What Is Drive-in Pallet Racking?

Drive-in pallet racking is a compact and specialist type of racking system that makes optimal use of available space by restricting access to pallets from a single aisle.

As the name suggests, drive-in pallet racking systems are designed for use with conventional forklift trucks, which can access goods in each channel as opposed to having an operating aisle.

They are ideal for operations where a single product with a long shelf life is being stocked in bulk such as cold storage, freezer or season goods applications.

Note that where larger pallet quantities are required, a shuttle racking system may be a better choice.

Benefits of Drive-In Racking Systems

Drive-in storage racking offers a wide range of benefits including:

• Can double the amount of storage space available, with more density than any other storage system
• Ideal for bulk storage of a single product, but multiple SKUs allow for as many types of products as there are lanes in the system
• Each pallet is supported individually and so less prone to damage
• Forklifts access goods through storage channels, eliminating the need for operating aisles
• Drive-in systems are generally very robust and low maintenance
