Drive-In Pallet Racking
Drive-In Pallet Racking is a high-density storage system for operations handling larger quantities of similar palletised goods. Forklifts enter the rack lanes to place and retrieve pallets, reducing the number of conventional operating aisles.
Drive-in layouts are commonly planned around first-in, last-out (FILO) stock flow unless the project uses another engineered configuration. Lane depth, pallet type, handling equipment and stock rotation should be reviewed before finalising the system.
Mention your site dimensions and what you need to store. Photos or an existing layout are helpful for the initial discussion.

Large batches of similar pallets
Group compatible products into high-density pallet lanes rather than many individual aisles.
Finished-goods buffer storage
Hold larger quantities of consistent palletised products before distribution.
Limited-SKU bulk inventory
Use a compact footprint for substantial quantities of fewer pallet types.
Packaged dry-goods reserve
Plan deep lanes for suitable packaged stock when direct access to every pallet is unnecessary.

Drive-In Racking Planning Guide
Drive-In Racking is a high-density pallet-storage system in which the forklift enters the rack lane to place and retrieve pallets. By reducing the number of access aisles, the system can dedicate more of the warehouse footprint to pallet storage.
It is best suited to larger quantities of the same product or a limited SKU range where maximum selectivity is not the main requirement.
Where This Product Fits
High-density reserve storage
Create deep pallet lanes for products held in substantial quantities.
Limited-SKU bulk storage
Use multiple positions in the same lane where many pallets of the same product can be grouped together.
Cold or space-sensitive storage
Reduce aisle area where the building footprint is especially valuable and the stock profile suits lane storage.
Manufacturing buffer stock
Hold suitable raw materials or finished goods in dense pallet lanes close to production or dispatch operations.
What to Check Before Finalising the Layout
Pallet consistency
Pallet dimensions, load stability and support points should be consistent with the rail and lane configuration.
Lane depth and stock rotation
Plan how many pallets are stored in each lane and how the stock will be rotated before determining the final depth.
Forklift clearances
Because the handling equipment enters the rack, mast, body and turning clearances are critical to the layout.
Rack protection
Column protection, set-back or cant-leg arrangements and disciplined forklift movement can help reduce impact risk.
Final dimensions, loading, access, services and site requirements are project-specific and should be confirmed during site assessment and design.
Drive-In vs Double Deep Racking
Drive-In normally provides greater lane depth and storage density but less immediate selectivity. Double Deep keeps aisles in front of the rack and stores pallets only two positions deep, making it a middle ground between selective access and dense storage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the forklift enter Drive-In Racking?
The system uses pallet-support rails or ledges inside deep rack lanes, so the forklift enters the lane to place and retrieve pallets.
Is Drive-In suitable for many different SKUs?
It is generally a stronger fit for larger quantities of fewer products because each deep lane is easier to manage when pallets are grouped by SKU.
Are Drive-In dimensions fixed?
No. Rack & Save's existing product information states that Drive-In dimensions are customisable and should be measured around the actual storage requirements.
