Drive-In Racking: Maximize Your Warehouse Space and Efficiency

Drive-in racking is the ultimate solution for high-density storage, perfect for businesses with a high volume of similar products and a limited warehouse footprint. This system significantly increases storage capacity compared to traditional pallet racking, making it ideal for applications like frozen food storage, archives, and bulk goods distribution.

How it Works:

Drive-in racking consists of a series of upright frames with deep horizontal beams extending inwards. Forklift trucks drive directly into the aisles between the racking units to access the pallets. Pallets are loaded and unloaded on a first-in, last-out (FIFO) basis. This design eliminates the need for aisle space between racking bays, maximizing storage density and minimizing wasted space.

Key Features and Benefits:

• High-Density Storage: Achieve significantly higher storage capacity per square foot compared to traditional pallet racking, leading to substantial cost savings on warehouse space.
• Efficient Space Utilization: Eliminate aisle space between racking units, maximizing the use of available floor area.
• Ideal for High-Volume, Similar Products: Best suited for businesses storing large quantities of the same or similar products, simplifying inventory management.
• Improved Workflow: Reduces travel time for forklift operators, increasing operational efficiency and productivity.
• Versatile Design: Available in various configurations to accommodate different pallet sizes and weights.
• Durable Construction: Built with high-strength steel to ensure long-term durability and stability, even under heavy loads.
• Customization Options: We offer customized solutions to meet specific warehouse needs and dimensions.
• Improved Stock Control: While FIFO is standard, LIFO capabilities can be achieved with specific designs and implementation strategies

Specifications (Variable based on customization):

• Upright Frame Material: High-tensile steel
• Beam Material: Heavy-duty steel
• Load Capacity: Varies depending on configuration (e.g., 2,000 lbs, 5,000 lbs per pallet position, etc. - specify during quote)
• Beam Depth: Adjustable to accommodate different pallet sizes
• Aisle Width: Determined by forklift type and maneuverability. Narrower aisles than conventional racking are possible, reducing space needed.
