The drive in pallet racking is in the category of intensive storage equipment. Among the current storage and logistics equipment, drive-in pallet racking without drop-offs has been frequently installed and used in bulk product warehouses, manufacturing and processing industries, as well as e-commerce warehousing and cold storage. In this section, we will introduce the features and applications of drive-through pallet racking.

Features of drive-in racking

Drive-in pallet racking bull leg and bull leg racking with integral stamping and rolling technology is suitable for storing large quantities and small varieties. Goods enter from the same side of the drive in pallet racking and are stored first, then removed, then taken out first. Counterbalanced and forward-moving forklifts can easily drive into the middle of the racking to access the goods without taking up multiple aisles.

Pallets are stored one after the other in the depth direction on the support rails, which makes high density storage possible. The stability of the drive in pallet racking system is the weakest of all racking types, so the racking should not be too high, usually within 10m.

In addition, the system needs to be equipped with tensioning devices. The system is densely packed and has a very high space utilization. It is suitable for storing large quantities and few varieties of the same type of goods, and can be stored and taken out on the same side or taken out on one side and the other side.

The total depth of the shelves in the wall area is generally best controlled within the depth of 5 pallets, while the total depth of the shelves in the middle area is generally best controlled within the depth of 10 pallets, which can be accessed from both sides to improve the efficiency and reliability of forklift access.

Drive-in racking applications

Drive in pallet racking is a continuous, integral racking that is not separated by aisles.Drive in pallet racking is a pallet access model for storing single varieties of goods in large quantities. The warehouse utilization rate of drive-in pallet racking can reach about 80%, and the warehouse space utilization rate can be increased by more than 30%, which is the most efficient racking. Pallets are stored one after another along the depth direction on the support rails.

The investment cost is relatively low, and it is suitable for the case of larger lateral dimensions, less variety and more quantity. Commonly used in dairy industry, beverage and other food industries and cold storage.
