Drive-In Pallet Rack

With its minimal number of aisles,drive-in rack very dense storageand takes maximum advantage ofavailable space, as each bay is de-dicated to a single type of article.Drive-in rack is typically usedwhen there are many of the sametypes products (SKUs).

A minimum number of aisles isneeded for fork lift maneuver, sothat most of the available floorplan can be used for storage. It cansignificantly reduce the storagespace compared to traditional se-lective pallet rack.

Our unique design of self cente-ring load rail helps the operator“guide” the pallet into position.

Drive-in pallet rack is made up of rows of rackswhich from inner loading lanes with guide rails.The forklift trucks drive along the inner laneswith their load raised above the level on whichit is to be deposited.
