Advantages and application fields of drive through racking


Drive in racks are also called drive through racks or drive-in racks. The Drive in racks can be used for forklifts (or unmanned trucks with forks) to enter the channel to access the goods, which is suitable for the storage of small types and large quantities of goods. Except for the cargo space near the aisle, the Drive in racking needs to enter the rack to access the goods. Usually, it is recommended that the single-sided pick-up does not exceed 7 cargo spaces. In order to increase the operating speed of the forklift, guide rails can be selected according to actual needs. Compared with the cargo racks, the storage space utilization rate of the through racks (drive-in racks) can be increased by more than 30%. Shelves) are widely used in wholesale, cold storage, food and tobacco industries.

Drive in shelves are mostly used in food industries such as dairy and beverages, and they are also more common in cold storage.

Drive in racking: it is a kind of continuous and integral racking that is not divided by aisles; the Drive in racking adopts the pallet access mode, which is suitable for storing a single variety and large quantities of goods; compared with pallet racking, the warehouse utilization rate can reach About 80%, the utilization rate of warehouse space can be increased by more than 30%, which is a shelf with high storage efficiency. On the support rails, the trays are stored in the depth direction, one after the other. The investment cost is relatively low. It is suitable for large horizontal size, small varieties and large quantities. It is often used to store large quantities of the same type of goods. Due to its high storage density, it has a high utilization rate of ground space. It is often used in cold storage, food, tobacco, etc. Warehouses with high storage space costs.

The advantages of Drive in shelves are:

1. The cargo storage channel is also the forklift storage and transportation channel, which is a form of shelf with higher storage density.

2. It is usually used for the storage of goods with fewer varieties but large batches and low requirements for goods picking.

3. Calculated based on the conventional scheme of the lifting height of an ordinary forklift and the number of shelves in the corridor with three layers of goods, the effective storage capacity of the warehouse can be increased by more than 101%. In contrast, the investment cost is controlled and the efficiency is significantly improved. Calculated from the overall storage cost, generally the increased storage capacity benefit can offset the investment cost within three years.

4. The goods follow the first-in-last-out principle, which is suitable for most handling machinery storage and transportation operations.
