DRIVE-IN AND DRIVE-THROUGH
High Density Storage System
Our Drive-In and Drive-Through Racking Systems are designed to maximise your storage capacity without wasting valuable floor space.
By eliminating standard aisles, these systems allow forklifts to drive directly into the racks, accessing multiple pallets in depth with ease. Whether you need single-side access (Drive-In) or two-sided operations (Drive-Through), this racking solution delivers high-density storage while keeping operations efficient and safe. Designed for businesses that store large volumes of the same product.

Pick to Light improves both speed and accuracy by turning picking instructions into clear visual guide. When a SKU is scanned or an order is released, the system instantly lights up the correct locations for that item and displays the quantity to pick. Operators no longer need to read lists, check screens, or search for the right order. They can simply follow the light instructions.
Multiple orders can be handled simultaneously because each location has its own light and confirmation button. This allows operators to handle items for several orders in a single pass, reducing time per order and eliminating errors especially during peak periods.
Streamline Operations
By Layout Access
Drive-In and Drive-Through can be configure to match how your operation moves.
Drive-In racking uses a single entry point, supporting a First-In Last-Out (FILO) flow that works well for bulk storage. Drive-Through racking opens access from both sides, allowing picking and replenishment to happen simultaneously. This layout-driven approach reduces congestion and keeps forklift movement efficient.
Increase Handling Speed
with Guided Pallet Positioning
Integrated support rails guide forklifts as they enter the racking lanes, allowing operators to place pallets quickly and accurately at multiple depths. Self-centring rails help align each load, reducing the risk of damage to both product and structure. Because the system is designed for use with standard counterbalance forklifts, operators can work faster with confidence, improving throughput without adding complexity.

FAQ
What is a Drive-In / Drive-Through racking system?
A Drive-In & Drive-Through racking system is a high-density storage solution where forklifts drive directly into the racking lanes to store and retrieve pallets. By eliminating traditional aisles, it allows pallets to be stored multiple positions deep, significantly increasing storage capacity within the same footprint.
What is the difference between Drive-In and Drive-Through racking?
Drive-In racking is accessed from one side only and typically operates on a First-In Last-Out (FILO) basis. Drive-Through racking is accessible from both sides, allowing for better flow where picking and replenishment can happen independently. The right choice depends on your inventory rotation and workflow needs.
What type of inventory is best suited for this system?
This system is ideal for storing large quantities of the same SKU, such as bulk goods, palletized products, or seasonal inventory. It works best in environments where stock rotation is less critical, like cold storage, food distribution, or manufacturing.
How much space can I actually save?
Drive-In & Drive-Through racking can increase storage capacity by up to 50% or more compared to standard pallet racking. This is achieved by removing multiple access aisles and replacing them with deep storage lanes, allowing you to store more pallets in the same area.
What type of forklifts are required?
Standard counterbalance or reach forklifts can be used for this system. The racking is designed with integrated support rails that guide the forklift into the lane, making it easier and safer for operators to place and retrieve pallets at multiple depths.
Is Drive-In racking safe for operators and inventory?
Yes, when properly designed and installed. Features like guided rails and self-centring pallet positioning help reduce operator error and product damage. Additionally, a well-planned layout ensures smooth forklift movement and minimizes the risk of collisions.
Does this system support fast inventory turnover?
Drive-In racking is better suited for slower-moving inventory due to its FILO structure. However, Drive-Through racking can improve flow by allowing access from both sides, making it more suitable for operations that require more consistent movement of goods.
Who handles the installation?
We don’t just sell the system—we install it too. Our in-house installation crew ensures everything is set up safely, correctly, and ready to use. You won’t need to coordinate with outside contractors.
