Distribution Center Drive In Pallet Rack , High Density Racking System

Quick Details:

Description:

Drive-In Rack optimizing available space. Elimination of aisles between shelves. Admits as many references as load lanes. Appropriate system to store homogeneous, low-rotation products with a large number of pallets per reference.

This system is base on the storage by accumulation principle, which enables the highest use of available space in terms of both area and height. Drive-in racking is designed for the storage of homogeneous products. It accommodates a large number of pallets.

Drive-In Rack and Drive-Thru racking are terms that are often used interchangeably. In some environments it can be difficult to differentiate between the two. Typically, Drive-In racking requires operators to drive into the racking system from one side and remove pallets from the same entry point. Some Drive-In rack systems have a wall or are otherwise closed at the opposite end.

Drive-In & Drive-Through Racks offer the ability to store a large amount of similar loads in a smaller area. Selectivity is sacrificed, but storage density is outstanding. Drive In Racking can store up to 75% more pallets in the same space than selective racking -- depending on your application. It requires fewer aisles and is better cubic storage.

A simple way to identify a Drive-In Rack Systems is its LIFO inventory management. Product is rotated in a Last-In, First-Out inventory manner because of the single entry/exit point.

The draw to a Drive-In rack system is its extremely efficient storage concentration. Pallets are stored back-to-back without aisles for exceptionally dense storage. This style system is an excellent solution for product that is not time or date sensitive, or for fast moving pallets that are rotated frequently.

Drive-In rack operators must be very careful not to damage the pallet racking. Because pallets are stored so densely and a driver must enter the pallet racking system with only a small clearance on either side, a Drive-In rack system must be checked for damage frequently. As soon as pallet rack damage is noticed it must be reported and properly repaired or replaced. A strict safety doctrine must be adhered to with a Drive-In rack system.
