The working principle of the drive-in rack system is as follows: Among pallet rack systems, the drive-in system provides maximum storage capacity while minimizing space utilization. However, it supports the storage of very large quantities of the same product.
The loading and unloading process is easily carried out with forklifts that smoothly enter the racks. The Drive-in system, with its sliding mechanism, allows independent movement of products. The term "Drive-in" also defines its operational model, emphasizing its accessibility. Designed for the storage of homogeneous products, this system retrieves the first or last item stored for efficient inventory management. It is used in businesses dealing with seasonal products like canned goods and companies that maintain stock. Additionally, it offers convenience in sectors such as food, chemicals, logistics, raw materials, and cold storage facilities.

Drive-in rack systems, operating based on the logic of loading and unloading, are safely used with guide rails. Stow enhances the efficiency of this system with high-visibility foot profiles and guide rails. It performs at its best with auxiliary equipment. Accessories for the system include legs, pallet rails, top beams, support arms, pallet entry, guide rail, guide rail entry, rear stopper, and crossbeam. This rack model comes in single and double Drive-in racks, as well as drive-through types. Choosing the appropriate Drive-in type based on warehouse type, condition, and product characteristics enhances overall operational performance.
