Drive-Through Racking System
Products Description
The Drive-Through Racking System is a high-density storage solution that maximizes available space and vertical height in your warehouse by minimizing forklift aisles. Designed for applications where large volumes of homogeneous goods are stored, this system supports efficient loading and retrieval using forklifts or unmanned transport vehicles.
Features & Benefits
✔ Significantly higher storage space utilization (often over 30%) compared to standard pallet racks.
✔ Supports drive-in or drive-through access for bulk storage; forklifts can enter racking lanes directly.
✔ Guide rails can be added to ensure safe, accurate vehicle movement within the rack.
✔ Built for strength and durability: integral stamping/rolling components, robust bracket and beam construction.
✔ Ideal for industries such as cold storage, food & beverage, tobacco, where large quantities of similar items are stored.
Shelf Composition
This system is composed of the following components:
Configuration Suggestions
To get optimal performance:
- Keep single-sided retrieval depth ≤ 7 pallets to maintain efficient forklift access.
- For double access (drive-through), maximum depth can extend, but maintain visibility and safety.
- Overall rack height generally recommended to be under ~10 m; if higher, use reinforcement structures.
Applications
Drive-Through Racking is commonly used in:
- Cold storage / freezing facilities
- Food & beverage warehouses
- Tobacco storage
- Wholesale and bulk goods storage with low SKU variety
FAQ
Q: What is the difference between Drive-In and Drive-Through Rack?
A: Drive-In racks allow forklifts to enter from one side only (LIFO), while drive-through racks allow entry/exit from both sides (FIFO), improving material flow but requiring access on both sides.
Q: How deep should rack lanes be?
A: Typically, no more than 7 pallet depths for single-sided access. For through-type (dual access), depths can be greater, but visibility, safety, and lift time must be considered.
Q: How to ensure safety with high racks?
A: Limit rack height to under ~10 meters where possible, install reinforcement (top cross beams, diagonal braces), ensure floor flatness, and train operators properly.
