Drive In Or Drive Through Racking System
Drive In Or Drive Through Racking System
Drive-in racking systems are a type of high-density storage solution commonly used in warehouses and distribution centers. They are designed to maximize storage space by reducing the number of aisles needed in a warehouse. Here are some key features and benefits of drive-in racking systems:
Features
1. High Density Storage
Allows for maximum use of available space, making it ideal for cold storage, bulk storage, and any application where storage space is at a premium.
2. First In, Last Out (FILO) System
Operates on the FILO principle, meaning that the last pallet stored is the first one to be removed. This is suitable for products that are not time-sensitive.
3. Reduced Aisle Space
The design eliminates the need for multiple aisles, increasing the amount of usable storage space.
4. Suitable for Homogeneous Products
Best for storing a large number of pallets of the same product, as the system doesn’t allow for easy access to all pallets.
5. Requires Specific Forklifts
Forklifts must be able to operate within the rack structure, so narrow-aisle or specially designed forklifts are often used.
