Drive-in, Drive-through systems provides maximum storage capacity using the minimum amount of space. It is particularly suited to store very large quantities of homogeneous product.

Drive In or Double Access Systems consists of continuous lanes of racking with only a single load and retrieval aisle. Loading and unloading is undertaken by means of counter balance or reach trucks that drive down each lane into the racks. Drive In racking operates on the basis first in last out [FILO], therefore it only suits product, which is stored in sufficient volume to require multiple lanes to ensure stock rotation.

When operating Drive-Through racking, access aisle are positioned on either face of the Drive Block. Drive-Through racking offers the advantage that picking and replenishment can take place independently of each other, allowing first in first out [FIFO] principals to be operated.
