HOME / STORAGE RACK /DRIVE-IN/DRIVE-THRU RACKING
Utilizing Space for Maximum Productivity
Drive-In and Drive-Thru racking solutions create the best use of available space by maximizing the height of your warehouse while significantly reducing wasted aisle space. These systems are engineered precisely for your specific space conditions, the types of lift trucks being utilized, and the variety of products being stored, which ensures that warehouse space utilization consistently exceeds 80%. These innovative solutions effectively support both First In-First Out (FIFO) and Last In-First Out (LIFO) product movements, enabling you to manage inventory efficiently and ensure that your products move in and out of the facility in in the order you need.
Drive-In System Overview
With Drive-In Systems, lift trucks efficiently access product from a single side, and the product follows the LIFO (Last In-First Out) approach, which helps in managing inventory effectively. Products that typically work great in these applications are those with low turnover rates and high shelf life, or high-turn seasonal inventory that moves quickly through the system. This storage solution is particularly well-suited for products that require cold storage and consistent temperature distribution to maintain their quality. When maximizing space utilization is more important than skids or pallet activity, this system emerges as the ultimate storage solution for your facility, providing both efficiency and practicality.

Lift Truck details (L x W, Mast Height, Lift Height)
Warehouse Dimensions (L x W x H)
Height restrictors, such as fire suppression, lighting, fans, HVAC etc)
Upcoming packaging changes (new skid supplier, FG skid weight, etc)
Drive-Thru System Overview
Drive-Thru Systems significantly maximize productivity, as lift trucks can effectively work in tandem, loading and unloading from both ends of the storage bay. This design is particularly perfect for high turnover products, where accessibility is always at a premium, supporting the efficient rotation of products with First In-First Out (FIFO) product movement. Additionally, products that require consistent temperature maintenance also perform exceptionally well with this type of innovative solution. By matching your pallet width and height, as well as the types of lift trucks in use and the layout of your warehouse space, you can achieve optimal efficiency through the customization of the entire system.
