Drive-in racking in action.

Palletstor drive-in racking provides a highly space-efficient solution to the storage and throughput of palletised goods.

By dispensing with access aisles drive-in racking provides a high-density of storage in a given area to increase capacity by some 60-80% over conventional 'aisle' racking.

Pallets are stored on guide rails in the depth of the racking and forklift trucks enter these 'storage lanes' to deposit or retrieve loads.

Access can be from one end (the true 'drive-in' configuration) or from both ends ('drive-through', allowing improved stock rotation).

Racking heights up to 11 metres allow the building height and floor area to be used to provide maximum cubic storage space.

Drive-in racking - the ideal solution for optimum space utilisation without requiring specialist handling equipment.

Components
1-Portal Beams	2-Pallet Guide Rails	3-Rail Spacer Brackets	4-Rail Protector Noses
Space the frames into lanes and, with overhead bracing, provide stability.	Provide the support for palletised loads within the drive-in lanes.	Used to space the guide rails from the uprights for additional load clearance.	Fitted to the guide rail entry points to protect against accidental impact.
5-Lead-In/Protectors	6-Guide Channels	7-Foot Plates	8-Frames
Protect the uprights against accidental impact and serve as lane guides.	Provide guidance for the movement of forklift trucks and pallets in the lanes.	Provide load-bearing stability and floor anchor points for the structure.	Varying combinations of uprights and bracing to meet the load criteria.
