Take your storage to the next level with a drive-in pallet racking system – a high-density storage solution
By eliminating multiple access aisles, these systems dramatically increase storage density, surpassing the direct access capability of standard Racks.
Offers improved management of inventory inputs and outputs. Reduces errors in picking inventory.
Store different types of products with different dimensions and shapes and organize them for better accessibility and control.
Tailored to accommodate specific pallet and trailer loader designs, ensuring a seamless fit with your drive-in and drive-through racking operations. Adjust according to the inventory size, weight, and height for optimal use of drive-thru pallet storage.
Access to the inventory from different sides for easy loading and unloading. Improve productivity and efficiency.
Keep your inventory safe with steel-made racking. Reduce product damage and improve the quality to get a competitive edge in the market.
Drive-In and Drive-Thru Racking Systems are the epitome of efficiency for storehouses storing large quantities of a few product types. Adopting this high-density storage system makes it possible to decrease the required square footage by 35% or more compared to traditional storage racks. Both Drive-In and Drive-Thru racks are designed with roll-formed steel, allowing products to be stored several pallets deep. This setup maximizes space and integrates smoothly with handling equipment, which enters the structure to place or retrieve pallets. setups.
In Southern Wisconsin, Matco has served our customers for over 75 years. Our two locations, totalling over 70,000 square feet, are centrally positioned to service all of North America. We were founded on a simple principle: give our customers a quality product at a fair price with top-notch customer service. After all these years, we still follow that simple principle. We also offer selective pallet racking, flow racks, and push-back racks.
Drive-in pallet racking is a high-density storehouse racking system designed to utilize the available space. It consists of multiple pallet storage lanes stored on horizontal rails to form blocks. Vertical frames support the rails.
You can increase or decrease the pallet deep according to your needs. The system works in a First-In, Last-Out (FILO) mechanism. That means the last pallet will be the first one to access. A forklift drives directly into the lane to place inventory pallets. The drive-through storage does not require aisles between every row of pallets, increasing the storage levels significantly.

The drive-in rack offers higher storage capacity by eliminating unnecessary aisles with multiple pallets in each lane. This is suitable for limited spaces. This is suitable for limited spaces and this is the key difference.
They are highly suitable for large volume yet low-sku applications. You can smoothly perform batch processing for a wide range of products. It is perfect for the food and beverage industry, cold storage, and manufacturing.
You can store 10+ pallets to store large quantities of the same products. It ensures smooth handling and control over bulk inventory, reducing the need for frequent restocking.
You can use both LIFO and FIFO stock rotation with drive-thru racking extension. Drive-in racks support the First In, First Out method for non-perishable items or products with low turnover rates. Drive-Thru supports First In, First Out for perishable goods or products with expiration dates.
By reducing aisle use, Drive-In Rack reduces the overall installation cost. Besides, it requires less lighting and climate control, greatly saving energy bills.
It is highly flexible and scalable to changes in inventory. You can easily accommodate the changes in sizes, weights, and quantities. It reduces the cost of installing new racks.
When SKU numbers increase, the drive-in rack system becomes vulnerable to honeycombing. This leads to the inefficient use of available spaces and increases operational costs.
Drive-in racking systems have limited accessibility, slowing down the retrieval process. Besides, you cannot store versatile SKUs.
The forklifts need to drive into the lanes in a drive-in pallet rack system. It increases the chances of collision and leads to structure damage. Frequent repair increases the cost of operation.
Precisetransportation of goods is required. It increases the operational complexity. The operation is also time-consuming and requires special training for forklift operators.
