In a drive-thru racking system, forklifts enter the racking’s interior from either of 2 access points on each side of the racking.

When loading, lift trucks pass through the rack bay, placing loads on supporting rails from one side, and then exiting in the same direction.

When unloading, operators can enter the racking from either side to retrieve the pallet.

This racking system is best for First-In, First-Out (FIFO) inventory management and operations with high volumes and few SKUs.

  • High-density design allows up to 75 percent more pallets than a standard pallet rack with up to 10 pallet positions
  • Reduced aisle space requirements with single or double entry points for loading and unloading
  • Robust construction with frames and vertical cross bracing along the back of the system for added stability
  • Enhanced damage protection with offset or kant-back bases, floor-mounted guide angles, and rack-mounted rub rails
  • Customizable and flexible to meet your needs with adjustable rails and a variety of options to fit your pallet sizes and forklifts
  • Simple installation with hardware included
  • Cold storage
  • Food, beverage, and grocery distribution
  • Automotive and agricultural
  • Chemical
  • Pharmaceutical

How do I know if drive-thru racking is right for me?

Drive-thru racking is an excellent option for operations that use FIFO inventory management, need high-density storage, and have a low SKU count.

How many pallets can I store in a drive-thru racking system?

Our drive-thru racking systems can store up to 10 pallets deep.

Do I need a special forklift for a drive-thru racking system?

Yes. While drive-thru racking can be customized to fit a variety of forklifts, you will need a special “drive-in” style overhead guard to fit into the racking.

What are the maintenance requirements for drive-thru racking systems?

There are no maintenance or inspection frequency requirements for racking. But you’ll need to maintain your drive-thru racking more the more often you use it. Overall, racking should be inspected anywhere from monthly to yearly.
