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 on the rail system 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.
