How to realize the efficient use of drive-in pallet racking?
The design of drive-in pallet racking allows forklift trucks to access the aisles directly to store and retrieve goods, which is especially suitable for storing goods with fewer varieties but larger batches. In order to improve the efficiency of forklift trucks, according to the actual needs of the choice to install guide rails, compared with traditional racking, drive-in pallet racking can enhance the utilization of more than 30% of the warehouse space.
To realize the efficient use of drive-in pallet racking, in the planning of new warehouses or renovation of existing warehouses, the characteristics of the warehouse system needs to be carefully analyzed. For example, drive-in racking has become an economical logistics solution in view of its ability to provide maximum storage capacity in a limited space. When used, loading and unloading operations should be carried out from one side of the rack to optimize time efficiency.
Drive-in pallet racking is an integral racking structure with no aisle separation and continuity. Pallets are closely arranged in the depth direction on the support rails to realize high-density storage. It is suitable for storing single type and large quantity of goods, commonly used in food, chemical, garment and cold storage industries, etc. These fields are sensitive to the cost of storage space, and drive-in pallet racking can effectively reduce the storage cost per unit area.
According to the fetching direction, drive-in pallet racking can be divided into unidirectional and bidirectional arrangement. The depth of unidirectional (against the wall) racking is recommended to be no more than 6 pallets deep, and bi-directional (two-way picking in the middle of the area) is best controlled within 12 pallets deep to ensure the efficiency and safety of forklift operation. The stability of such storage systems is weak, shelves should not be too high, usually should be controlled within 10 meters.
