What is Drive In Pallet Rack
Drive-in pallet rack, also known as drive-through pallet rack, is a type of industrial storage system designed to maximize warehouse space utilization. This system is particularly useful for high-density storage of bulk items that have a low rate of turnover.
In a drive-in pallet rack system, pallets are stored on rails that run the depth of the rack. This creates a continuous channel, allowing forklifts to drive directly into the rack to deposit or retrieve pallets. Because this system does not require aisles between every row of racking, it can provide up to 80% more storage space than other pallet rack systems.
However, because pallets are stored in close proximity to each other in the drive-in system, there can be a higher risk of damage to the pallets or the racking itself. Additionally, the last pallet to be loaded into the rack will be the first one to be retrieved, making it less suitable for warehouses with high turnover rates or a need for selective access to individual pallets.
Drive In Pallet Rack
Drive in racking creates a cost-effective, high density storage system that allows storage of pallets multiple positions deep, reducing the space required for aisles. Pallets are loaded onto horizontal rails. Drivers then remove the pallets from the same entry point at which they were loaded.
Overview of Drive In Pallet Racking
Drive in pallet rack solutions provide the greatest storage density of any engineered pallet storage system. By eliminating aisles, drive-in pallet racking systems are able to maximize warehouse storage space. In fact, a drive-in rack system can increase pallet storage by as much as 60%. Drive in rack systems most often appear in warehouses with FILO (first in, last out) inventory rotations. In warehouses storing like-product and items that aren’t time sensitive, drive in rack systems are valued for their ability to produce peak storage.
Drive-in racking also goes by the name of “high density storage.”
Advantages of Drive In Pallet Racks:
- Accommodate virtually unlimited depth of storage.
- Deliver maximum storage density.
- Minimize the number of warehouse aisles.
- Prioritizes density over selectivity.
- Highly cost effective.
