The supplier’s standard roll-formed, drive-in rack rails are now made of galvanized steel for greater durability and surface wear resistance than powder coat or paint.
Forming the rail system from pre-galvanized steel provides even greater load-bearing capacity without deflection or torsional twist.
It also can withstand more abuse, making it ideal for last-in/first-out storage of similar products on like-sized pallets, or in cooler and freezer applications.
Company Description:
Drive-In rack is a high-density (LIFO) system best suited for last-in, first-out storage requirements. Drive-thru systems are similar to drive-in rack but can be (FIFO) accessed from either end and can be first-in, first-out.
These storage rack systems feature narrow pallet-storage lanes running perpendicular to the working aisles. Pallets are stored on the floor and on the parallel rails. Drive-In is a good choice for building inventories that ship periodically with low SKU items.
Maximum Density
Drive-In Systems increase storage density by eliminating aisles and are multiple pallet positions deep.
Drive-In & Drive-Thru Storage Systems
For the right application a Drive-In system is a cost effective, high-density system where you have low SKU counts and selectivity is less important. The illustration to the right, depicts a warehouse with one main aisle separating two drive-in systems 8 pallet positions deep by four pallets high. Selectivity in this example is 13%... 4 high, divided by 32 pallet positions, (8 deep x 4 high) equals 13%.
High-density drive-in systems are ideal for LIFO storage applications having few items or SKUs and not particularly time sensitive products. Operators fill the system back to front to access all the pallet positions. Particular attention to proper loading, pallet specifications and lift truck dimensions is required.
Drive-In systems are commonly found in factories, warehouses, coolers and freezers.
