Maximize storage space in your warehouse with drive through pallet racks from Easy Rack

Are you quickly running out of space in your warehouse?
One of the best ways of maximizing storage space within your warehouse is by implementing a system of drive through pallet racks available from Easy Rack. These drive through pallet racks are a great way to boost storage capacity without chewing up valuable floor space.

What are the drawbacks of a traditional storage system?
Traditional racking systems require large amounts of floor space for fork lifts to navigate between racks. These so called "fork lift alleys" typically are wider than a standard rack itself, which translates into less storage and more aisles. By replacing conventional rack systems and using Easy Rack drive through pallet racks, you can maximize available space and increase storage capacity.

How does a drive thru pallet racking system work anyway?
A drive through pallet rack system involves storing the pallets in a consolidated area. Instead of having fork lift aisles between the pallet racks, they are arranged against each other, and are then removed one at a time as required. While there are a number of disadvantages to this material handling solution, it represents the absolute best way of maximizing the use of warehouse space, and should definitely be considered by any business for whom limited room could present a hurdle to expansion.

What is the main disadvantage to drive thru pallet racking?
The main disadvantage of a drive through pallet racking is that only the perimeter pallets can be accessed at any time. This means that if your staff need to get access to materials that are stored in the middle, they will need to shuffle other pallets first. When considering whether to implement a material handling solution in your workplace, it is important to decide whether what impact it will have on being able to select different items on demand is more important than the space saving benefits that it will produce versus efficiency costs.
