Double deep or “deep reach” pallet racking is a higher dense option

Boost Storage Density with Double Deep Racking Systems

Double deep racking systems consist of two rows of pallet racks placed back-to-back, allowing for higher storage density compared to standard selective racking. This configuration is designed for warehouses looking to maximize their storage space without significant structural modifications. Specialized forklifts with extended reach capabilities are used to access pallets in the deeper row, ensuring operational efficiency. This racking system is particularly suited for businesses managing large quantities of uniform products with moderate turnover rates. By increasing storage capacity per aisle, double deep racking optimizes warehouse space while maintaining accessibility.

When RACKsteel Recommends Double Deep Racking

RACKsteel recommends double deep racking for operations looking to balance storage density and cost-effectiveness. This system is ideal for industries such as retail, manufacturing, and consumer goods where inventory turnover is predictable. Our consultative process involves assessing your inventory type, operational flow, and equipment capabilities. We collaborate with specialized factory partners to design and engineer a system tailored to your space, ensuring seamless integration with your existing processes.

Specific Benefits:

Increased Storage Density: Doubles the storage capacity per aisle, making it ideal for high-volume warehouses.
Cost-Effective Solution: Offers a budget-friendly alternative to more complex high-density systems like pallet flow or automated solutions.
Standard Compatibility: Can accommodate standard pallet sizes and configurations, making it versatile across industries.

Specific Limitations:

Reduced Selectivity: Only the front row of pallets is directly accessible, requiring a Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) inventory system.
Specialized Equipment: Requires forklifts with extended reach, increasing equipment costs.
Training Needs: Operators must be trained for precise handling, especially when accessing deeper pallets to avoid errors or damage.

Testimonials

We had a great experience dealing with RACKsteel Material Handling recently. Our company required a new cantilever rack for our pipe storage needs recently, and dealing with Cheryl Schubert and the installation team at RACKsteel Material Handling was a terrific experience. Although there were some initial minor delays with the shipment of the racking, we were very pleased to receive pro-active updates and communication from Cheryl all throughout the process until the installation project was complete. I would recommend RACKsteel Material Handling as a supplier and will call them again in the future if we need additional racking at our facility. Thanks again for the great service.

The team at RACKsteel Material Handling helped us out with a quote for racking at our space. The staff was super knowledgeable and helped us understand all the options + helped us improve the layout efficiency. The installation team was great too. I highly recommend them!

We have used RACKsteel Material Handling at our previous warehouse and just finishing up an install at our new location. Everyone from purchasing, sales, to install staff that I dealt with many times, have all been so amazing to deal with. We have had multiple curve balls and changes that were never a big deal to them and they made it so easy with rolling with all the changes and hiccups as if it was always part of the plan. I have recommended them already and will continue to as well as use them again on any future projects we have.
