Double Deep Pallet Rack

 

Double Deep Pallet Rack is a variation of normal Selective pallet Rack where the pallets are stored two deep, or four pallets deep in a double entry rack. This style of racking allows each front pallet to be removed or put away as per normal selective rack, with a second pallet stored behind.

 

Double entry racks reduce the aisle to rack ratio but also reduces pallet selectivity, increasing storage density.

 

The advantage of this type of racking is 'storage density' allowing more racking and less aisles in your warehouse.  50% immediate pallet access provides reasonable stock rotation on a FILO (First In Last Out) basis and makes good use of all available locations. This system is best used when each SKU has several pallets.

 

The double deep pallet rack system requires the use of a special reach truck with either dual pantograph or slide fork attachments. Truck lift heights are limited by load to about 9 metres. Upper levels can be fitted with guide rails to assist forklift drivers in locating pallets, they also help reduce fork truck operator error and accidental impact damage.
