Drive In Pallet Rack
Ane Rack and Shelving has the drive in pallet rack system for any type of warehousing and distribution requirements. This system is sometimes referred to as the drive thru pallet rack system. This system allows a forklift to drive into a bay of stacked pallet rows to place or remove pallets from storage racks. The system can be designed to allow the forklift to drive into the bay or drive thru the bay to store or retrieve pallets.
A drive in bay has an entry that is also the exit of the bay, while a drive thru has a separate entry and separate exit in the bay. A drive thru can be managed so that the two separate points of entry and exit in the bay can be entered from either place. The drive in pallet rack system is not concerned with shelf life because of the design of the system. However the drive thru allows access to products that may have a shelf live to be concerned with and it can also be used when shelve life is not a concern.
A drive in pallet rack is specifically designed for last in first out (LIFO) inventory control method. This is ideal for products that do not have a shelve life to be concerned with while being stored. The opposite can be said for drive thru pallet rack systems. Since products can be accessed from either entrance using the drive in method, the first in first out (FIFO) inventory method can be used for accessing products. The LIFO method can still be used in the drive thru pallet rack system, depending on traffic control.
An advantage that the drive in and drive thru pallet rack systems have is that they conserve space on the warehouse floor. This is important in warehouse or distribution centers that have a large volume of product handling operations. One scenario could be drive thru pallet rack system could be used when products that have "just in time delivery" schedules are received on one side of the warehouse. Placed in thrive thru pallet bays by a forklift. Then a forklift from the production line enters the drive thru bay from the other side and picks up palleted products for delivery on the production line.
A drive in pallet rack system can be configured to store pallets three or more deep in dense storage. They can also be configured to hold as many as twenty pallets. For drive in pallet systems pallets are placed on rails that run the length of the bays and not across the bay as in select pallet rack systems. This system is ideal for warehouses that produce only one product. Or it can be used in different parts of a warehouse to store similar products.
The advantages of drive in pallet rack systems are that it eliminates conventional traffic aisles, provides for high density storage, floor to ceiling storage, lower costs per square foot, and greater product through put.
The type of drive in pallet rack that Ane Rack and Shelving stocks is roll formed one piece welded frames, snap on safety rings, heavy duty connector studs, and diagonal bracing.
