DRIVE-THRU PALLET RACK SYSTEM
Drive-Thru pallet rack systems are differentiated from Drive-In systems because
they have a separate entry/exit point. Drive-Thru product
is rotated in a FIFO method which makes it more suitable for pallets
that are date-sensitive. The first pallet loaded will be
the first pallet removed from the opposite end of the system.
Various styles of Drive-Thru layouts can be adapted to your warehouse
space requirements. Unlike Drive-In, Drive-Thru will always
require an additional aisle which eliminates some pallet locations
and creates a less dense storage. The advantage of a Drive-Thru
system is the efficient manner of separating loading and picking
aisles. Because stock is rotated automatically, pickers
do not have to handle pallets more than once and are always assured
of picking the first pallet placed in the system. This efficient
selectivity can also result in less rack damage as drivers do not
have to enter the lanes as frequently.
Whatever your warehouse space allocation, both Drive-In and Drive-Thru
racking can provide extremely dense storage for pallets at a very
affordable cost. |
