Drive-in and drive-through rack systems enable your warehouse to store pallets two, three or even more deep. These types of rack systems offer a greater storage density, but also less selectivity. If your warehouse stores items that have a long shelf life, then this system is a great solution.

Drive-in pallet racks enable your forklift to enter from one side to either pick up or pull out the pallets. The depth of your storage racks is only limited by the size of your warehouse, so you could have several rows of rack storage. This type of rack system is ideal for the freezer or cooler applications as it requires fewer aisles and provides more storage options. There are certain applications that work best for this type of system. For example, if you have seasonal items that need to be moved around quickly at one time or if you store items that are similar in nature.

Drive-through pallet rack systems allow forklifts or other types of lift trucks to enter and exit from either side of the rack to pull or place pallets. Drive-through racks are ideal if your warehouse stores a large number of similar loads in a smaller area. This type of rack system is ideal for cooler and freezer applications and when you have items that need to be moved out quickly all at once.

Regardless of which rack system is right for your warehouse, you can discover just what is best for you right here.
