The Long and the Short

Selective racks allow for greater variety but lesser density, whereas drive-in/through pallet racks allow for lesser variety but greater density.

Accessed from only one end, drive-in racks are best suited to last-in/first-out inventory pallet rotation, and drive-through racks, which are accessed by either end, are best suited to first-in/first-out, yet both are widely used for cold storage, quick-moving seasonal items, or inventory of much of similar items.

MHE and the Science of Rack System Design

MHE approaches pallet rack design, such as drive-in/drive-through racking systems, as a science with textbook awareness of manufacturers' recommendations for loads and authoritative knowledge of the best practices utilized industry-wide. Specifically, we routinely calculate, with pinpoint accuracy, loads down to the very item and storage system components down to the bolt.

We specialize in precision calculations especially for drive in/drive through systems, such as recommendations of how many and which lift trucks you should consider (counterbalanced, narrow aisle reach, deep reach, swing mast, articulating, walkie-stacker).
