Heavy Duty Drive In Pallet Shelving Storage Racks

With a drive-in pallet rack design, the forklift enters the rack from one side to pick up or pull out a pallet, and the pallet slides backward on the continuous guide rail. The forklift must drive into the rack to access pallets stored two or more deep.

(The drive-in rack will be closed at one end of the rack, while the straight-through rack allows forklift operators to see through the entire rack system.) Pallets are stored back-to-back, which makes the storage incredibly dense.

Although selectivity may be compromised, it requires fewer channels and offers better cube storage. Since fewer aisles are needed, drive-in racks enable you to store up to 75% more product compared to selective racks.

Drive-in pallet racks store pallets on rails in two, three, four, or more deep configurations at various height levels. They are typically used for fast-moving products, as the first pallet loaded into a lane is the last one to be retrieved. This type of racking system allows for the storage of 75% more pallets than selective pallet racks, thereby reducing costs related to materials, installation, labor, and more.
