Drive in racks

Some racking systems are designed to store pallets two, three, four or more deep.

These systems offer greater storage density and make better use of the available warehouse space
to store stock.

Because the pallets are stored several deep in the rack, the goods are accessed on a last in first out
basis. In this system, the products must have a long life in storage and not require immediate access

Flow Storage racks

In flow storage rack systems, the product is placed into the rack from one side and removed from
the other. The racks slope and the pallets move on rollers.
This type of system allows for first in first out product rotation which is essential for perishable and
time sensitive products.
