Industrial Drive-In | Drive-Thru racks are high-density storage solutions designed to optimize warehouse storage space, both horizontally and vertically. They consist of a set of shelves forming internal loading aisles for each product, with support rails for pallets, enabling better stock control.
Drive-In | Drive-Thru racks operate on the accumulation storage principle. Forklifts enter the shelves from one end to place or retrieve pallets, following the LIFO method (last in, first out). This method is especially useful for non-perishable or low-turnover products. In the case of Drive-Thru racks, the FIFO system (first in, first out) is used, allowing access from both ends of the structure.
Drive-In and Drive-Thru racking systems provide high-density storage and efficient inventory management, making them ideal for warehouses handling large-volume products. These systems are widely used in cold storage facilities, manufacturing plants, food distribution centers, and warehouses requiring high-density bulk storage. Here are their key benefits:
Deep-lane storage eliminates excess aisles, optimizing vertical and horizontal space
Ideal for homogeneous products, allowing large quantities of similar SKUs to be stored in designated lanes.
Each aisle can be dedicated to a specific SKU, streamlining stock management and retrieval.
Adaptable to various storage needs, supporting both FIFO (First In, First Out) and LIFO (Last In, First Out) inventory systems.
Forklifts can enter storage lanes, minimizing unnecessary movement and speeding up pallet retrieval.
Fewer aisles lead to greater storage efficiency while maximizing warehouse footprint.
Lower infrastructure and maintenance expenses due to compact design and reduced handling requirements.
