Description

Double Deep Pallet Racking is a storage system that is halfway between adjustable pallet racking systems and compact storage systems.

In double deep pallet racking, the unit loads are stored mechanically by forklifts that move along the aisles arranged in parallel to the racking systems.

In this system, the pallets are stored at two depths, thus achieving higher storage density, while access to the pallets remains simple and relatively quick. Unlike adjustable pallet racking, in double deep pallet racking, the operator does not have direct access to all the pallets stored.

Double deep pallet racking must be used with special forklifts prepared for this type of system, equipped with telescopic forks or with an especially designed pantograph mechanism to correctly access the second pallet.

It is a highly efficient and robust system, with easy assembly and regulation of load levels. Furthermore, it is both adjustable pallet racking and racking perfectly adapted to goods of different weight or volume.

Advantages

Increase in storage capacity compared to adjustable pallet racking.
Access to the pallets continues to be simple and relatively quick, maintaining 50% immediate accessibility and reasonable rotation of goods.
System with a good use of all the available locations, generally above 80-90%.
Intermediate system between an adjustable pallet or selective racking system and a high-density compact system.
LIFO (Last in, First out) system, where the last pallet deposited on the racking will be the first one to leave.
More efficient system, which eliminates unnecessary aisles and increases the use of available space.
Double deep pallet racking systems adapt to any type of unit load.
As with adjustable pallet racking systems, the assembly and disassembly process and replacement of components is quick and simple.
Saves time and effort in the handling of unit loads, generating fast stock rotation.
The design of double deep pallet racking enables its reconfiguration or extension according to the storage needs that arise.
High level of safety thanks to the variety of accessories that it can incorporate.
The uprights and frames of AR Racking’s double deep pallet racking systems are pre-galvanised and include an innovative traceability system

Main applications of Double Deep Racking for Pallets:

Double deep pallet racking systems, due to their similarities to the adjustable pallet racking system, are a very versatile and adaptable solution to a wide range of storage needs.
However, their greater storage capacity and reduced accessibility to the unit loads make their application especially recommended for warehouses with the following characteristics:
Warehouses for products with more than one pallet per special storage unit.
Homogeneous or identical product warehouses.
Warehouses with stock with a medium or long-term useful life. It is not recommended for very perishable products since double deep pallet racking is a LIFO type system.
Warehouses with a high-performance stock management system where restricted access to all the pallets is not a problem.
Warehouses in which a balance is required between the accessibility or selectivity of the unit loads and the increase in storage capacity.

Quality and security

Double deep pallet racking systems comply with the strictest European safety standards, and also come with AR Racking’s quality and innovation guarantee.

5-year quality guarantee

Our confidence in the reliability of our double deep pallet racking solutions means we are able to offer 5-year quality guarantees against all types of manufacturing or hidden defects in the components of the main structure of our systems.

Traceability system

Since 2016, our double deep pallet racking systems have included a component traceability system.

The system consists of an identifying marker, which means knowing and having documented each component from source without needing to have the package label and therefore knowing the exact component, how it was designed or what raw material was used in its manufacture.

100% automated manufacture

The production process of our industrial racking systems is fully automated: it incorporates latest generation profiling machines with continuous cutting process and laser measurement control, welding centres, painting and packaging processes, all fully automated, guaranteeing the highest quality parameters.

Designs in R&D&I Centre

The structures of our storage systems are designed in our technology centre dedicated to R&D&i activities, as well as in collaboration with the advanced engineering projects development area, which allows us to respond appropriately to more demanding logistical requirements.

Tests at Research and Testing Laboratory

At our Research and Testing Laboratory created in collaboration with the University of Mondragón, our technical area continuously tests and analyses products and materials to improve our double deep pallet racking systems.

It also simulates, calculates and researches the efficacy of the geometries, and makes full structural calculations on the behaviour of the systems already installed in different situations.
