Product Details
Drive-in rack
A high-density storage system designed for high-volume, low-variety goods. It uses a continuous racking structure, allowing forklifts to operate directly in the aisle, achieving a space utilization rate of over 70%. Deep storage: a single aisle supports continuous storage of 4-10 pallet positions; cost-effective and efficient: increases storage capacity by 50% compared to ordinary shelves; stable and reliable: reinforced column design, single-layer load capacity of 1-3 tons.

I. Product Introduction:
Drive-in racking, also known as drive-through racking or through-lane racking, consists of upright frames, beams, beam supports, top beams, connecting top pulls, and back pulls. This type of racking is suitable for storage modes with relatively few varieties and full-in/full-out operations. Because only the main aisle is arranged, forklifts can drive into the storage area, resulting in extremely high warehouse utilization. It is widely used in low-temperature cold chain logistics, beverages, food, dairy products, and other fields. The layout can be one-way or two-way. Generally, one-way layouts should not exceed 10 deep positions. Forklift guidance rails can be set up in narrower aisles. The load capacity of each layer of drive-in racking should not exceed 1500kg/position. Handling methods include using reach trucks or counterbalance trucks, or electric pallet trucks.
II. Structural Features:
Warehouse racking and drive-in racking both adopt a multi-door structure where the rack frames are connected using a lattice-type column continuation method. Pallet unit goods are stored one after another in the depth direction on cantilever beams. This racking structure allows the forklift operating aisle and the goods storage space to be shared, greatly improving the utilization of warehouse space and floor area. However, the goods in the same operating aisle cannot be handled on a FIFO basis. It is suitable for large quantities, few varieties, or goods in the operating aisle flowing to the same customer, such as beverages, dairy products, tobacco, low-temperature cold storage, standard household appliances, chemicals, clothing, etc. Statistics show that drive-in racking can achieve the highest storage density, with space utilization up to 90% and floor area utilization exceeding 60%!
III. Advantages of Drive-in Racking:
1. The goods storage aisle is also the forklift transport aisle, making it a high-density storage racking system.
2. It is usually used for storing goods with few varieties but large quantities, and low picking requirements.
3. Based on the lifting height of a standard forklift and a conventional three-layer design for drive-in racking, the effective storage capacity of the warehouse can be increased by over 100%, while controlling investment costs and significantly improving efficiency. From the perspective of overall storage costs, the increased storage capacity benefits generally offset the investment costs within three years.
4. Goods follow the LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) principle and are suitable for most material handling equipment.
