Drive in racks
Drive-in racking
- Maximum utilisation of warehouse space;
- Higher density up to 85%;
- Ideal for storing homogeneous goods;
- Effective LIFO inventory management;
- Fewer aisles required;
- Safe - special safety guides;
- Suitable for large volumes of goods;
- The perfect solution for cold rooms;
- Adjustable height and width of levels;
- Drive-through installation;
- Minimal investment costs per square metre;
- Sturdy, galvanised or painted structures.
Drive-in racking - maximum capacity in a limited space. This is an ultra-high density storage system where forklift trucks drive directly into the racking structure. This solution eliminates the need for intermediate aisles between each row, making up to 85% more efficient use of warehouse space than standard pallet racking.
Efficient operating principle
- Block storage. Goods are stacked one after the other in deep tunnels, filling the entire volume of the room;
- Support rails. The pallets are placed on longitudinal support rails rather than on beams, ensuring structural stability;
- Forklift corridors. The racking tunnels themselves serve as forklift movement areas, saving valuable floor space;
- Security features. Integrated baffles and wheel guides protect the rack stands from possible damage during loading.
Flexible inventory management, the system easily adapts to your logistics processes:
- LIFO (Last-In, First-Out). The standard principle where the last pallet in is the first pallet out (ideal for long shelf-life goods);
- Drive-through option. By configuring the system with access from both sides, the FIFO principle can be implemented and the rotation of goods accelerated.
The main advantages of drive-in racking:
- Cost optimisation. The lowest cost per pallet space of any high density storage system;
- Saving energy. The high storage density makes this system ideal for cold rooms, as a smaller „empty“ volume needs to be cooled;
- Versatility. Ideal for seasonal goods or large quantities of the same type of product that do not require direct access to each pallet;
- Safety and durability. High-quality steel construction that can be easily adapted to changing warehouse needs.
Key benefits of Metalsistem:
