Maximizing space and maintaining order in your distribution center is crucial. That’s why our drive-in rack systems are designed to make the most of available space, boosting inventory efficiency for high-turnover products or light loads.
Unlike selective racking, which offers direct access to each pallet, the drive-in/drive-through system prioritizes density and performance in tight spaces, providing a more compact and strategic solution when warehouse optimization is the priority.
Drive-in racks are a compact system designed to maximize your space by creating internal aisles where goods are stored in depth. Their design allows you to store more in a smaller area, keeping things organized and making inventory control easier.
It operates on the principle of bulk storage. Forklifts enter the racking from one end to place or retrieve pallets, following the LIFO (last in, first out) method. This method is useful for non-perishable or slow-moving products. In the case of drive-through racking, the FIFO (first-in, first-out) system is used, which allows access from both ends of the structure.
Each feature addresses a real operational need in North American industrial warehouses.
By reducing the number of aisles, vertical and horizontal storage capacity is maximized.
Less space required in the aisle means lower infrastructure and maintenance costs.
Ideal for homogeneous products, as it allows for the storage of large volumes of similar goods.
Adaptable to various warehouse configurations and product types.
Each aisle can be dedicated to a specific product, which improves management and control.
It can be integrated with other storage systems such as push-back racking or pallet shuttle.
Each component is essential to ensuring optimal effectiveness:
It helps align and secure the pallets in place.
Prevents pallets from slipping or falling.
Improve inventory organization and management.
They help ensure that pallets are placed correctly and reduce the risk of damage.
Protects the structure from potential impacts by forklifts.
