RACKING
Drive-in or drive-through racking is ideal if you require a cost-effective bulk storage system with minimal risk of damage to your products. It utilises space effectively and reduces costs by using standard forklifts, which can be used efficiently driving in and out of the lanes.
If making the most of storage capacity is a major requirement of your warehouse, drive-in pallet racking allows you to optimise the space of your warehouse. Through eliminating aisles and lanes, drive-in racking utilises space at the price of selectivity. This is ideal for batch despatches as the first pallet into the lane will be the last pallet out. Each pallet is supported to ensure damage from crushing is eliminated.
Drive-In racks allow a lift truck to enter from one side to load or unload. This is possible because the pallets are loaded onto a manoeuvrable rail, which allows the last pallet loaded to be slid backwards with the induction of a new pallet. However when a new pallet is loaded you lose accessibility to the previous pallet, creating the last in, first out arrangement.
Racking heights of up to 11 metres allow full height and floor area to be put to use.
For perishable goods that must be kept frozen or refrigerated, the space utilisation of drive in racking significantly reduces overheads.
