Double Deep Racking

Double deep racking is a high-density storage solution that allows pallets to be stored at two depths in a single row. This system effectively increases storage capacity while keeping accessibility to the pallets.

In double deep racking, pallets are stored two deep, accessible from the same aisle. Specialised forklifts with telescopic forks or pantograph mechanisms are used to reach the second pallet, optimising space utilisation.

Double deep racking increases storage density, reduces the number of aisles needed, and allows for efficient stock management. It is especially useful for businesses with a large volume of identical products.

Double deep racking is ideal for homogeneous products that are not time-sensitive, such as building materials, non-perishable goods, or items with a long shelf life and consistent turnover rates.

No, double deep racking requires specialised forklifts equipped with telescopic forks or pantograph extensions to access pallets stored in the deeper positions.

Yes, double deep racking systems are designed for flexibility. They can be adjusted to accommodate different pallet sizes and weights, optimising overall storage efficiency. This adjustment will need to be done through a design check and with trained installers, contact us to discuss any pallet racking adjustments

The system uses safety features such as backstops, mesh panels, and protective components to minimise the risk of pallet falling and other accidents, ensuring a safer working environment.

The load capacity varies depending on the specific design and components used. Standard double deep racks can support heavy loads, but it is essential to verify load ratings with the manufacturer.

Double deep racking can increase storage capacity by up to 50% compared to standard selective racking systems, as it reduces the number of access aisles needed for operation.

Regular inspections are necessary to check for any signs of wear or damage, ensuring that components are secure and operational. It’s advisable to have inspections conducted by qualified personnel, in line with SEMA guidance.

Yes, double deep racking can often be integrated into existing warehouse layouts, offering a customisable approach to enhancing storage efficiency without the need for significant structural changes.
