About Drive-In and Drive-Thru

Drive-in and drive-thru racking systems provide the highest density storage for bulk inventory with the same SKU. Forklifts drive directly into the rack structure to load and retrieve pallets from rails. Drive-in (single entry) provides LIFO storage, while drive-thru (entry from both ends) enables FIFO rotation. These systems maximize cube utilization for warehouses with limited SKUs and high volume per SKU.

Frequently Asked Questions

Drive-in racking has one entry point - forklifts enter from one end only, creating a LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) system. Drive-thru has entry points at both ends, allowing FIFO (First-In, First-Out) inventory rotation since pallets can be loaded from one end and retrieved from the other.
