Double Deep Racking Overview
A variation of single selective rack is double deep rack. Double deep rack is created by arranging two rows of single selective rack back to back. Utilizing a specialized lift truck with scissor reach capable of extending the depth of two pallets, lift operators will place the first pallet stored in the rear section of rack prior to filling the front section. Double deep reach trucks are narrow aisle capable reducing the amount of space require for servicing. This combination of storing double pallet density and reduce aisle width offers greater utilization of warehouse space up to 60% savings.
Consideration for use of double deep rack include: limited space availability, higher volume, and LIFO (Last In, First Out) inventory control.
