Versatile High Density Double Deep Pallet Racking System for Industrial Storage
The double-deep pallet racking system offers a higher storage density than selective racking, making double-deep racking the ideal solution for storing slightly larger quantities of the same SKU. This warehouse-racking solution is suitable for a wide range of product types, including food, beverage, hardware and products (among others), making it the choice of companies operating in a variety of industries.
Double-deep racking is typically applied with specially designed double-deep forklifts equipped with pantographs to reach the rear pallets. The double deep pallet racking requires the operator to remove the front pallet before accessing the rear pallet, making it more suitable for storing large quantities of the same items.
