Double Deep Racking is a storage system that maximizes warehouse space utilization by allowing pallets to be stored two deep in a single bay. It is an extension of selective pallet racking, which is a common type of warehouse storage system.
In double deep racking, pallets are stored on beams, which are mounted onto vertical frames. The beams are positioned at a depth of two pallets, and the forklift truck must be able to reach the second pallet by driving through the first one. Therefore, double deep racking requires a specialized forklift with an extended reach mechanism like the ideally KOOI®ReachForks. Double deep racking is suitable for businesses that need to store large quantities of the same product and have enough space for the specialized forklifts required. It is commonly used in industries such as food and beverage, retail, and manufacturing.
