Structural or Roll-Formed Drive-In Rail Options
Dense storage, such as Drive-In racking, requires different rail systems for different products. Not every pallet has the same dimensions or conditions, so UNARCO provides options to help make the most of every Drive-In installation.
Dense storage, such as Drive-In racking, requires different rail systems for different products. Not every pallet has the same dimensions or conditions, so UNARCO provides options to help make the most of every Drive-In installation.
UNARCO offers two styles of Drive-In/Drive-Thru pallet support rail systems. The simplest Drive-In Rack Rail is the structural rail which is a simple structural angle that is bolted to special drive-in rack arms and attached to the pallet rack uprights.
This angle provides a ledge and side support made of durable structural steel for pallet placement. Drive-In Rack Rails can be painted to match your system or are available in standard safety yellow.
The “Z” rail system is a special UNARCO Drive-In/Drive-Thru design that incorporates a formed arm with stronger shape properties for a higher capacity and less rotation. This Z-shaped geometric design provides sturdy support that runs the depth of the lane. The “Z” Rail is a very cost effective solution for Drive-In Rack with added rail capacity. It can even be formed with pre-galvanized, zinc-coated steel for refrigerated systems or rust prevention.
The UNARCO bolt-on Drive-In rack support arm can accommodate either rail system and both are interchangeable in the field. Support arms are available in single-sided for uprights or double-sided for center bay applications. They enable high density storage of pallets and are easy to assemble.
System Highlights:
Drive-In Rack and Drive-Thru Rack rails offer fast assembly with a rigid design.
The UNARCO Z-Rail System is available in galvanized finish for years of durability even in freezer applications
Structural rails can combine with structural racking or roll-formed pallet rack
Cost-effective solution for dense storage
Manufactured to the tight tolerances for easy installation
Tapered arm is available for Drive-In Rack to help forklift drivers by guiding the pallet into the bay
Drive-Thru rack is a perfect solution for temperature-controlled storage to help rotate stock and keep pallets in order. The close placement of pallets and UNARCO engineering can allow for unlimited storage depth in order to maximize stocking and picking and increase warehouse value.

Special Designs to Help Forklift Drivers
UNARCO also offers a tapered drive-in racking arm which helps forklift drivers enter the pallet rack by guiding the pallet into the bay.
Both Drive-In Rack rail support arms are adjustable on 3″ vertical centers to eliminate wasted space within the drive-in rack system. Drive-In Rack support arms are manufactured with inset steel tabs for easy installation and secured by a bolt and nut.
