Drive
In Rack for High-Density, Forklift Accessible
Storage
Drive
in rack is a style of pallet rack that allows
you to have fewer aisles and more storage density.
Some estimates show that drive in rack provides
up to 75 percent more storage space than other
types of pallet rack. With drive in rack, a forklift
is able drive straight into the rack and pick
up a pallet. Drive in rack is best suited for
inventories with a high turnaround because drive
in rack provides for “last in, first out”
pallet placement.
Another
consideration for drive in rack is durability.
Since forklifts drive directly into the racking
structure, there is a greater possibility of damage
if the forklift hits the drive in rack. Therefore,
drive in rack typically has a heavy-duty construction
with channel-type (four-sided) uprights and beams.
To increase efficiency and selectivity, drive
in rack can be configured for single-sided or
double-sided entry.
