Drive-In
Racking
Maximum density by eliminating aisles. Ideal for cold storage rooms and high-volume homogeneous products.
More pallets.
Fewer aisles.
Drive-in racking creates deep storage lanes. The forklift enters the structure to place or retrieve pallets on support rails. By reducing traffic aisles, this configuration aims for very dense use of available volume.
This system is generally suited to inventories with few SKUs but several pallets per SKU. Agir Installation assesses with you the rotation profile, loads, lane geometry, protections, and forklift maneuvers before assembly.
Choosing based on
your inventory.
This system often fits well if…
- Homogeneous products stored in high volume
- Inventories compatible with a last-in, first-out (LIFO) logic
- Cold storage rooms and sectors where space is costly
- Operations that prioritize density over access to each pallet
Keep in mind
If your products are dated, highly varied, or require strict FIFO rotation, pallet flow or selective racking deserves a look.
A clearer flow.
A better organized operation.
Enter
The forklift travels through a lane designed for pallets from the same family.
Accumulate
Pallets are placed in depth on support rails.
Retrieve
The last pallet placed is generally the first accessible at the lane entrance.
Configuration to plan for
Operational benefits
Other systems
to explore.
Every warehouse is different. Compare access, rotation, density, and handling logic before settling on a configuration.
Plan with
the right data.
Loads, dimensions, pallet types, handling equipment, flows, and building constraints are all part of every analysis. Let’s talk about your project before you choose.
What is the difference between drive-in and drive-through?
Drive-in racking is typically operated from a single side of the lane. Drive-through provides access at both ends and must be planned around your product flow.
Is drive-in suitable for perishable products?
It depends on the rotation rule required. Since a drive-in lane is typically operated on LIFO, an analysis of your dates, batches, and procedures is essential before choosing this option.
Are protections needed?
The plan must include appropriate protections and guides for areas exposed to forklifts, in accordance with the configuration and project requirements.
