Warehouse double deep storage pallet racking system
With double depth selective pallet racking 2 pallet positions are stored from one aisle (4 back-to-back pallets). Back pallets are accessed by special forklifts with pantograph extenders. The Double deep warehouse racking system provides high density storage at a lower initial capital cost than other high density storage systems.
Selective racking can be adapted to accommodate slotted design flexibility and is ideal for high turnover, high SKU inventory counts and fast product access. Selective pallet racking is a cost effective design that allows for the maximum number of SKU picking surfaces in standard racking. Single selective racking uses first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory management and provides immediate access to stored and retrieved pallets.
