Drive In Pallet Rack & Drive Through Pallet Rack

Drive In and Drive Through Rack FAQs

Q. What’s the difference between drive-in and drive-through rack?
A. They are essentially the same, except drive-through rack allows picking on both the front and back of the system. Therefore, drive-through rack allows for first in, first out (FIFO) picking, while drive-in rack is strictly last in, first out (LIFO).

Q. What are the benefits of drive-in racking?
A. The major benefit of drive-in racking is the large amount of increased storage capacity, since there are fewer aisles than a traditional selective rack system. Drive-in rack system depths are almost unlimited, so we can customize the configuration to maximize product capacity to your facility.

Q. Will drive-in rack work for my business?
A. A drive-in racking system is a last in, first out (LIFO) configuration. Pallets are loaded and unload from the front position of the rack. The pallets are buried, so the first pallets in can’t be accessed without unloading the entire lane of rack. Drive-in is great for companies that may receive truckloads of the same material and ship it out in large quantities.

Q. What type of application is best for drive-in rack?
A. Drive-in is often used in a cooler or freezer storage application. This type of system is perfect for companies that have some year round high volume SKU’s or for seasonal SKU’s that flow quickly from inventory.

Q. Is used drive-in rack available?
A. Yes, we have used material in stock and can also recondition used material to meet your requirements. New drive-in rack shipped from the factory to the jobsite is also available.
