Drive-in and Drive-through Racking

This is the most common compact racking system and only needs a single access aisle for the forklift. It uses the LIFO method, so the last load in is the first one out.

Drive in compact racking is indicated for warehouses with low material turnover.

This solution requires two accesses, one on each side of the racking. It uses the FIFO method, as the first load in is the first one out.

Because it allows access from both the front and rear sides, drive thru compact racking is a suitable system for high turnover products.

The upper longitudinal beam joins the frames in the upper area crosswise, to secure the structure by creating gantries. The beams must be placed in all the compact racking aisles.

The horizontal brace is a metal component that reinforces the compact structure and is located at the top.

The frame is one of the basic elements of Drive in compact racking. These frames consist of 2 uprights, their corresponding diagonals, baseplates and fixing elements.

This is a steel rail at floor level that runs along the whole aisle. Its objective is to guide the forklift when it enters the structure and protect it against possible impacts. It helps to separate the forklift from the Drive in compact racking.

The frame and upright protectors protect the installation from possible damage due to impacts by the forklift.

The welded baseplate is an especially designed component for frames with the highest load and height.

The upright, or column, is the main element of the frame and is galvanized. The customer has available to them a wide variety of upright sections and lengths to adapt to their warehouse needs.

It is situated at the front of the pallet beam or pallet support rail and helps operators when depositing the unit loads. It also protects the structure against potential impacts.

These are the horizontal profiles on which the pallets on each level of the Drive in racking system are supported. They are metal and are perpendicularly secured to the upright by means of the brackets.

Brackets are the metal components that support the support rails or pallet beams on each level, and therefore indirectly support the pallets. This component is secured to the upright or column.

The reliability of our compact pallet racking solutions means we are able to offer 5-year quality guarantees against all types of manufacturing or hidden defects in the components of the main structure of our racking solutions.

Since 2016, our compact pallet racking uprights have included a component traceability system.

With this system, the various above-mentioned elements have an identifying mark, which means being able to trace and document each upright without needing the package label, and therefore knowing which component it is, its design and what raw material has been used in its manufacture.

Our industrial racking component production process is fully automated: it incorporates state-of-the-art profiling machines with a continuous cutting process and laser measurement control, welding centres and automated painting and packaging processes, which guarantee the highest quality parameters.

Both our Drive in and Drive thru compact storage systems are designed in our exclusive R&D&I technology centre and supported by the advanced engineering project development area, allowing us to respond suitably to the most demanding logistics requirements.

With the creation of our Research and Testing Laboratory in collaboration with the University of Mondragón, our product area continuously tests and analyses products to improve our Drive in and Drive thru compact pallet racking systems; it simulates, calculates and researches (with specialist software) the efficacy of the geometries, and makes full structural calculations on the behaviour of the systems already installed in different situations.
