What is a drive in racking?

The drive in racking is a high-density storage system that can store goods in deep racks. The goods in the rack can be directly stored and taken out by the vehicle. The characteristic of this kind of racking is that it allows the goods to be stored in deep racks so that the storage space of the warehouse can be maximized.

How drive in rackings work

The drive-through racking system consists of deep storage racks and internal pathways. Goods can be stored and retrieved directly through the vehicle. Drive in rackings are usually divided into two types: one-way driving and two-way driving. One-way racks allow vehicles to travel back and forth in the same aisle, while two-way racks require two aisles, and vehicles can enter and exit from both directions.

Drive-through racking systems typically use forklifts or other similar vehicles to store and retrieve goods. These vehicles can increase the storage density of goods and can store and retrieve goods quickly and efficiently.

Advantages of drive in rackings

Maximize the use of warehouse space: Drive in rackings can maximize the use of warehouse space, allowing goods to be stored in deep racks.

High-density storage: The drive in racking can store a large number of goods, and the storage density is very high.

Suitable for storage of the same type of goods: Drive in rackings are usually suitable for the same type of goods because the storage of goods is carried out in the same depth of racks.

Suitable for Low-Temperature Warehouse: The drive in racking is suitable for low-temperature warehouses because the rack can be installed in cold storage.

How to choose a drive in racking suitable for your warehouse?

Before choosing a drive in racking, the following factors need to be considered:

Type of cargo: Drive-through racks are usually suitable for the same type of cargo. Therefore, before choosing a drive-through rack, you need to consider the type of goods stored in your warehouse.

Storage needs: You need to consider your storage needs, such as the depth, height, and width of the shelves and other factors.

Rack Size: Drive-through racks are usually larger, so you need to consider whether your warehouse can accommodate them.

Vehicle Requirements: You need to consider what type of vehicle you will be used to store and retrieve goods, and make sure your racking system is compatible with these vehicles.

Summarize

Drive-through racking is a high-density storage system that maximizes warehouse space. Although it has some disadvantages, such as low efficiency and high cost, it is still a very effective storage solution. Before choosing a drive-through rack, you need to consider factors such as cargo type, storage needs, rack size, and vehicle needs.
