Drive In/Drive Through Racking

With drive-in / drive-through racking sev-eral load units are stored behind each other in the rack on two pallet support bars (pallet rails). A loading / unloading cycle per racking lane from the top to the bottom (or the other way round) must be observed during depositing and retrieval. The trucks can drive into the racking lanes. With drive-in racking, rack servicing is only possible from one side (Lifo method). With drive-through racking in contrast, depositing can be carried out from one side and at the same time retrieval from the other side (Fifo method). Compared with drive-in racking, throughput is therefore higher with drive-through racking. Application:Drive-in and drive-through racking are optimally suitable for storing goods with a low variety of articles. The rack-ing system combines the advantages of block stacking and rack stacking: com-pact space utilisation at height and careful storage of goods. Operation:Before entering the aisle, the truck lifts the pallet to the required racking level. The truck must not be wider than the pallet. Sideways seat stackers are par-ticularly suitable as they provide the op-erator with unobstructed visibility also during reverse travel. Advantages:Excellent space utilisation                  Easy to expand                  Particularly suitable for the storage of seasonal goods
