Drive-In Racking
“Drive-in racking” is a special system where racks are arranged side by side and interconnected, offering high storage efficiency, and is suitable for the storage of goods with few varieties but large quantities. This racking system allows a stacker to drive into the rack to access goods, but its structural stability is weaker, so the racks should not be too high, usually controlled within 10 meters. It is suitable for industries with high storage space costs, as the storage cost is relatively low.
Features
-
Forklifts share the aisle with goods for access, achieving high site utilization.
-
Goods are stocked from the inside out and picked from the outside in, following a first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
-
Site utilization is based on 60%, with the effective space utilization rate increasing by over 400%.
-
Ideal for periodic bulk operations and warehouses with low frequency of material access, such as raw material or operational warehouses.
-
Since forklifts must drive into the aisle, the rack structure is less stable, and the design height should not be too high.
