Drive-In/Drive-Thru Racking

DESCRIPTION

Drive-in racking creates a high-density storage solution by eliminating multiple aisles. Forklifts enter the racking structure to load and retrieve pallets, which rest on rails. This design is ideal for operations that prioritize storage density over selectivity, particularly for bulk storage of homogenous products. Drive-in racking maximizes floor and vertical space, making it especially beneficial for industries requiring deep storage for large volumes of similar items. Its compact design minimizes wasted space while supporting efficient warehouse operations.

When RACKsteel Recommends Drive-In Racking

Drive-in racking is recommended for industries like cold storage, beverage production, and food processing where high-density storage of homogenous goods is critical. RACKsteel’s consultative team works closely with clients to evaluate inventory flow and access requirements, ensuring this system maximizes available space while maintaining operational efficiency.

Specific Benefits:

Maximum Storage Density: Excellent for facilities with a high volume of identical products and low SKU diversity.
Space Optimization: Requires fewer aisles, allowing for better utilization of floor space.
Cost-Effective Bulk Storage: Provides a budget-friendly option for long-term or seasonal inventory.

Specific Limitations:

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.
