FAQs
What is double deep racking, and how does it work?
Double deep racking is a pallet racking system where pallets are stored two pallets deep within a single rack, maximising your storage capacity. Double deep racking requires specialised double-reach forklifts in order to access rear pallets in this configuration. This system is a good option for businesses storing low-turnover stock, or bulk quantities of the same stock which can be efficiently stored in double deep racking systems.
Why use double deep racking?
Double deep racking is a great solution for maximising storage capacity in your warehouse. By storing pallets two deep, it significantly increases storage density without requiring double the floor space. This system is ideal for businesses managing large volumes of the same stock, optimising storage for high inventory levels. It’s also well-suited for low-turnover items, allowing these products to be stored efficiently without taking up valuable easy-access pallet spaces.
What type of forklifts are required for double deep racking?
Double deep racking systems require specialised reach trucks that can reach pallets at double depth. If you’re looking to install a double deep racking system, it is important to ensure you have the correct equipment and machinery to access stock.
How does double deep racking compare to selective and drive-in racking?
Double deep racking provides higher storage density than standard selective racking by storing stock two pallets deep per bay. While selective racking allows direct access to every pallet, double deep systems require specialised reach trucks to reach the rear pallets. Drive-in racking offers even greater storage density but limits access to individual pallets. Double deep racking offers a balance between high-storage capacity while maintaining a reasonable level of access, making it a versatile option for businesses that need both efficiency and selectivity.
Are double deep racks suitable for all warehouses?
Double deep racking is an effective solution for optimising storage space, but is not ideal for operations that require immediate access to every pallet. This configuration works best for businesses storing low-turnover stock or large quantities of the same product. However, for business with a wide range of products that require frequent and direct access, a system that allows immediate access to each pallet, such as selective pallet racking, may be a more suitable option.
What factors should I consider when designing a double deep racking system?
When designing a double deep racking system, it’s important to consider various factors including the type of stock being stored, access requirements, and the available storage space. Double deep racking also requires specialised reach trucks that can access pallets stored double deep. If you’re unsure whether double deep racking is best suited to your storage requirements, get in touch with our team and we would be happy to provide design advice and help optimise your setup based on your specific requirements.
