UNARCO Drive in Pallet Rack

UNARCO specializes in manufacturing storage solutions, including drive-in pallet racks. Drive-in pallet racks represent a high-density storage system designed to enable forklifts to directly enter the rack for pallet retrieval or storage.

In this system, pallets rest on rails supported by vertical uprights, strategically set at an angle to create aisles for forklifts to navigate between racks. Forklifts access the front of the rack, serving as both the entrance and retrieval point for pallets.

Drive-in pallet rack systems are particularly advantageous for storing substantial quantities of identical products, effectively maximizing available space. However, they may not be the ideal choice for items with expiration dates or those necessitating a first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory management approach, as the last pallet in is typically the first pallet out.

Designing a drive-in pallet rack system requires careful consideration of pallet weight and size, ceiling height, required aisle width for forklifts, and the quantity of pallets for storage. It is important to work with a professional engineer to ensure your system complies with national and local safety regulations and building codes.
