Double Deep Racking Systems New and Used

Flow-Rite inc. supplies both new double deep racking systems and used deep reach pallet racks.

Double Deep Racking stores two pallets deep, or four pallets deep in a double entry rack. Double entry racks reduce the aisle to rack ratio but also reduces pallet selectivity, increasing storage density.

50% immediate pallet access provides reasonable stock rotation on a FILO (First In Last Out) basis and makes good use of all available locations. This system is best used when each Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) has several pallets.

The system requires the use of a special reach truck with either dual pantograph or slide fork attachments.

Upper levels can be fitted with pallet safety bars to assist forklift drivers in locating pallets, they also help reduce fork truck operator error and accidental impact damage.

Advantages of Double Deep Pallet Racking

Modified reach trucks with the ability to stack two pallets deep operating in almost conventional reach
truck aisles store pallets in single entry racks. Back to back racks are four pallets deep. This reduces
the aisle to rack ratio but also reduces selectivity, (FILO). Truck lift heights limited by load, to about 9
meters.
Usually the upper levels have front to back rail guides to assist the driver locating the rear pallet at
height.
