Double Deep Racking

For the storage of multiple pallet quantities of the same product and the system is space efficient due to the reduced number of access aisles.

What Is Double Deep Pallet Racking?

Double deep pallet racking is a system that enables two rows of pallets to be stored back to back, which offers significantly greater storage density and more efficient use of space than traditional pallet racking configurations.

As pallets are stored in a two deep configuration, the number of access aisles within a warehouse can be reduced. The space saved by requiring less aisles means that additional racking can be accomodated in the available floor space. This enables a double deep racking configuration to offer a highly space-efficient storage system operating on a first in, last out (FILO) system.

Although the speed of access to all of the pallet positions is restricted, as pallets closest to the access point will need to be removed in order to access pallets on the second row, an efficient stock management system can easily compensate and enable businesses to achieve increased productivity by taking advantage of the increased storage density.

Benefits Of Double Deep Racking

Double deep racking is perfect for businesses wishing to achieve increased storage capacity from the space available. Benefits of this system include:

• Significant increase in storage capacity over standard racking configuration
• Reduces need to expand or relocate facilities to achieve increased storage
• Efficient stock control of same/similar items
• Multi-tier configuration enables efficient usage of available height

Features & Applications Of Double Deep Racking

Double deep racking is the perfect choice where space is at a premium within a warehouse, or where high volumes of throughput mean that the available space needs to be used as effectively as possible. 

The configuration of this racking system means that it is best suited to storing and processing multiples of the same product, either where there will be a fast turnaround of all items stored, or where time stored is not an issue, such as for non-perishable items.

Double deep pallet racking can be installed to make the most of the space available within a warehouse through the use of multiple levels, offering a highly storage dense solution. With fewer access aisles required, usable floor space is effectively doubled and pallets can be accessed more quickly.

Due to the depth of double deep racking, specialist fork lift trucks with either extending forks or side forks are required. This is something to consider, particularly when installing into an existing operation, as existing forklift trucks may be unsuitable. However, the cost of new equipment can be offset by the significant improvements in capacity and productivity that a more efficient storage system provides.

For completely new racking and forklift installations, double deep racking is highly recommended as an option to achieve maximum storage efficiency.
