Drive Through Racking Design

A drive thru racking system can be as durable as needed by adding safety protection accessories to protect the pallet rack from drivers entering and exiting the drive thru system.

Drive through racking design.

Most high density drive in pallet racking systems are little more than conventional pallet racks adapted and reinforced to meet the stringent demands of drive in applications. Also called drive through racks this style of pallet rack features the same design as drive in pallet rack but instead of being closed off at one end the rack system is open at both ends allowing forklifts to drive through it. The system is frequently used in cold stores refrigeration and freezing which require maximum use of space for the storage of products in a controlled temperature. With only one entrance the last pallet put into a row is necessarily the first one to be taken out.

Drive in rack drive thru rack systems from unarco. Drive through racking components. Two management systems are available. Drive in rack systems use a common entry and exit while drive thru systems have entry points at either end of the bay.

This static system has rails running the depth of the rack for pallet placement. Drive in rack and drive thru rack systems are a cost effective solution to high density storage. T racking s drive in racking system provides the space efficiency and high volume storage of block stacking with easy access to pallets. Drive in racking offers the highest possible density of pallet storage with the lowest selectivity.

In addition drive thru rack design requires a detailed knowledge of the load capability of the racks and the forklifts and other material. Because a drive in racking system has only one entrance it uses what is called a lifo last in first out storage method. The only limitation to the depth of pallet storage is the capability to drive deep within the system. Our specialists at konstant can help you design permit and install drive in or drive thru racking for your operation.

Drive thru rack design requires a detailed understanding of the materials to be stored and their lifecycle to ensure that materials are routinely used in the right order to prevent expiry and obsolescence. The drive in system with only one access aisle and the drive through system with access to the load from both sides of the rack. Let unarco engineers design the perfect rail system or structural drive thru rack system to meet your warehouse storage needs.
