Drive In Pallet Racking: The Smart Storage Solution for Warehouses

When your warehouses start running, expanding the building is not the only answer. Instead, you can unlock more capacity with a Drive In Pallet Racking System — a proven way to maximize storage density while maintaining efficiency and safety. At Bari Engineering, we design and install industrial storage racks and warehouse racking solutions that help businesses store more, move faster, and organize better. Our Drive In Pallet Racks are built for high-volume operations that handle uniform products — perfect for industries like cold storage, food and beverage, manufacturing, and automotive warehousing.

What Is Drive In Pallet Racking?

A Drive In Pallet Racking system allows forklifts to drive directly into storage lanes to load or unload pallets. It works on a Last In, First Out (LIFO) system — meaning the last pallet placed is the first one to be retrieved. This design removes unnecessary aisles and can increase storage capacity by up to 85% compared to conventional pallet racks. Because forklifts enter the structure, the system is ideal for high-density, low-SKU inventory — where multiple pallets of the same product are stored together.

Key Benefit and Specification

• High-Capacity Storage: It stores more pallet in the same footprint.
• Strong Built In Design: They are Built to handle heavy loads safely.
• Customizable Dimensions: Adapted for different warehouse layouts.
• Optional Drive-Through Design: For FIFO inventory management.
• Durable Finish: Corrosion-resistant for cold stores and humid environments.

Our Drive In Pallet Rack Specifications are tailored to your needs, ensuring both strength and smooth forklift operation. Bari Engineering also provides inspection, maintenance, and layout design services for warehouse racking systems.

Types of Drive In and Related Racking Systems

1. Standard Drive In Pallet Rack

The classic system for LIFO storage, designed for storing identical products. Ideal for cold storage warehouses or seasonal inventory.

2. Drive In / Drive Through Racking

A hybrid system that supports both LIFO and FIFO flow. It allows entry from both sides, ensuring smoother pallet movement and faster turnover.

3. Push Back Pallet Rack

This system uses carts or rollers so each new pallet pushes the previous one backward. It’s excellent for operations that need a balance of selectivity and density.

4. Pallet Flow Rack (Gravity Flow Rack)

Perfect for FIFO operations, pallets move automatically to the picking face through a sloped roller track. Common in food and beverage companies, pharmaceutical storage, and temperature-controlled medicine storage.
