DRIVE-IN PALLET RACK
Drive-In Pallet Racks: The LIFO Solution
Drive-In racking systems typically utilize a LIFO inventory system. Drive-Thru Rack Systems load from one side and unload from the other for FIFO inventory retrieval. Both terms are often used interchangeably.
Drive-In Pallet Racks are another high density solution. A forklift drives into the system and deposits pallets on rails that run the depth of the system. These systems significantly reduce the number of aisles needed, freeing up valuable floor space. This Drive-In Pallet Rack System is ideal for storing SKUs or pallets of similar sizes. Structural Pallet Rack is typically required for Drive-In racking systems due to the nature of the system and the close proximity of fork lifts to the frames.
While standard selective pallet rack is an excellent solution for many warehouses, if your warehouse has a large volumes of like-product with a large number of pallets – drive in pallet rack may be the ideal storage solution for you. There are a number of advantages.

- Eliminates the need for numerous aisles.
- Favors high-density storage rather than the selectivity of selective pallet rack.

Is Drive-In/Drive-Thru Racking Right for You?
Consider Drive-In and Drive-Through racking systems if your warehouse manages a large quantity of uniform products. These systems are particularly advantageous for items that don't require immediate pick access. They're also an excellent choice for use in temperature-controlled environments like coolers and freezers, where maximizing space is crucial due to higher costs per square foot.
