This system is appropriate when limited spaces must take priority over load selectivity. The warehouse is managed on a LIFO (“last in, first out”) basis, and is ideal when the material being stored is homogeneous, not subject to scheduled rotation and has a low obsolescence index.
This structure generates a very dense storage layout. The trucks move inside the shelving to deposit their loads at the depth permitted by the available space, occupying the entire volume of the facility. An optimal performance rate obtained with this system, and the use of space may well exceed 80% of the possible total.
Also, its design makes it quick and easy to alter the layout of the structure to suit changing needs, extensions, transfers, load-level regulations, etc.
Drive-in pallet-storage shelving systems enable logistics managements to be a tightly ordered process, with total control of inventories and circulation and service flows.
