Predominantly utilised for cold, chill and bulk storage, Drive-In Racking provides very high storage density whilst separating pallets prone to damage from crushing.
Drive- In Racking is frequently used in facilities with a low number of product lines. Pallets are stored in a block configuration with two blocks generally served by one operating aisle. The trucks drive into the racking to load or retrieve pallets which are stored on pallet rails running front to depth within the system. The first pallet in, is the last pallet out - unless a Drive through system is deployed whereby pallets can be loaded or retrieved from either side.
A perfect example of a Stakapal Drive-In Racking installation is at British Cheese Champions Joseph Heler, who have manufactured Cheese for over 50 years. In turn, Stakapal have over the last 15 years designed specified, manufactured and installed bespoke storage solutions for all of Heler's cheese maturing cold stores.
The implementation of Drive-In Racking proves extremely beneficial to companies such as Joseph Heler as :

The implementation of Drive-In Racking proves extremely beneficial to companies such as Joseph Heler as :
- High Density Storage maximises cubic space with a greater number of pallets stored per cubic metre than any other storage system.
- Low stock rotation is ideal for seasonal goods and fluctuating stock demand.
- It is ideal for cold, chill storage and bulk storage applications.
- It is suitable for easily damaged or fragile goods which cannot be bulk stacked.
Having developed a unique understanding of the highly logistical demands of the food production sector, Stakapal were pleased to be awarded the contract for Heler's 4th Cheese manufacturing cold store at their Nantwich site. This project required Drive-In Pallet Racking with frame heights in excess of 6m and depths of over 8m. Each lane was designed to carry 8,000 kgs per level giving them the capacity for the storage of over 600 pallets. A further 20 bays with frame heights again in excess of 6m and with depths of 3m carrying 3000kgs per level provided the capacity to store a further 200 pallets. Stakapal's SR 2000 series Drive-In Racking is ideally suited for cheese storage where batches of product are required to be stored for similar periods of times.
