Drive-In Pallet Racking Melbourne for Bulk Pallet Storage
Maximise your warehouse footprint with Colby Drive-In Pallet Racking, the most popular and cost-effective high-density storage solution. Designed for high-volume applications where space is at a premium, this system allows forklifts to enter the racking structure to store pallets multiple positions deep.
What is a Drive-In Rack?
Unlike traditional racking that uses beams, Drive-In systems use heavy-duty ledges. This allows forklifts to drive directly into empty rack locations, facilitating “multi-deep” storage. It operates on the First-In, Last-Out (FILO) principle (also known as LIFO), making it an ideal choice when individual pallet selectivity is not a primary requirement.
What is a Drive-in Racking System?
By using ledges instead of beams, forklifts are able to drive into empty rack locations, which makes the storage of multi-deep pallets possible. This is a great solution for situations where selectivity isn’t a necessity. Providing excellent storage capacity, Colby Drive-in Pallet Racking works on the first pallet in, last pallet out (FILA) principle.
