Drive In Pallet Racking
July 2008 - Stirchley Drive In The Bacon
Stirchley Bacon's new production facillity required Drive In Pallet Racking to store pallets of freshly sliced bacon. Apex Storage Limited came to the rescue and intalled the drive in racking overnight to ensure NO disruption to production.
DRIVE IN RACKING
Drive In (Drive Through) Racking is used where high density storage is required. It is frequently used used in facilities with a low number of product lines. Pallets are stored in a block system with two blocks generally served by one operating aisle. The trucks drive into the racking to load or retrieve pallets which are stored on cantilevered rails running throughout the system. The first pallet in is the last pallet out unless a Drive Through system is used, whereby pallets can be loaded or retrieved from either side of the block.
