Custom Drive-In Racking for Cold Storage

Custom Drive-In Racking for Cold Storage

We created a tailored drive-in racking solution for a cold storage facility, maximizing space utilization while ensuring easy access to perishable inventory.

‌Drive-in racking‌ is a high-density pallet storage system where forklifts drive directly into the rack structure to load/unload pallets from the same aisle. Designed for ‌LIFO (Last-In-First-Out)‌ inventory management, it eliminates multiple aisles by utilizing continuous rails and vertical stacking (typically 4–6 pallets deep per lane). Ideal for bulk storage of uniform SKUs (e.g., beverages, chemicals), it increases storage capacity by up to 75% compared to selective racks. Structural features include heavy-duty guard rails, impact-resistant uprights, and load capacities up to 2,500kg per pallet. Requires skilled forklift operators and is less suited for fast-moving or diverse inventories.
