Double Deep Pallet Racking

Double deep racking is a type of shelving derived from beam pallet racks;  Heavy duty racks are designed to be stored side by side in double rows and can store two pallets in one depth direction. The goods are placed side by side along the depth of the shelving, and a straddle reach forklift with retractable fork should be used to storage and take back goods. Under the same area of warehouse, it’s storage capacity can be increased by up to 30%.

Features: The double deep pallet racking system is derived from heavy-duty beam shelving. It has a simple structure and high storage capacity and can effectively alleviate storage volume that ordinary heavy duty racking cannot meet. This type of racks is more suitable for tobacco, food and beverage, packaging and other industries.

The height of beam is relatively low and machinery can lift goods up to 8 meters. Circulation speed of goods is average and it is suitable for warehouses with low pickup rates. Compared to standard pallet racking systems, when using a double-depth pallet racking system, two pallets can be stored in depth. When taking rear pallets, you should use a special forklift that can reach into the shelving system.  Same cost, higher storage density. Height of the shelving is limited by the lifting height of the forklift, which is generally 6-8 meters. The width of the forklift aisle needs to be about 3.3 meters. Special forward-moving forklifts (some called three-way forklifts) are used in high-rise warehouses for operations. The forks of stacker generally are level-5 forks;

During design, the number of aisles is reduced, meanwhile, the number of shelving increased, and the cargo storage capacity is double that of ordinary beam shelves; the construction cost of each cargo space is the lowest one among all three-dimensional warehouse systems.

Diamond-hole Uprights:

It adopts a double-row diamond-shaped hole design, and the diamond-shaped holes are reasonably plugged into the kit on the crossbeam, making it easier to disassemble or connect. Safety pins can also be added to fix it more firmly. Customers can adjust the height at will according to their needs.

 Scope of Application:

Heavy duty double deep rack can increase storage capacity by 75% compared to ordinary beam shelving, however, there are also some shortcomings. For example, when handling goods in the back row, those goods in the front row can only be removed before the operation can be carried out. Double deep racks cannot achieve first-in-first-out when picking products, and can only be first- in-last-out. In order to improve rate of utilization, it is generally necessary to consider Piling up the back row shelving first and then the front row racks when stocking. For double deep pallet racking, in order to facilitate the storage and retrieval of goods, it is usually necessary to install two forklift -guiding- rails on each pallet position to guide the entry of the fork tines.

Warehouses Equipped with Double-depth Racks

Logistics: Logistics companies need to store a large amount of goods, especially products with the same specifications. Double deep racking can help logistics companies increase cargo storage density, reduce costs, and also improve the efficiency of goods entering and exiting of warehouse.

E-commerce: E-commerce companies need to store a large number of products, especially some best selling products. Double-depth shelves can help e-commerce companies improve cargo storage efficiency, reduce warehousing costs, and at the same time improve turnover speed of cargo.

Applicable to special environments such as cold storage and refrigerated storage: Double-depth shelving can adapt to special environments such as cold storage environment to ensure the quality and safety of goods.

Manufacturing industry: Manufacturing industry needs to store a large amount of raw materials and finished products, and different manufacturing industries need to store different types of goods. Double-depth racks can provide personalized storage solutions for the manufacturing industry based on special needs and improve storage efficiency.

Electronics industry: There are many types of electronic products and huge storage requirements. Double-deep racking greatly increase the density of storage of electronic products, save warehouse area, and reduce operating costs. At the same time, the storage method can ensure the safety and stability of electronic products and avoid damage or loss of products.

Pharmaceutical industry: First of all, the pharmaceutical industry has very high requirements for the storage of drugs and needs to ensure the quality and safety of drugs. Double-deep racks can greatly increase the storage density of medicines, save warehouse area, and at the same time ensure the quality and safety of medicines.

The pharmaceutical industry needs to store a large number of drugs and medical devices, and different drugs and medical devices require different storage environments. Double-depth shelves can provide personalized storage solutions for the pharmaceutical industry according to different storage needs, ensuring the quality and safety of drugs and medical devices.

Automation equipment: Double deep racks meet the requirements of storing and taking out goods through automated equipment, saving labor costs and improving work efficiency.

Food and beverage processing industry: the food and beverage processing industry usually stores goods in large quantities, and double deep shelving can greatly increase the storage density of food, save warehouse area, and at the same time ensure the freshness, hygiene and safety of food.

Differences from conventional heavy-duty pallet racks

Ordinary pallet racks

1. Using pallets, storage cages or other unit equipment to assemble the goods and store them on racks.

2. It is one of the commonly used racks and is suitable for most warehouses or products.

3. The handling machines can reach any location for operations, with 100% selectivity and convenient for handling goods.

4. Using mechanical equipment for storage operations makes high work efficiency, short operating time, and low labor intensity for employees.

5. The length is within 4m, the depth within 1.5m, and the height is usually within 12m.

6. According to the space requirements of goods of different sizes, workers can freely adjust the spacing between tiers of heavy-duty racks, with each adjustment being 75mm.
