Drive-in and Drive-Through Rack

Drive-In/Drive-Through rack is a unique storage solution. Loads are densely stored in lanes several positions deep, and lift equipment actually enters the rack structure in order to store and retrieve them. Drive-In/Drive-Through rack is ideally suited to operations where a large quantity of relatively few SKUs are stored.

Overall square footage needs can be reduced by 35% or more as compared to standard selective rack. This allows for significantly reduced building costs for a new facility, or for storage of a greater number of pallet loads in an existing warehouse.

Drive-In/Drive-Through rack may be designed specifically for your needs, in a multitude of heights and depths, and with a wide variety of components. A Drive-In rack structure contains a common entry and exit point for each storage bay. Drive-Through features access to a storage bay from either the front or back of a bay.

Features and Benefits

  • High storage density reduce space costs and hold more loads.
  • A wide variety of available components allow use of either roll formed or structural components with many arm and rail combinations.
  • We design with safety as a primary concern, along with functionality, and long life.

Does the driver of your forklift have difficulty navigating the rows and rows of selective pallet rack in your warehouse? Do you feel that aisles consume valuable floor space that could instead be used for product storage? Do the products you store consist of a large amount of relatively few SKUs? Wouldn't it make sense to store pallets in lanes that permit positions greater than just two deep on the rack? We think so, and DAK Equipment provides drive-in and drive-thru pallet rack to meet these specific storage needs.

Drive-in and drive-thru pallet rack offers one of the highest-density, most space-saving storage solutions available. Ideally suited to operations in which a large volume of like products is stored, drive-in and drive-thru pallet rack consolidates space costs and increases load storage, rendering your organization more productive with only a simple system installation. DAK Equipment offers drive-in and drive-thru rack systems by Interlake and Excel (USP), companies which designs with safety as their primary concern, considering functionality, appearance, and durability as well.

A drive-in and drive-thru pallet rack system allows a forklift to drive directly into the rack system to store and retrieve loads; however, drive-in rack uses a common entry and exit, providing last-in/first-out (LIFO) access, while drive-thru rack features access to a storage bay on both the front and back of the rack system, providing first-in, first-out (FIFO) storage. Because drive-in and drive-thru rack are forklift-accessible, pallets may be stored in lanes six or more positions deep on the rack. Additionally, fewer warehouse aisles are required, saving space by reducing overall square footage needs by 35% or more and permitting a 75% increase in pallet storage as compared to conventional selective pallet rack configurations. This allows for significantly reduced building costs for a new facility or the storage of a greater number of pallet loads in an existing warehouse, as well as an increase in your organization's productivity and commerce.

Welded frame construction provides high rigidity and strength, and the placement of frames and reinforcing struts is computer calculated to match individual upright section requirements. This space-saving rack is also available in maximum strength structural steel with upright columns crafted from structural steel shapes. A half-inch diameter anchor with shims is typical to anchor all columns. Drive-in and drive-thru rack may be designed specifically for your needs: in a variety of heights and depths, with either roll-formed or structural components, and with myriad arm and rail combinations. A few of our arm options include space-saver arms (single, double, or single wraparound) with DR rail, space-saver arms (again: single, double, or single wraparound) with Z rail, and angle rail support arms (single arm end-hung rail, double arm end-hung rail, or single arm top-mounted rail).

From the innovative stamped drive-in arms using the safety stud and keyhole design to the durable paint finish, your Interlake drive-in or drive-thru installation is built for long-term functionality and aesthetics. If you're looking to save space, increase the area in your warehouse that can be used for storage, consolidate your current storage system, and augment the number of loads stored, consider the implementation of either a drive-in or drive-thru pallet rack system.
