Advantage and disadvantage of drive in racking


What is drive-in racking?

With drive-in supports, pallets can be placed so that they can be slid back onto the track, thereby storing them deeper and creating more space in the warehouse. Push-in racking means that the forklift enters the rack from one side to load or retrieve deeper pallets.

Lane frame type

The drive-in racking system uses the LIFO (Last In First Out) principle for loading and unloading. The casing unit is loaded and unloaded according to the FIFO principle (first in first out). In order to guide the truck or pallet and protect the installation, it is recommended that you use grounded rails.

According to the loading and unloading process and availability, there are two types of push-in racks:

Simple entrance shelf

Double entry shelf

By using visible upright railings and grounding rails, the service life of the pull-out bracket can be extended. The entrance rail is not grounded, so it can be quickly replaced if damaged. The system aims to widen the entrance road by 200 mm to avoid collisions with the entering structure.

What are the benefits of lane frames?

Refrigerators or cold rooms can be expensive, so organizations will want to store as many products as possible in as limited space as possible.

2. If you have a large number of pallets with similar products, then push-in racks can use the space in the warehouse more effectively, rather than selectively using certain types of racks. In the pallet rack, there is space between many aisles of the forklift.

What are the disadvantages of the road frame?

Shelves are only suitable for the storage and retrieval of bulk goods, and are not suitable for goods with high first-in first-out requirements, small batches, and many varieties.

2. The shelf stability is weak and should not be too high. Usually should be checked within 10 meters. In order to enhance the stability of the entire racking system, in addition to larger specifications and options, fastening devices must be added. The load of a single pallet should not be too large or too heavy, usually the weight is controlled within 1500 kg, and the pallet buckle should not be larger than 1.5 meters.
