Features of Drive-In/Through Rack:

1. Pallet Placement: Drive-in and drive-through racks allow forklifts to drive directly into the racking system to place or retrieve pallets. This eliminates the need for aisles between racks, maximizing storage capacity.

2. Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) or First-In-First-Out (FIFO): Drive-in racks are typically LIFO systems, where the last pallet placed is the first to be retrieved. Drive-through racks can be configured as LIFO or FIFO, allowing for pallets to be accessed from both ends.

3. Structural Design: These racks are designed to withstand the pressure of forklifts driving into the system, ensuring structural integrity and safety.

4. Pallet Support: The system includes horizontal load rails or supports to hold and distribute the weight of the pallets evenly.

5. Increased Storage Density: By eliminating the need for multiple aisles, drive-in/drive-through racks significantly increase storage density compared to selective pallet racking.

6. Ideal for Large Batches: These systems are ideal for storing large quantities of the same SKU, making them suitable for bulk storage.

Advantages of Drive-In/Through Rack:

1. Space Efficiency: Drive-in/drive-through racks offer some of the highest storage density among pallet racking systems, making efficient use of available space.

2. Cost-Effective: By maximizing storage within a given footprint, these racks can reduce the need for additional warehouse space or building expansions, resulting in cost savings.

3. Time-Saving: Forklifts can quickly load and retrieve pallets, reducing handling time and increasing operational efficiency.

4. Order Consolidation: Drive-through racks (FIFO) facilitate order picking and stock rotation, ensuring older stock gets used first, which is crucial for perishable goods or products with expiration dates.

5. Simplified Inventory Management: Storing large quantities of the same SKU in a compact area simplifies inventory control and stock counting.
