Drive In Pallet Racking is ideal when high density storage is required. It is frequently used in facilities with a low number of product lines.
Pallets are stored in a block system with two blocks generally served by one operating aisle. Forklifts drive into the racking to load or retrieve pallets, which are stored on cantilevered rails running throughout the system. The first pallet in is the last pallet out, unless a drive through system is used whereby pallets can be loaded or retrieved from either side. Forklifts drive into lanes on racking specially designed to provide support to the pallet along the pallet sides.
Stacking often up to 10 metres high and up to 10 pallets deep (more often 4 OR 5 deep). This system provides very dense storage capacity, often low in access and rotation of products.

The compact accumulative storage system makes optimum use of available space in terms of both area and height.
It is the ideal system for storing large quantities of homogeneous products with fewer product types.
Forklifts enter into the storage lanes of drive-in racking to deposit and extract pallets, which means that operating aisles are eliminated, saving a great deal of space.
This type of installation is made up of a set of racking units that form innter loading aisles, with support rails for the pallets. The forklift trucks enter these inner aisles with their load held higher than the level at which it is to be deposited.
The trucks drive into the racking to load or unload goods, retrieve pallets, which are stored on cantilevered rails running through out the system. The First pallet in is the last one out FILO(First in, Last Out) system, unless a Drive Through system is used whereby pallets can be loaded or retrieved from either side.
The forklift trucks drive in the tracks on the shelves specially designed to support the pallet along the pallet sides.Stacking often up to 10 meters high and 4 or 5, but sometimes more than 10 deep.
This system can provide a very dense storage capacity, often low in access and rotation of products. As the truck enters the shelves, special precautions apply to ensure design compatibility between truck, pallet and load the racks.
