Drive in racking

Drive-in racks are designed for storing large quantities of similar pallets and increase the storage space utilisation compared to conventional pallet racking systems.

This is achieved by eliminating picking aisles. The system provides safe block stacking of goods, which are too fragile or unstable to be stacked one on top of the other.

Stow’s Pal Rack Pallet racking system is particularly suitable to build drive-in installations. With upright widths of up to 140mm, Stow is able to build very high installations. The most important features are:

The arms, combining a rigid connection and a fast and easy installation. They are hooked in the frame, which is continuously perforated at a pitch of 50mm. The height partitioning of each lane can be set individually!

The pallet rails, incorporating strength with excellent pallet guidance.

Drive-in racking is loaded and unloaded according the LIFO (last in, first out) principle. Drive-through installations are loaded and unloaded according the FIFO (first in, first out) principle. Ground rails are recommended to guide the truck or pallets and to protect the installation.

Drive-in racking can be subdivided in three types, based on the load and unload procedure and the accessibility:

Single drive-in, Double drive-in and Drive-through
