drive in rack

Drive-in racking is designed for the storage of
homogenous products. It accommodates a large number
of pallets for each stock keeping-unit. This system
makes better use of the available surface and height
space than any other.

The installation is made up of a set of racking
units that form inner loading aisles, with support
rails for the pallets. The fork-lift trucks enter
these inner aisles with their load held higher than
the level at which it is to be deposited.

Each loading aisle has support rails on both sides.
These are arranged on different levels and the
pallets are placed on top. This racking system is
made of extremely robust material, thus making it
suitable for storing fully-loaded pallets.

The drive-in system can accommodate as many stock keeping-unit as there are loading aisles. The number
of pallets will depend on the depth and height of the loading aisles.
It is advisable to store products with the same stock keeping-unit in each loading aisle, in order to
Avoid unnecessary pallet manoeuvres. The depth of each aisle will depend on the number of pallets per
stock keeping-unit, the space available and the length of time they will be stored.
As shown in the following illustrations, the drive-in system has a greater storage capacity than the
Conventional pallet racking system. The illustrations show one facility with three different distributions and capacities.
