Compared to traditional pallet racking systems, drive in pallet racking highly enhances storage space utilization by eliminating storing or picking aisles. This is done by allowing for safe block stacking of goods that may be too unstable or fragile to be stacked on top of each other. The last-in, first-out principle is applied when loading and unloading items in the racking system which is suitable for the stock rotation unless a drive-through system is incorporated, which allows pallets to be loaded or unloaded from either side.
Our drive in pallet racking is a popular storage system which majorly uses the warehouses and the central distribution space for maximized space utilization. This racking offers several advantages for many businesses.
The drive in pallet racks have the ability to expand the storage density. It eliminates the aisles between racks and assists for a larger number of pallets to be stored in the existing space which is not possible with traditional racking systems. The drive in racking is beneficial for warehouses that have limited storage & floor space and seeking to optimize storage capacity without expanding or changing the facility. It also reduces the need for additional storage equipment.
Our drive in racking has improved efficiency in both the ways of storing the goods & retrieving them from the racks. The forklifts can go directly into the structure of racks to store or retrieve the materials so there is no maneuvering required when compared to traditional racking. It also reduces the time & effort needed for the loading & unloading process which leads to higher productivity. Additionally, the Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) assists with efficient stock rotation.
Drive in pallet racking is specifically constructed to store huge quantities of products on multiple pallets. This racking system is ideal for applications where forklift access is required at all times because it can come to the rack structure directly, as the stored pallets must be accessible from above. The spaces between the pallets are limited so there is minimal room for other materials or containers.
Although drive in racking is majorly used in palletized storage, it can be used to store other types of goods that can be lifted by a forklift including plastic drums or metal kegs. Compared to other storage systems, the drive in racking system requires less labor to load and unload products. On average, it requires only a single person to operate the racks, while traditional pallet racks typically require two.
It provides high-density storage capacity to the warehouse and gives the access lanes pick-to-light racking. Makes it easy to locate and pick pallets. The access lanes are placed perpendicular to the backplane of the structure which is parallel to the entry/exit aisles. It allows forklifts to enter and exit the rack while carrying pallet loads directly, move between bays on the same level and at right angles to the aisle. It is making the loading and unloading of pallets fast and easy.
