Drive-in racking is designed for the storage of homogenous products. It accommodates a large number of pallets for each SKU. Drive-in/Drive-Thru Pallet Rack is ideal for stocking large quantities of relatively few items. It can reduce overall square footage requirements by 35 percent or more compared to a standard selective rack configuration.

Drive-In Rack and Drive-Thru racking are terms that are often used interchangeably. In some environments it can be difficult to differentiate between the two. Typically, Drive-In racking requires operators to drive into the racking system from one side and remove pallets from the same entry point. Some Drive-In rack systems have a wall or are otherwise closed at the opposite end.

Drive-In & Drive-Through Racks offer the ability to store a large amount of similar loads in a smaller area. Selectivity is sacrificed, but storage density is outstanding. Drive In Racking can store up to 75% more pallets in the same space than selective racking — depending on your application. It requires fewer aisles and is better cubic storage.

A simple way to identify a Drive-In Rack Systems is its LIFO inventory management. Product is rotated in a Last-In, First-Out inventory manner because of the single entry/exit point.
