DRIVE-IN OR DRIVE-THRU PALLET RACKING SYSTEM
MEGA-RACK’s Drive-in system is the ideal solution and alternative to high density conventional block stacking. It can be designed with various depths according to requirements and allows the storage of homogenous product for each lane. The operation of such racking system is normally LIFO (Last In First out).
In some cases. The lane may not necessary contain homogenous products but different products of a batch. However, FIFO is possible with Drive-thru racking system. The intrinsic technical features of the drive-in, drive-thru storage system require considerable transversal stability. MEGA-RACK has both profile and engineering designs calculations for the safe use of the racking system.
ADVANTAGES :
- High density pallet storage
- Fewer accessories required
- Ideal for fast moving products or products with a long shelf life
- No specialised equipment required
- Low cost trucks (Counterbalanced or Reach Type)
- Floor level is not critical (front loaded).
SERVICE DETAILS
The tranversal stability can be achieved with reinforcement by horizontol and vertical bracing components, or appropriate “bracing towers”. The frame-load bearing structures can be protected from accidental knocks from material handling equipment by use of impact absorbent post guards and specifically designed crash barriers. Finally, there are optional floor guide channels that help access by material handling equipment and their route inside the lanes.
MEGA-RACK designed impact absorbent post guard is the standard safety accesory used in its drive -in/drive-through racking system. This post guards comprises an angle bracket and the racking upright.
The conventional designed of using the upright as the post guards has its flaw in the post guards is not strong enough to take the impact from the trusk and more often than not both the post guards and racking upright is damaged easily.
