Warehouse Economic Double Deep Pallet Rack System for High-Density
Storage
Double deep pallet racking is a derivative of selective pallet
racking, the double-deep system requires the use of a specialist
forklift truck or an attachment mounted on a forklift truck.
Although achieving an increase in capacity of up to 30% or more
before, only 50% of the pallets are immediately accessible. This
system offers a great way to increase warehouse capacity or when an
alternative system is not possible.
With Ironstone's double deep pallet racking system, products can be
stored up to four pallets deep, allowing quick dispatch of large
pallets of similar size. For higher storage densities, stock
remains easily accessible and relatively quick to pick.
Advantages of double deep pallet rack | Medium to low storage system |
Floor level is not critical (front-loaded) |
Disadvantages of double deep pallet rack | Loss of storage locations as only same SKU can be stored in front
storage positions |
Recommended storage loss allowance 15-20% |
LIFO inventory management |
Limited storage height (10m) |
Special trucks required |
Poor visibility of rear upper storage levels |
Reduced through-put rates when compared with Reach Trucks |
Features and Benefits of Double Deep Pallet Racking System:
- A compromise between selective pallet racking and high-density
pallet racking systems.
- Higher storage densities can be achieved while goods remain easily
accessible and relatively quick to pick up.
- Products can be stored up to four pallets deep.
- Allows quick dispatch of large pallets of similar size.
- First-in, last-out storage order (FILO).
- Increases capacity by approximately 30% compared to selective
pallet racking system.
Features of Double Deep Pallet Racking System:
- Double-deep racking stores two pallets deep in a single-entry rack
or four pallets deep in a double-entry rack.
- This system requires the use of special reach trucks with double
pantographs or sliding fork attachments.
- Double-deep racking increases storage density with fewer aisles and
more storage positions. This reduces the aisle-to-shelf ratio but
also reduces selectivity (FIFO).
- The height of the truck lift is limited by the load, approximately
9 meters.
- The upper level can be fitted with front and rear rails to help the
operator position and place the pallets at the right height. The
bottom beam must be sufficiently far from the floor to allow the
forklift legs to pass underneath.
Double deep pallet racking is the first step in increasing the
density of a storage system and as the cost per pallet position is
close to that of selective racking, the density is affordable. With
the assistance of some quality planning and or warehouse management
systems, most facilities are able to manage an average fill rate of
close to 85%.
When selecting a double-deep pallet racking system, careful
consideration needs to be given to the width of the aisles and the
length of the beams to ensure that productivity is maintained. When
the correct design is combined with modern and efficient double
Reach equipment, double deep is often the best choice for the
highest-capacity warehouse facilities.
