How does a drive-in pallet racking system work?

A drive-in racking system works the following way

  1. The system allows you to store a greater number of pallets. 
  2. It permits you to scale up your operation, taking in more inventory, without having to lease or purchase more warehouse space
  3. Pallets are placed on a static parallel structure consisting of rails instead of carts and wheels. One on top of the other.
  4. These pallets remain stationary in a set of stand-by patterns until they are removed and relocated by the forklift.

Types of drive-in racking systems

  1. Single entry: forklift access is granted on one side. This is the standard drive-in racking system configuration — most widely used in the food and beverage industry since it is ideal for coolers and large freezers. 
  2. Double-entry: forklift access on both sides of racking — this system was designed to allow quick access to pallets from the rear.
