FOR Drive In & Drive Through pallet racking
Ideal for storing large amounts of the same type of stock (SKU’s), either in rows or throughout in bulk.
Drive in pallet racking is a high-density storage solution particularly suited to businesses that hold large amounts of stock that is of the same type.
drive in Pallet racking
It is ideal for businesses that stock up on goods and ship them out in bulk. For low velocity inventory where stock remains static for long periods of time, drive in racking can offer cost savings to businesses by way of reduced storage footprint.
Removing the need for picking aisles, drive in pallet racking can enable a footprint utilisation of over 80% depending on the type of stock and the handling equipment available.
Rather than placing pallets onto beams as would be the case with a traditional pallet racking system, ‘drive in’ racking involves loading pallets on to front to back rails. Forklifts enter the storage lanes of ‘drive in’ racking to access pallets in a first in, last out (FILO) system. It is also possible to operate a double access or drive through system where goods are accessible from both sides of the racking system which means a first in, first out (FIFO) system may be operated instead. This FIFO approach can be ideal for pre-assembling loads.
The advantages of drive in or drive through racking
for the right type of stock holding are plentiful and our experts are always on hand to ensure that your storage solution is the very best for the needs of your business and facility. Besides the obvious maximisation of space by eliminating access aisles, other advantages of this type of storage system include:
- More storage per cubic meter than any other racked storage system
- High density storage without the need for expensive capital investment in specialist handling equipment
- Clearly arranged logistics management with full inventory control
- Designed to allow for fast reconfiguration should stock and access needs change
- Snag free smooth pallet rails reducing the potential for stock damage
- Low assembly and maintenance costs
Implementing drive in racking can afford large cost savings against expansion of a storage footprint for the right type of stock handling needs.
Automated Pallet Shuttle
Pallet Shuttle is a high-density compact storage solution that uses powered shuttles to automatically carry loads into the rack.
The storage concept and space utilisation are very similar to that of Drive-In Racking but the Mechanical Handling Equipment (Fork Lift Truck) doesn’t need to enter the lanes. Instead the Pallet Shuttle(s) are remotely controlled by an operator. Hence, there is an optimum use of storage space and workplace with access to every level no matter how deep the lane is. Damage and accident rates are also reduced.
This system can work either as FIFO or as LIFO, even in freezer chambers, with temperatures of up to -30°C.
This pallet shuttle system reinforces logistical capacity qualitatively and quantitatively, since it automates the handling of goods on pallets; it is also possible to control the inventory through a system of sensors which count the stored pallets.
A good Computer Aided Stock Management System will optimise the utilisation of this Solution.
