Double-deep Pallet Rack Storage systems are selective pallet racking solutions which are installed two racks deep and are operated in medium aisles with trucks that can reach double pallet depths.

A double-deep pallet racking storage solution offers businesses a space-efficient alternative to standard pallet racking by reducing the number of access aisles required while increasing storage density.

Double-deep Pallet Racking Storage systems results in Last-In First-Out (LIFO) access; 50% of goods are behind pallets when storage locations are at full capacity.

An efficient and up-to-date stock inventory system helps users of double-deep pallet racking to take advantage of their increased storage density.
