Before knowing the drive-in racking system design, we should know the definition of drive-in racking. Now, let's jump into the topic of this section, "What is drive-in racking?"
Drive-in racks are pre-assembled racks used for palletized storage where forklifts drive in and out of the shelves. The Drive-in racking system is made up of inner lanes that are formed by connecting sets of frames and vertical uprights.
As many SKUs are allowed by this small storage system as there are loading lanes. The quantity of pallets to be stored determines the depth and height.
Drive-in racking is classified into two types. These are what they are:
Single Entry Drive-In Racking.
This type of drive-in racking has forklift access on only one side.
Double-Entry Drive-In Racking.
Both sides of the racks have forklift access in double-entry drive-in racking. This drive-in racking system design allows pallets to enter the rack from the back and front sides. A large beam connects the racks in the structure's center.
