Maximise Your Storage Space With Drive-In Racking 

Drive-in racking is a high-density storage system that uses the FILO (first in, last out) principle to maximise pallet storage capacity.

We offer comprehensive services for drive-in pallet racking systems, including design, supply, installation, racking inspections, repairs and maintenance.

What Is Drive-in Pallet Racking?

Drive-in pallet racking is a specialised, compact storage solution that optimises space by allowing access to pallets from a single aisle. Designed for use with conventional forklifts, these systems enable forklifts to access goods in each channel without the need for an operating aisle. They are ideal for bulk storage of single products with long shelf lives, such as in cold storage, freezers, or seasonal goods applications. For larger pallet quantities, a shuttle-racking system might be more suitable.

Benefits of Drive-In Racking Systems

Drive-in racking systems provide a host of benefits that make them a popular choice for optimising storage space. These benefits include:

• Maximised Storage Space: Drive-in pallet racking systems can double the amount of storage space available.

• Ideal for Bulk Storage: They are ideal for storing a single product type in bulk. However, if configured with multiple lanes, they can also accommodate various product types.

• Individual Pallet Support: Each pallet is supported individually, reducing the risk of damage during storage and retrieval.

• Eliminates Operating Aisles: These systems eliminate the need for operating aisles, as forklifts access goods through storage channels, making them highly efficient in terms of space utilisation.

• Robust and Low Maintenance: Drive-in systems are robust and require minimal maintenance.

Drawbacks to Consider

While drive-in racking systems are highly efficient in maximising space, they do have some drawbacks:

• Slow Stock Rotation: The FILO principle can slow down stock rotation and reduce pallet accessibility.

• Equipment Compatibility: You may need to invest in new forklifts compatible with the system.
