Drive-In Racking

Drive-In/Drive-Thru Racking

Intuitive User Interface

Drive-in racking is a high-density storage system designed to maximize pallet capacity by reducing aisle space. Ideal for bulk storage, it uses a Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) system, making it perfect for products with longer shelf lives or uniform SKUs.

Key Benefits:

Space Efficiency: Reduces aisle space by up to 90%, allowing you to store more in less square footage.
Cost-Effective Storage: Ideal for cold storage and bulk inventory, helping you optimize your warehouse footprint.
Durable & Customizable: Built with heavy-duty steel and tailored to fit your pallet sizes and layout needs.

Why Drive Thru Racking?

In a temperature-controlled cold storage facility where every square foot counts, Drive-In Racking offers the high-density storage needed to maximize capacity while keeping energy costs low. This warehouse handles large volumes of a single frozen product per chamber such as meat, seafood, or packaged produce making drive-in racking the ideal solution for storing multiple pallets of the same SKU in deep, compact lanes. Forklifts drive directly into the racking structure to load and retrieve pallets, minimizing aisle space and dramatically increasing pallet positions per cubic foot.

Because cold storage environments are expensive to operate, drive-in racking reduces wasted air space and supports more efficient climate control by packing inventory tightly. Its Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) design works well in operations where stock rotation isn’t a top concern, and with reinforced rails and structural steel options, it’s built to withstand heavy forklift use and sub-zero temperatures. For cold storage operators focused on storage density, durability, and SKU-specific bulk handling, drive-in pallet racking is a space-saving powerhouse.
