Looking for a space-saving solution that allows for increased storage capacity without sacrificing accessibility and selectivity? Double deep pallet racking is a configuration of standard pallet racking rather than a racking system. Using a back to back run of pallet racking accessible from one side only.
Double deep pallet racking can be used to optimise your warehouse space when dynamic systems simply don’t work, or it can be utilised when large, non-standard pallet need to be stored and a single frame will not suffice.
Double deep pallet racking system allows you to store pallets two deep, effectively doubling your storage capacity within a run compared to a standard racking system. By utilising the depth of each pallet position, you can optimise your warehouse space and accommodate more inventory.
Despite the double-depth configuration, double deep racking systems ensures easy access to each pallet. By using specialised forklifts or fork attachments, you can retrieve pallets from the back position without the need for additional aisles. This accessibility allows for efficient material handling.
Double deep racking optimises the use of available floor space by reducing the number of required aisles. By eliminating the need for a dedicated aisle between each rack, more pallet positions can be accommodated within the same area.
By using standard pallet racking double deep racking can provide a more cost-effective solution compared with dynamic solutions. Also, by removing the need for additional aisles, double deep racking systems provides an increase in pallet storage locations with the same available footprint, taking away the potential need for costly extensions or moving premises.
Double deep pallet racking is commonly used in warehouses that require higher storage density without sacrificing the adaptability, selectivity and accessibility of standard pallet racking configurations. It is suitable for industries such as manufacturing, retail, and general warehousing, where efficient space utilisation are essential.
Standard forklift truck can be used with fork extensions or a forklift truck with telescope forks to allow access to the rear bay.
