With the double deep pallet racking system, you effectively increase your storage space by twice the pallet depth (compared to just one with the basic adjustable pallet racking). What’s great about double deep pallet racking is that the two pallets can be accessed from the same aisle–which means you are able to cut down the number of required aisles by half and instantly upsize your limited storage capacity. If your warehouse does not stock perishable goods, a double deep pallet racking system will do wonders in balancing accessibility with a much-needed boost in your overall warehouse storage density. 

Frequently Asked Questions – Double Deep Pallet Racking

  1. How does a double deep pallet racking system work?

Answer 1: The double deep pallet racking enables you to stock two pallets and then access them from the same aisle. Direct access in the double deep pallet racking system is for the front unit load only–which means 50 percent restricted access to the load behind it. This is what its application beautifully catered to stocking identical or homogeneous goods. Additionally, the LIFO (Last in, First out) stock management principle works in tandem with the double deep pallet racking system. Special forklift attachments (telescopic forks) are to be used hand in hand with the double deep pallet rack. Forklifts move along the aisle parallel to the racking system and efficiently take the front load pallet that is directly accessible. And, if necessary, a pantograph mechanism for the forklift is needed to properly access the pallet behind the front load. 

  1. What are the benefits of a double deep pallet racking system?

Answer 2: The key advantages of the double deep pallet racking include, among many others, immense flexibility towards any load types, ease of assembly, disassembly, and parts replacement, quick stock rotation, and ready customization options to fit ever-changing storage needs and demands. It is also extremely safe, sporting sturdy and strong galvanized support posts, braces, and frames. Its built-in safety elements include reinforced frames and protectors, meshes to prevent falls, and backstops against accidental pallet sliding.
