Drive-In Rack is a very dense storage configuration which can be
an efficient storage method, as long as the system utilization is high. This
means that the product mix stored must be such that it is possible to keep the
rack highly loaded. Since all the front loads in an entire bay of drive-in must
be unloaded in order to get to the next deepest loads, and so on, Drive-In is
best used in operations which store reasonable volumes of like product. The
trucks 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 one out. Depth can range from 2 pallets deep to 20 deep.
-
High density storage - maximising cubic space -
economical with greater number of pallets stored per cubic metre than other
storage systems
-
Low stock rotation - suitable for seasonal goods and
fluctuating stock demand
-
Ideal for cold and bulk storage application
-
Suitable for easily damaged or fragile loads, which cannot be
block stacked |
