Drive-In Racking

Sometimes is also referred to as “Drive Thru” is a storage method that increases storage density and is extremely efficiently because of the storage concentration of pallets. Warehouses with large production runs benefit the most from these racking systems. Product is rotated in a last in, first out (FILO) inventory method. Individual pallets cannot be accessed directly, but one by one from the entry point of the rack. These racking systems have a single entry and exit point. Pallets are stored on rails in lanes several pallets deep. Distribution Centers benefit the most from drive in racking systems because it is an excellent solution for product that is not time or date sensitive. This eliminates the need for loading and picking aisles.

Requiring fewer aisles than selective rack, this racking allows you to store up to 75% more pallets. In some cases, the existing space can be used up to 90% more effectively than with conventional pallet storage systems. Because pallets are stored so densely, forklift operators must enter with only a small clearance on either side. As a result, the racking must be checked for damage frequently. If there is any damage at the entry point, a Rack Avenger Rack Repair Kit may be utilized to protect the racking of any future damage. There are several varieties so please call us so that we may supply you with your needs.
