What is Drive-In Rack?
Drive-In Pallet Racking is installed in warehouses and distribution centers that need a cost effective, high density storage solution for their products. Drive-in systems can be designed to store 2 to 10 pallets deep per lane. Because of its design, drive-in pallet rack is a first in, last out (FILO) storage system. Drive in racking is best used with a large quantity of like-products that are not time sensitive, in order to best utilize warehouse space.
How it works:
Drive In pallet rack systems store pallets that are driven into the rack system by forklift operators and loaded onto horizontal rails. Drivers then remove the pallets from the same entry point at which they were loaded when it's time to move them
Advantages vs. Disadvantages

- ✓Cost-effective- Drive-in systems are typically significantly cheaper than pushback and pallet flow systems
