Drive-in/drive-through racking is a high-density storage system where load units are stored on continuous pallet rails. Material Handling Equipment, MHEs, can drive inside the racking structure to store the pallets directly on the rails, eliminating the need for aisles. Drive-in racks are designed for MHEs access from one side, following the Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) principle. On the other hand, drive-through racks allow MHEs to enter from both sides, providing the advantage of the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) principle.

Applications

Drive-in and drive-through racking systems are well-suited for storing large volumes of heavy items with a limited variety. They are particularly suitable for applications such as cold storage, bulk storage, seasonal goods, or high rotation products with time or date sensitivity.

Operation

Sideways seated stackers are particularly well-suited for this type of work as they provide the operator with a clear field of vision when operating in reverse.

This allows for safer and more efficient navigation within the narrow channels of the racking system.
