Do you know the Double-Deep Pallet Racking?

Double-deep pallet racking is considered a type of high density pallet racking, which goods are stored in parallel rows so that the storage capacity is twice than selective pallet racking.

Feature of double-deep pallet racking:
1. The height of beam is normally lower than that of selective pallet racking and the operating height is up to 8 meters.
2. Suitable for warehouse with low pick-up rate, ground usage rate is up to 42%.
3. With high storage capacity, the capacity is twice than selective pallet racking.
4. Requires special forklifts to access. Walkway for forklift access needs to be around 3.3 meters.
5. Just like drive in pallet racking, it is difficult for this type of racking to follow the first in and first out principle. In order to improve the utilization rate of the warehouse, it is necessary to consider storing the back rack first then the front rack later.
6. When delivering goods, try to take out the front and back goods at one time. If there are too many cases that goods can't be taken out at once, it may affect the inventory utilization or warehouse efficiency.
7.Widely used in paper industry, plastic products industry etc that require very high inventory utilization.
