system integrated in COMPATTA.
It automatically detects forklift entry and exit from the operational area and enables movement consent only when the total vehicle count reaches zero that is, when the area is certified clear. In a warehouse where forklifts and mobile bases share the same operational space, FLOW is what makes it possible to work safely without slowing down flows.
The remote control does not include a consent button precisely because this function is entirely delegated to FLOW or to the buttons on the on-base panel.

COMPATTA can be equipped with a range of options that extend base system functionality:
RELAX
The system that spaces racking units uniformly when the system is idle, ideal for cold storage rooms, for improved air circulation.
PICKING
The system for the simultaneous opening of multiple man-width aisles, ideal for manual picking operations.
