AR Racking - Drive in Racking system

Drive in Racking system - AR Drive In

The AR Drive In compact racking system is the optimum solution for the storage of homogenous products with a high number of unit loads per reference.

It is a high-density pallet storage system designed to maximise the cubic space available by minimising the operating aisles needed for trucks.

Compact pallet racking systems enable excellent stock control in the warehouse, as each lane of the structure is exclusively for a product reference.

In this compact pallet racking system, parallel aisles are generated inside the structure, where the forklifts circulate to load or unload the unit loads. The forklift handles the load at a height higher than the level at which it will be deposited and deposits it on the load support rails, which are located on both sides of each level.

Two types of storage for the compact system

Drive in pallet racking (LIFO - Last in, First out)
This is the most common compact racking system and only needs a single access aisle for the forklift. It uses the LIFO method, so the last load in is the first one out. Drive in compact racking is indicated for warehouses with low material turnover.

Drive through pallet racking (FIFO – First in, First out)
This solution requires two accesses, one on each side of the racking. It uses the FIFO method, as the first load in is the first one out. Because it allows access from both the front and rear sides, drive through compact racking is a suitable system for high turnover products.
