Difference between cross beam racking system and double deep pallet racking system

Beam racking

double depth pallet racking

Rack structure

It is assembled by column, diagonal brace, cross brace, cross beam and bolt.

It is a kind of dense shelving, and this shelving system adopts double-row side-by-side design structure.

Forklift Type

Conventional forklift

scissor lift trucks

Access method

FIFO

First in, last out

Picking rate

The cross-beam racking can be accessed at any one of the bays, which is convenient and quick to operate, effectively improving work efficiency.

Because of the deeper storage bay, the double-depth pallet racking picking rate is not as high as that of the beam racking, which is only fifty percent.

Storage capacity

Normal storage capacity

Up to 30% more storage capacity under the same site conditions
