Drive-in/drive-through racking system: perfect for warehouses with homogeneous goods and a large number of pallets per SKU
Drive-in racking is the simplest and most affordable high-density storage method. It is comprised of multiple racks with a series of lanes accessed by forklifts to deposit or retrieve pallets. Compared to conventional pallet racking, this solution notably increases storage capacity.
These racks can have two configurations: drive-in (pallets are loaded and unloaded from the same working aisle) or drive-through (pallets are loaded through the front aisle and unloaded through the rear aisle).
Advantages of a drive-in/drive-through racking system
• Maximum utilisation of space: it makes excellent use of both the available surface area and height, thus increasing storage capacity compared to conventional pallet racking.
• Simple and economical: it’s the simplest high-density storage system and requires the lowest investment.
• Configurable: the depth and height of this racking can be adapted to the needs of each customer and to the characteristics of the goods handled.
• One or two aisles: this solution can be used with just one aisle (loading and unloading from the front) or with two (loading in the front, unloading from the back).
• Guiding elements: Mecalux drive-in racks incorporate accessories that facilitate forklift movements and correct pallet positioning.
• Energy savings: the smaller footprint reduces the surface area to be cooled in cold storage and freezer warehouses.
• Easy inventory management: each lane stores a single SKU, streamlining stock control.
