Drive-inand drive-through (sometimes spelled Drive-thru) are storage rack configurations that allow the forklift to drive directly into the lane of stacked rows (called a bay). The difference between a drive-in and a drive-thru pallet rack system is simply whether the bays have an entry at only one end, or at both ends. Drive-in rack systems use a common entry and exit, while drive-thru systems have entry points at either end of the bay. Because a drive-in racking system has only one entrance, it uses what is called a LIFO (last in, first out) storage method. With only one entrance, the last pallet put into a row is necessarily the first one to be taken out. A drive-thru storage system, with two different entry points, can also use a FIFO (first in, first out) storage method. With a FIFO system, pallets are loaded in one end and are pushed back to the other end, where they are then at the front of the row on the opposite side. The first pallet put into such a row is the first one taken out at the other end. This system is advantageous for material with an expiration date or wherever shelf life is a major concern.
Advantages:
1). Suitable for small variety but large quantity stored products, especially for standard goods;
2). Very high utility ratio of the warehouse;
3). Each aisle consists of several level of pallet support rail. Pallets are placed on pallet support rail one after another;
4). Forklifts operation alongside the aisle;
5). First-in-last-out access process, one side in/out or two side in/out can be met.
6). Top and back bracing are used to fix the whole racking, making the whole racking stable and safe;
7). First level pallets can be placed on the floor
