What Is Drive-In Pallet Rack?

Drive-in pallet rack functions by allowing  the forklift operator to enter the racking system from one side in order to pick up or pull out pallets.  While this type of rack is typically subjected to more physical damage from forklifts, drive-in pallet rack an optimize space effectively.  Drive-in rack requires fewer aisles, which allows for up to 75% more pallets to be stored in a given amount of space (compared to last week’s Term Of The Week, selective pallet rack).

Drive-in pallet rack utilizes what is referred to as a LIFO system of storage (last in, first out).  This is what allows you to store a large amount of similar pallets in a small area, giving you increased storage density when compared to standard selective pallet rack.

Today marks the final day of the 8th annual third-party logistics summit in Atlanta, GA. This tradeshow is the world’s largest event for third-party logistics providers and is focusing on how to drive business and online sales during an economic rebound. Kevin and Chastity have been working hard to make Storage Solutions a known presence this year.  Our booth highlights the three most important aspects of what we do:  buying used products, selling products and installing the best available.

We have also chosen this event to present our new Storage Solutions Certified Pre-Owned Rack Program.  Our team is committed to providing our customers with reliable, quality products… which is why we’ve created this Certified Program.  The Storage Solutions Certified seal is only awarded to products that pass our rigorous five-point inspection to ensure that our customers are getting the best product available.

While not all of the pre-owned products we sell are required to bear the certified seal, our five-point inspection process helps to ensure that when you buy certified, you are getting the best quality rack.

As we wrap up this year’s 3PL summit, be sure to stop by our booth for more information or visit our website at www.storage-solutions.com.
