Drive In Racking

Drive-In Pallet Racking has been designed specifically for high density storage of palletised, homogeneous products to enable maximum space utilisation and economic warehouse storage.

Drive-In Racking can be used in a wide range of environments and applications including general warehousing, cold storage and distribution centres, which offers many benefits in safety, operation and flexibility. This is the lowest cost solution for high density pallet storage and is cost effectively serviced by a range of forklift trucks including counterbalanced and reach trucks. An ideal system for “last in”, “first out” (LIFO) storage is normally suited to large quantities of the same product.

Drive-Thru Pallet Racking has entry points at both end of the structure and is different from Drive-In Racking which has a common entry and exit point. A Drive-Thru racking system with two different entry points can utilise a “first in”, “first out” (FIFO) storage method. With a FIFO system, pallets are loaded in one end and are pushed back to the other end, where they are then at the front of the row on the opposite side. The first pallet put into such a row is the first one taken out at the other end. This system is advantageous for material with an expiration date or wherever shelf life is a major concern.
