Drive-In Racking
Drive-In Racking is a high-density pallet storage solution where forklifts drive into continuous lanes to load and retrieve pallets from rail supports, maximizing capacity while minimizing aisle space. Designed for LIFO storage and bulk handling, it is ideal for homogeneous SKUs, cold storage, and high-throughput distribution. Heavy-duty uprights, pallet rails, and guide protection deliver reliable performance for heavy pallet loads.
Why Choose Drive-In Pallet Racking?
High-Density Lane Storage
Multi-deep drive-in lanes reduce aisle count and maximize pallet positions per square meter.
Minimize Aisles, Maximize Capacity
Drive-in loading from a single aisle increases pallet density and frees space for storage.
Heavy-Duty Steel Construction
Engineered uprights, bracing, and rail supports handle heavy pallet loads with long-term stability.
Guided Forklift Entry & Protection
Entry guides and rail protection assist pallet alignment and reduce damage during drive-in operations.
| Configuration | Lane Depth | Frame Height | Max Pallet Load | Metric |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2-Deep | 2 pallets | Up to 12 m | 1000 kg/pallet | Custom |
| 3-Deep | 3 pallets | Up to 12 m | 1000 kg/pallet | Custom |
| 4-Deep | 4 pallets | Up to 12 m | 1000 kg/pallet | Custom |
| 5-Deep | 5 pallets | Up to 12 m | 1000 kg/pallet | Custom |

How It Works
1.
Install Upright Frames & Bracing
Frames and cross bracing are installed to form rigid drive-in lanes with clear forklift entry.
2.
Install Pallet Support Rails & Guides
Rails and entry guides are fixed to the frames to create multi-deep pallet lanes with secure support.
3.
Load Pallets into Drive-In Lanes
Forklifts place the first pallet on the rear rails; each subsequent pallet pushes the previous pallet back along the lane for high-density storage.
4.
Retrieve Pallets (LIFO)
Forklifts enter the lane and unload from the entry end, pulling pallets out in last-in, first-out sequence to keep lanes stable and accessible.
