Product Details
Drive-in racking
A deep storage solution designed for high-volume, single-SKU items. It uses a continuous pallet location design, enabling pass-through access within the racking system, achieving a space utilization rate of over 75%. Compatible with forklift operation, it supports First-In, First-Out (FIFO) or Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) management, with a single channel depth of more than 10 locations.

I. Drive-in Rack Introduction:
Drive-in racks, also known as drive-through racks or shuttle racks. Forklifts (or unmanned handling vehicles with forks) can drive into the aisles to access goods, suitable for storing goods with few varieties and large quantities. Except for the positions near the aisle, since forklifts need to enter the rack to access goods, single-sided access is generally recommended to not exceed 7 positions in depth. To improve forklift operating speed, guide rails can be configured as needed. Compared to pallet racks, drive-in racks can improve warehouse space utilization by more than 30%. Drive-in racks are widely used in wholesale, cold storage, food, and tobacco industries.
II. Structural Advantages of Drive-in Racks:
1. Pallets are stored in the depth direction on the support rails, one after another, enabling high-density storage.
2. Goods are accessed from the same side of the rack, first in, last out; last in, first out. Counterbalance and reach trucks can easily drive into the rack to access goods without occupying multiple aisles.
3. This type of rack is suitable for storing large quantities of a few types of items. The uprights and shelves of drive-in racks are made using integral stamping/rolling technology, resulting in strong load-bearing capacity and an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
4. Drive-in racks have a fully-interlocking assembly structure, with column pieces being assembled. The total depth of racks in the wall area is generally best controlled to within 5 pallet depths, while the total depth of racks in the middle area that can be accessed from both sides is generally best controlled to within 10 pallet depths, to improve forklift access efficiency and reliability.
Note:
The stability of drive-in rack systems is relatively weak among all types of racks. Therefore, racks should not be too high, generally within 10m, and additional bracing devices are also needed in the system. This type of system has densely arranged racks, extremely high space utilization, and is suitable for storing large quantities of the same type of goods with few varieties. Goods can be stored and retrieved from the same side, or stored on one side and retrieved from the other.
III. Applications of Drive-in Racks:
Drive-in racks are a continuous, integral rack system without aisle separation. Drive-in racks use a pallet access method and are suitable for storing large quantities of a single type of goods. Compared to pallet racks, warehouse utilization can reach about 80%, and warehouse space utilization can be improved by more than 30%, making it a highly efficient storage rack. On the support rails, pallets are stored in the depth direction, one after another. The investment cost is relatively low, suitable for goods with larger horizontal dimensions, fewer varieties, and larger quantities, often used to store large batches of the same type of goods. Due to its high storage density and high ground space utilization, it is often used in cold storage, food, and tobacco warehouses with higher storage space costs.
