The Drive-In Rack indicates that the forklift can move inside the rack. Similar to the double deep pallet racking system, this system allows pallets/cases to be placed inside the frame. Due to limited space, forklifts take longer to load inventory than other methods reliably. Again, the search method is block stacking, i.e., similar to LIFO, but with an increased storage capacity.
High storage density
Drive in racking system eliminates aisles and utilizes rack lanes to store blocks of goods. A forklift truck moves into the street to pick up and place the pallets. This gives high storage density at the expense of selectivity. The first palette in the lane will be the last. However, it is not lost if the warehouse receives and ships the pallets in batches. Drive-in pallet racks are extremely fast to operate, mainly when introduction rails are used to guide the forklift into the lane. Drive-in racking supports each pallet to prevent crushing damage.
Drive-in and Drive-Thru Rack is another excellent racking system that allows forklifts to move into straight lanes in vertical rows called bays. The main difference between drive-in and drive thru racking systems is that the bay entrance is only at one or both ends.
Drive In Racking use a common entrance and exit, while drive-thru rack systems have doors at each end of the bay. This system provides whole density storage of goods and eliminates aisles in the warehouse. It's also great for storing many related merchandises in a small space!
Pallet flow rack
A Pallet Flow Rack works by moving a load from one end of the rack onto a conveyor, allowing pallets to be lifted in a FIFO manner. When one pallet is removed, the next pallet moves to the position of the removed pallet. This racking solution is suitable for warehouses where a high throughput is an expensive option. But it is a costly option.
Pallet Flow Racking is the latest and most expensive storage method. Suitable for high-end warehouses and maintenance warehouses. In this method, the racks have conveyors, which can move the rack’s inventory from end to end. So, when you put the packages in, they are stacked one after the other. First In, First Out, or FIFO, is the collection method. This is because pallets are stacked from one end and taken from the end. However, as mentioned above, not all warehouses can be fitted with this high pallet storage method.
A Pallet Flow Rack consists of multiple rack lanes and uses a high-speed conveyor system to move the pallets to the same position. Generally, this type of shelving is commonly used in import/export warehouses to facilitate easy handling of goods according to a first-in, first-out method.
