Drive in Racking

What is Drive-in Pallet Racking?

Drive-in Racking is designed to maximize floor capacity and works on the principle of bulk stacking, but instead of stacking products on top of products, the pallets are stored on drive-in rails. Beams can be placed at any height and the racks can be configured to hold unit loads in almost any form or configuration. Racks can be redesigned and reconfigured at any time in the future and are simple to install and move if necessary. The high usage of adjustable pallet racking worldwide has led to the development of a large range of accessories and ancillary products for even more flexibility

Why is Drive-in Pallet Racking?

As a form of bulk stacking you can achieve a saving of up to 85% in cubic space compared to conventional pallet racking. Drive-in racking is therefore an ideal solution when high density storage is required. 

Drive-in pallet racking works on the principle of first in, then out (FILO). A forklift truck lifts the palletized goods to the required height, then the forklift truck enters the storage aisle and places the pallet at the furthest point. This process is repeated until the storage aisle is filled. Loading pallets in this way means that individual pallets cannot go straight in but have to be unloaded one by one from the front of the rack. Stock rotation is limited, so the system is best suited for storing seasonal goods or large quantities of the same type of goods.

Features of Drive-in Pallet Racking

• High density storage - maximising cubic space

• More pallets stored per cubic meter than any other storage system

• Limited stock rotation - particularly suitable for seasonal goods

• Ideal for cold and chill storage applications

• Accessible by the First-In, Last-Out principle

• Used for bulk goods of the same type
