Drive-Thru Racking

If your operation handles a variety of palletized goods, you likely understand how important floor space and storage capacity are for your facility. While the right pallet racking system can optimize both elements, the wrong system can compromise operating space, storage capacity, and safety. With so many different types of pallet racking systems available, it can be difficult to determine which option is right for your facility. As leading providers of pallet racking systems such as drive-thru pallet racking, the team at Commander Warehouse Equipment knows how important it is to choose the right solution for your needs. That is why we have provided an overview of drive-thru racking systems to help you determine if they are the right choice for your operation.

Learn about the different types of pallet racking.

What are Drive-Thru Racking Systems?

As noted by their name, drive-thru pallet racking systems are designed to allow forklifts and other equipment to drive through them. Drive-thru pallet racking systems allow for fast transportation of products on a pallet-in/pallet-out basis and can be loaded/unloaded from either side. Each system is specifically designed to allow for each bay to be dedicated to a single product or lot number. Drive-thru pallet racking is ideal for both commercial and industrial facilities, especially those with a higher number of skids and a lower number of product lines, or where floor space is hard to come by.

This type of pallet racking system allows for faster product transportation than any other type of pallet racking on the market. All drive-thru pallet racking systems can be specifically designed for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, ensuring optimal performance and safety. While drive-thru pallet racking requires main aisles at each end of the storage system, they create significant floor space savings by enhancing storage capacity.

Benefits of Drive-Thru Racking Systems

Drive-thru racking systems offer the following benefits for warehouses and industrial facilities:

  • Each system is individually designed based on the specific needs of your operation to ensure optimal efficiency, safety, and functionality.
  • A low-cost racking option that offers high-density storage, optimizing value.
  • Significant floor space savings, allowing you to free up room for additional equipment or manufacturing tasks.
  • High-density storage allows you to increase your storage capacity without taking up valuable floor or aisle space.
