Drive-In/Drive-Thru Racking

Drive-in/drive-thru pallet rack systems are tailored for storing large and heavy pallets with minimal product variation. These systems minimize square footage requirements and offer both last in, first out (LIFO), and first in, first out (FIFO) load methods to suit diverse storage needs.

Benefits of Drive-In/Drive-Thru Pallet Rack Systems

High-Density Storage: Optimize storage space for low-rotation products, storing up to 75% more pallets compared to conventional selective racks.

Cost Savings: Reduce storage space costs by maximizing storage density.

Efficient Storage: Drive-In/Drive-Thru rack systems eliminate aisles, allowing for multiple pallets deep storage rows, enhancing storage efficiency.

Drive-In Pallet Rack Systems

Drive-in pallet rack systems enable lift equipment to access stacked rows directly, allowing for the storage and retrieval of pallets. Utilizing a Last In, First Out (LIFO) method, goods are stored several pallets deep, making efficient use of tight storage spaces for non-perishable goods.

Drive-Thru Pallet Rack Systems
Similar to Drive-In systems, Drive-Thru pallet rack systems facilitate lift equipment entry from both ends of the bay. This permits access to goods in a First In, First Out (FIFO) configuration, making them suitable for items with a shelf-life while providing space efficiency akin to Drive-In systems.
