Double Deep pallet racking is a special type of Selective racking, created by two racks set up back to back creating the double deep pallet storage system.
It is used in warehouses to increase storage efficiency and pallet density.
Double Deep pallet racking includes 6 basic details:
| Pallet (mm) | 800 x 1200 | 1000 x 1200 | 1200 x 1000 |
| Forklift Entry (mm) | 800 | 1000 | 1200 |
| Beam Standard | 2700 | 2300 | 2700 |
| No.of Pallet/Layer | 3 | 2 | 2 |
- Load: ≥ 500 kg/ Pallet.
- The rate of accessibility to individual pallets: 50%.
- Being designed under EN 15.512: 2009 (FEM Standards).
- The entire system is powder coated according to European standards.
Double Deep pallet racking system
- Using special forklifts to take the pallets deep in the racks.
- Increasing storage capacity compared with Selective Racking.
- The investment cost of the Double Deep racking is approximately Selective racking's.
- A pallet is placed behind the other towards the back of the pallet rack.
- The staff must take the outside pallet before taking the one inside.
To reach the second unit, the first pallet has to be moved “Last in – First out – (LIFO)”.
Aisles - Forklifts - Cargo
- Increasing cargo space and reducing required aisle width.
- Load and height limits of the system depend on the capacity of the forklift.
- The forklift has telescopic forks or pantographs which allow access to the second depth.
