Drive in Racking
go back
The warehouse is managed on a LIFO (last
in, first out) basis, and is ideal when the material being stored
is homogeneous, not subject to scheduled rotation and has a low
obsolescence index.
This structure generates a very
dense storage layout. The trucks move inside the shelving to deposit
their loads at the depth permitted by the available space, occupying
the entire volume of the facility. An optimal performance rate
obtained with this system, and the use of space may well exceed
80% of the possible total.
Also, its design makes it quick
and easy to alter the layout of the structure to suit changing
needs, extensions, transfers, load-level regulations, etc. Drive-in
rack storage systems enable logistics managements to be a tightly
ordered process, with total control of inventories and circulation
and service flows.
