The cargo storage channel of the drive in pallet racking is also the forklift storage and transportation channel, which is a form of shelf storage rack with higher storage density. It is usually used for the storage of goods with small varieties but large batches and low requirements for goods picking. Calculated based on the conventional scheme of the lifting height of an ordinary forklift and the number of storage racks in the corridor with three layers of goods, the effective storage capacity of the warehouse can be increased by more than 100%. In contrast, the investment cost is controlled and the benefit is significantly improved. Calculating from the overall storage cost, generally, the increased storage capacity benefit can offset the investment cost within three years. The goods follow the first-in-last-out principle and are suitable for most handling machinery storage and transportation operations.
The stability of the drive in pallet racking system is weaker among all types of storage racks. For this reason, the storage racks should not be too high, generally within 10m. In addition, the system needs to add a tension device. This kind of system has densely arranged shelves and extremely high space utilization. Drive in pallet racking is suitable for storing small varieties and large quantities of the same type of goods. The goods can be stored and taken out from the same side, or stored on one side and taken out from the other side. As an important tool in storage racks, the drive in pallet racks improve efficiency and save space for modern warehouses.
