Drive-in Rack

SDW06, Drive-in Rack Systems

Drive-in Rack is the lowest cost and most popular form of high density pallet storage. It can be serviced by a variety of forklifts including counterbalanced and reach trucks.
This system is base on the storage by accumulation principle, which enables the highest use of available space in terms of both area and height.

Drive-in pallet racking is ideal for storing large quantities of the same type of goods: your existing space can be used up to 85% more effectively with Drive-in racking compared to standard, conventional pallet storage systems.

Drive-in racking is suitable for goods that can be stored on pallets behind or on top of each other, but ideal when greater access is required compared to block stacking. Pallets are stacked by the first-in, last-out (FILO) principle on supports mounted on both sides of the drive-in channels. This means that individual pallets cannot be accessed directly, but one by one from the front of the rack.

Drive-in racking eliminates the need for loading and picking aisles. The lift truck positions pallets on front-to-back rails, allowing rows to be stacked next to each other.

Benefits of Drive-in Racking

•    High density storage - Maximum profitability of the available space (up to 85%).
•    More pallets stored per cubic metre than any other storage system
•    Used in operations where there are many of the same type product.
•    Accessible by the First-In, Last-Out principle
•    Greater storage density than selective pallet rack because of the minimum number of forklift aisles needed.
