TYPES OF DEEP RACKING

Drive-In Rail: This system allows forklifts to enter the rack structure for loading and unloading pallets, maximizing space utilization. It's ideal for bulk storage of similar items with a LIFO (last-in, first-out) inventory rotation.
Drive-Through Rail: Similar to drive-in racking, but with access from both sides, offering more flexibility and slightly improved selectivity.
Push-Back Rail: This dynamic system uses nested carts that slide backward on inclined rails, allowing for a FIFO (first-in, first-out) inventory rotation. It combines high density with improved selectivity compared to drive-in racking.
Pallet Live Rail: This gravity-fed system utilizes a slight incline to allow pallets to flow smoothly from the loading aisle to the unloading aisle. It ensures FIFO inventory rotation and is ideal for high-volume, time-sensitive goods.
Shuttle Systems: Automated shuttles move pallets within the racking structure, increasing efficiency and reducing the need for forklift travel. This system offers high density and can be configured for both FIFO and LIFO.
Hybrid Solutions: For ultimate flexibility, consider combining different deep racking types to create a customized solution that meets your specific needs. For example, you might use drive-in racking for bulk storage and pallet flow racking for high-turnover items.

OPTIMIZE YOUR WAREHOUSE

CET Essentials for Material Handling helps you analyze your storage needs, optimize your warehouse layout, and design a deep racking system that maximizes storage capacity and efficiency. Visualize your entire material handling workflow in 3D, ensuring smooth movement of goods and preventing potential hazards.

KEY CONSIDERATIONS

Inventory turnover: How frequently do you need to access pallets?
Product variety: Are you storing a wide variety of goods or mostly similar items?
Space constraints: How much space do you have available?
Material handling equipment: What type of forklifts do you use? By carefully evaluating these factors with the help of CET Essentials for Material Handling, you can select a deep racking system that optimizes your warehouse operations and maximizes storage capacity.
