Drive-in Rack
Drive-in racking eliminates the forklift working aisle between racks, maximizing the use of horizontal and vertical space. Forklifts enter the drive-in racking lanes to store and retrieve pallets. This system is ideal for scenarios where space utilization is critical and for storing large quantities of homogeneous goods.
The pallets are placed on two rails in the lane, ensuring secure storage and orderly selection for retrieval. There are two basic types of racks: Drive-In Racking and Drive-Through Racking.
-
Drive-In Racking: Forklifts can only enter from one side of the racking lane, and the last pallet stored is the first to be removed. This design is ideal for low-turnover materials.
-
Drive-Through Racking: Forklifts can access the racking lane from both ends (front and back), allowing the first pallet stored to be the first to be removed. This type is suitable for high-turnover storage.
Since forklifts operate inside the racking lanes, the design must include features to prevent damage, such as guide rails to protect the upright columns and guide the forklifts. Additionally, vibrant colors for the structure enhance visibility, helping operators quickly and accurately store and retrieve pallets.
1
Space Efficiency
Maximizes floor and vertical space usage by eliminating unnecessary operational aisles, ensuring optimal storage density while reducing costs, especially in temperature-controlled environments like cold storage facilities.
2
Versatile Storage
Offers flexibility for expansion and supports FIFO/LIFO storage methods, making it perfect for managing seasonal products, small quantities, and a wide variety of goods efficiently.
3
Safe and Stable
Ensures the secure and stable storage of pressure-sensitive goods with robust structural design, making it suitable for delicate and high-value inventory.
