It reduces 35%, even more, and utilizes area requirements compare to standard selective pallet racks when having the same pallets storage capability. Drive in need fewer aisles than selective pallet racks, enhancing the utilization of the warehouse area. But in the warehouse daily work,drive in drive thru pallet racks need forklifts to drive directly into the storage rack, subject to more abuse than any other type of warehouse rack.
