How to plan and design drive-in storage rack

Drive-in rack, also known as through racks or corridor racks, are integral racks without aisle separation. Compared with ordinary beam racks, it reduces forklift channels and improves warehouse utilization. Compared with other intensive storage racks, the supporting use is a reach forklift or a counterweight forklift, and the cost of the system is relatively low. So, how does the planning and design of drive-in storage shelves proceed?

The selection of drive-in rack must understand the following data:

1. The detailed model and parameters of the forklift:

After understanding the model and parameters of the forklift, we can understand the depth of the goods picked up by the forklift and the size of the forklift, so as to determine the specifications and total length, width and height of the unit drive-in rack.

2. Instructions and requirements for goods entering and leaving the warehouse:

In fact, through scientific and reasonable methods, understanding the direction of goods in and out can effectively plan the shelf placement, so as to ensure that the shelf device can work twice.

3. Construction status of the storage area:

In-depth understanding of the various construction conditions of the warehouse, including the location of the ceiling beams, the warehouse's fire hydrants, and important entrances and exits. In this way, a reasonable reserved channel can be designed for the drive-in rack to facilitate the entry and exit of goods and the circulation of personnel in the future.

4. Lifting height of forklift and net height of warehouse:

The total height of the drive-in rack is related to the lifting height of the forklift and the net height of the warehouse. The designer must understand the maximum lift height of the forklift used in the warehouse and measure the height of the customer's warehouse.

5. Properties of pallet cargo (pallet size and cargo size):

The design of unit racks needs to consider the status of pallet goods, such as pallet size, weight, bottom structure, etc. And need to consider the size and weight of the pallet cargo, which requires clear measurement before designing the drive-in rack.
