Drive-in and drive-thru racking systems are built for maximum storage density, making them a top choice for warehouses where space is at a premium. These systems allow forklifts to enter directly into the rack structure to place or retrieve pallets, creating deep storage lanes that dramatically increase capacity compared to standard selective racking.

Drive-in racking follows a first-in, last-out (FILO) method, ideal for products with low turnover or large volumes of the same SKU. Drive-thru racking, by contrast, provides first-in, first-out (FIFO) access, perfect for time-sensitive inventory such as food and beverage or cold storage applications. While selectivity is reduced, the payoff is maximum cubic utilization — making drive-in/drive-thru systems a proven solution for high-volume, low-SKU operations that demand space efficiency.
