Drive-In/Drive-Through
Boston Rack partners with the industry’s leading structural and roll formed pallet rack manufacturers to offer you this highly specialized type of pallet rack meant for high density storage – Drive-in Rack. Drive in pallet rack has specific design criteria that must be considered before deciding whether it is best suited for your warehouse.
Drive In Pallet Rack Advantages:
- Unique, high density storage rack system
- Allows for clearance of lift trucks: lift trucks enters, or drives into the rack structure
- Most cost effective, high density pallet storage rack.
- Multiple configuration possibilities available in roll form or structural materials
Drive-In Pallet Rack Applications:
- Multiple pallets of the same SKU where pallet selectivity and time sensitivity is not an issue
- Storage of oversized pallets.
Drive-In Pallet Rack Considerations:
- The depth of the system is based on the available space and the quantity and size of the pallets
- The height of the system is limited by the pallet height, building clear height and the max lift of the truck.
- Pallets must be quality hardwood (generally with 5 bottom boards) and a consistent size in order to be safely stored in a drive-in rack system. Pallets of poor quality may need a slave pallet placed under the original pallet for safety.
- The product must be positioned square and straight on the pallets to avoid damage to the product
- The rack must be protected from contact with trucks.
- The front upright column should be reinforced for impact and resistance

We will work with you to integrate your unique requirements into a drive-in rack system that maximizes the space in your warehouse facility while lowering maintenance costs.
