A drive-in pallet racking system is best for warehouses and distribution facilities that store goods whose shelf life is not a main priority. It flawlessly maximizes space by stacking loads in such a way that a forklift can load the pallets on one side and then unload it from the same side. Unlike the double deep pallet rack and basic adjustable pallet rack, a cost-effective multi-deep pallet storage is possible through a drive-in pallet rack. A drive-in pallet rack is engineered precisely to accommodate one pallet dimension, which normally measures 40 inches, and typically sets the vertical pallet guide angles 42 inches apart. Its pallet guide rails are usually three inches wide.
Frequently Asked Questions – Drive-in Pallet Racking System
- How does a drive-in pallet racking system work?
Answer 1: The drive-in pallet racking system consists of upright supports, upright frames, rails, beams, arms, and row spacers. These components are assembled to create cubed space utilization units that come with internal lanes and stable rails where the pallets are supported and stored. A forklift moves inside these lanes, loading and unloading pallets. Loading and unloading happens on one side of the drive-in pallet rack which makes it compatible with the Last-In First-Out (LIFO) system of retrieval and organization.
- What are the benefits of a drive-in pallet racking system?
Answer 2: The key advantages of the drive-in pallet racking include, among many others, ready customization to accommodate a variety of load types and storage needs, ease of assembly, disassembly, and parts replacement, as well as good compatibility with cold-storage environments such as warehouse freezer facilities. The drive-in pallet rack is also extremely safe. It is prone to forklift collisions because of its tight assembly but widening the internal lanes can address the problem and make the high-density racking system safer. All in all, the drive-in pallet racking system is an assembly that efficiently increases storage capacity and is safe for dense and deep horizontal access and vertical stacking of loads.
