Double-Deep Racking

Double Deep is similar to selective racking; but pallets are now stored two rows deep instead of one. This type of racking therefore requires specialized pallet handling equipment using either a specialized forklift or a standard unit a with double deep handling attachment.

Advantages

• Increased storage capacity compared with Selective Racking
• Medium to low storage system.
• Can increase pallet storage by as much as 10-15% depending on racking layout.

Disadvantages

• Reduced SKU’s accessibility
• LIFO inventory management.
• Special trucks required.
