When your SKU volume exceeds the capacity of standard selective pallet racking, double deep pallet racking is an ideal solution. This system is a simple, economical adaptation of selective racking, where one row is placed directly behind another. Operators use deep reach forklifts to store the rear pallet first, followed by the front pallet.
While this configuration reduces pallet selectivity by half, it doubles storage capacity for the same number of aisles, making it a highly efficient high density pallet racking system. By reducing aisle space, it increases floor space utilization by approximately 60% to 65%.
Widely adopted in high-throughput operations, double deep pallet racking offers excellent cost efficiency, good selectivity, and reduced equipment damage.
