Double Deep Pallet Metal Rack For Cold Storage Applications

Customized Cost-Effective Double Deep Pallet Rack Systems For Industrial Storage

Double-deep system is a variation of single-deep, using standard selective racking components to store products two-pallet-deep (or four deep in a double entry rack).  Allowing for two to four pallets deep storage space while eliminating an aisle between two storage racks. This increased pallet storage density brings both the increased storage efficiency and reduced pallet accessibility compared to selective pallet racks.

For double-deep racking system, the front pallet position must be empty in order to reach the rear pallet load. Usually, two times handling is necessary unless pallets are stored on a fast-in/first-out basis. To make full use of this storage system, some special deep- reach lift trucks are required to handle loads with high volumes and single-SKU. 

Warehouse racks details

► High storage density

Cutting some aisles of selective pallet rack and adding more racks, double deep pallet rack utilizes the warehouse space to gain a denser storage structure. 

► Adjustable and flexible 

Double deep pallet rack is available in a variety of heights, depths, bay lengths and capacities, which all make double deep system adjustable and flexible.

► High product throughput 

With reasonable stock rotation and selectivity, double deep pallet rack has become a very popular choice in high throughput operations for products requiring no instant access.

► Economical storage solution

Double deep pallet rack is economical in saving warehouse investment and expanding storage space. Compared to other denser storage solution, the cost of double deep components is relatively lower.

► Requiring double-deep reach truck for deep product handling with additional forklifts investment. 

► Only 50% product selectivity and accessibility.

► Same items are required at the same storage level with Last-in/First-out(LIFO) stock rotation principle. 

► Increased difficulty for inner and upper pallet positions operation.

► Limited storage height(10m)

Anyway, double-deep is a compromise between product selectivity and storage density in pallet racking system. So if you do need a proper balance between storage volume and selectivity, double deep pallet racking system maybe a good choice you can consider.

In industrial application, double deep pallet rack systems are commonly seen in cold warehouse storage for their durability and cost-saving.
