Drive-in racking offers the highest possible densities of pallet
storage, with the lowest selectivity. Consequently, it is
ideal for fast moving product which moves on a "pallet-in
pallet-out basis."
Drive-in racking is a series of tunnels with rails on either side
to hold the pallet. Lift trucks can drive into any given
tunnel to retrieve or put away pallets.
The trucks drive into the racking to load or retrieve pallets,
which are stored on cantilevered rails running throughout the
system.
Drive-Through system is used whereForklift trucks drive into lanes
on racking specially built to provide support to the pallet along
the pallet sides. This system can provide a very dense storage
capacity, often low in access and rotation of products. As
the truck enters the racking, special precautions apply to ensure
the compatibility of design between the truck, pallet, load and the
racking. Flat floors are advantageous.Usually the rack design
incorporates a stability structure at the rear of the rack and
therefore drive in indicates single access from one side. Drive
through requires this same stability to be provided by a variation
in design.by pallets can be loaded or retrieved from either side.
