Drive in Racking System (AR Drive In)

Description

The Drive in Racking System (AR Drive In) is a high density storage solution that maximizes available space and height in the warehouse by reducing the forklift operating aisles. Drive in Racking System (AR Drive In) is made up of an easy-to-assemble and -reset modular structure, which makes it easy to maintain.

Compact racking can be either Drive in racking, with only one access aisle, where the last load in is the first one out, or Drive through racking, with an entrance and exit, where the first load in is the first one out.

It is the optimal and most common pallet storage system when you need to store homogeneous products with a large number of pallets of the same reference.

This compact system is appropriate where space utilisation is more important than selectivity of stored loads.

Advantages

The main advantages of Drive in or Drive through compact pallet racking systems are their maximum compaction and optimisation of space and perfect stock control.

• Space optimization above 80%.
• Low maintenance and low assembly costs make this system one of the most cost-effective systems.
• Structure compatible with other storage systems.
• Provides maximum performance, and utilisation can be over 80% of the available space.
• Enables clearly arranged logistics management with full control of inventories as well as traffic and service flow.
• Designed to allow for quick reconfiguration of the structure for extension or change as needed.
• Ideal for storing low-rotation loads of the same type.
• Eliminates the service aisles found with a conventional pallet racking system.
• Maximised storage floor and height.
• Easily assembled modular structure.
• Trucks enter the system for loading.
• Includes various accessories to increase safety.
• Maximisation of space
• Products of the same type
• Low stock rotation

Main applications of VNA Very Narrow Aise Pallet Racking:

• Warehouses with reduced available space or with a high cost per square metre of the floor area, making it necessary to fully optimise this space.
• Need to store homogeneous products with a large number of pallets of the same reference, and with a low turnover.
• Warehouses for non-perishable merchandise and whose time in stock is not relevant, as with the Drive in racking system (LIFO Management).
• Warehouses for perishable products as with the Drive through racking system (FIFO Management).
• Warehouses where direct access to the unit loads is not required.
• Warehouses with cold stores or freezing chambers, due to the need for compaction and space optimisation for a correct temperature distribution and cost savings.

Quality and security

Drive in and Drive through pallet racking solutions comply with the strictest European safety standards, and also come with AR Racking’s quality and innovation guarantee.

5-year quality guarantee

The reliability of our compact 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 racking solutions.

Pioneering component traceability system

Since 2016, our compact pallet racking uprights have included a component traceability system.

With this system, the various above-mentioned elements have an identifying mark, which means being able to trace and document each upright without needing the package label, and therefore knowing which component it is, its design and what raw material has been used in its manufacture.

100% automated production

Our industrial racking component production process is fully automated: it incorporates state-of-the-art profiling machines with a continuous cutting process and laser measurement control, welding centres and automated painting and packaging processes, which guarantee the highest quality parameters.

Designs in R&D&I Centre

Both our Drive in and Drive through compact storage systems are designed in our exclusive R&D&I technology centre and supported by the advanced engineering project development area, allowing us to respond suitably to the most demanding logistics requirements.

Tests at Research and Testing Laboratory

With the creation of our Research and Testing Laboratory in collaboration with the University of Mondragón, our product area continuously tests and analyses products to improve our drive in and drive through compact pallet racking systems; it simulates, calculates and researches (with specialist software) the efficacy of the geometries, and makes full structural calculations on the behaviour of the systems already installed in different situations.
