MAXIMIZE STORAGE CAPACITY
Drive-In Racking
Drive-in racking systems are a unique style of racking that is focused on maximum storage density and low cost. By design, pallets are stored one after another by a forklift operator deep in the drive-in aisles. The rear of the drive-in racking system is normally blocked off/inaccessible to forklift traffic. (This is what differentiates it from a drive-thru system.)
Due to the drive-in nature of the rack, loading and unloading has to be done in a “LIFO” (Last-In, First-Out) order. This is ideal for fast-moving SKUs or products with no expiration date.
SIMPLIFY PICKING
Drive-Thru Racking
Drive-thru racking systems are very similar to drive-in systems with one key difference – the rear of the system is open to forklift traffic. This decreases the overall storage density of the system by one to two pallet positions but allows forklift operators to access both sides of the system.
As a result warehouses with drive-thru system can operate in a “FIFO” (First-In, First-Out) order – ideal for products with expiration dates and providing additional flexibility for reaching your items.
What’s right for your application?
Both drive-in and drive-thru racking system provide superior storage density at a low cost. This can lead to a reduction in warehouse footprint and lower operating costs for your facility.
Both types of racks can be customized by the manufacturer to meet your specific requirements in capacities, pallet size and more. The key difference between drive-thru and drive-in racking is the ability to access product in a “LIFO” or a “FIFO” order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Drive-in racking has a single entry/exit point, meaning forklifts enter from one side only.
Drive-thru racking has entry points on both sides, allowing forklifts to enter from one side and exit from the other.
They maximize storage by reducing aisles and allowing deeper pallet stacking. This can increase storage density by up to 75% compared to selective racking.
These systems work best for large quantities of similar products, especially palletized goods with low SKU variety. Ideal for cold storage, food & beverage, and bulk inventory.
Drive-in racking typically follows LIFO (Last In, First Out) because pallets are loaded and removed from the same side.
Drive-thru systems can support FIFO (First In, First Out) due to access from both sides.
