This type of pallet racking has got vertical support frames with cross pieces at selected heights to hold the pallets. As shown in the picture, forklifts are able to drive in between the vertical support frames to retrieve or put a pallet. This greatly increases the space utilization of the warehouse as lanes and aisles are removed from the system. With this, up to 75% more pallets can be stored in the same space. However, stock selectivity is restricted as the first in will always be the last out (FILO).
The picture on the left is an example of Drive-in pallet racking. Forklifts can only access the products from one side of the racking.
This is a Drive-through system whereby forklifts can enter from both sides of the racking. This allows more flexibility since pallets can be accessed from both sides.
This type of racking is suitable when:
- The warehouse needs to store a large amount of the same product
- Seasonal good whereby input and output are at different times
- Pallets are dispatched in batches
Reason being, in those situations stated above, goods do not have to be First-In-First-Out (FIFO).
