Is the through-type rack (first-in-first-out) suitable for use in logistics warehouses?

Drive-in racking, also known as drive-in racking or through-type racking, is a high-density storage system that can be designed with goods in either first-in-first-out or first-in-last-out. Is the through-type rack (first-in, first-out) suitable for use in logistics warehouses? Let's find out below.

suitable. Through-type racking adopts a channel-free design, allowing forklifts to directly enter the interior of the racking for operations. The space utilization rate is as high as 75% to 85%. For warehouses with high storage capacity requirements, through-type racking is the first choice. Its FIFO management is implemented through a single-sided access design. Goods are stored at one end and retrieved from the other end, ensuring that the goods with the longest storage time are dispatched first.

In high-value logistics cold chain warehousing, space utilization is of vital importance, and a through-design can significantly reduce the unit storage cost. However, the first-in, first-out through-type racking has certain requirements for the specifications of the goods, that is, the specifications of the goods or the pallets should be uniform. It is especially suitable for the storage of large quantities of goods with few varieties and those sensitive to expiration dates. The size, load-bearing capacity, number of floors, etc. can all be customized according to the requirements.
