What kinds of warehouses are suitable for drive-in racking?

Drive-in racking is a very special kind of racking, in the warehouse where drive-in racking is used we can find that there is no special passage for forklift, so how does forklift work in the through racking? In addition to the different working method, the structure of drive-in racking is also very different from the normal racking. 

In fact, drive-in shelf is sometimes called through shelf. This is mainly because our employees need to drive a forklift to work inside the shelf when using this shelf, so they get the name of drive-in shelf. Although this working mode greatly saves the space of the channel, it also has some problems, among which the big problem is the high operation difficulty. If the operation is difficult, there is no way to improve the work efficiency, and the technical level of employees is also higher. If the technology is not qualified, there is no way to use this shelf.

The structure of through-racking is also very special, in order to ensure the normal work of forklift, through-racking must be higher than the height of forklift equipment on the first level. Moreover, through-racking can only support the working mode of first-in, last-out, which limits the suitable environment for through-racking, for example, there is no way to use through-racking to store foodstuffs. 

Generally speaking, the drive-in shelf can allow forklifts to drive into the channel to access goods, which is suitable for storing goods with few types, large batches and flowing to the same customer. Widely used in cold storage, food, tobacco, dairy products, household appliances, chemicals, clothing and other wholesale industries.
