What is Drive-In Pallet Racking?
Drive-in racking is a form of pallet racking that incorporates large openings to allow for easy forklift access. It’s simultaneously compact and space efficient while allowing stock to be easily reached by your existing forklift fleet.

Drive-in:
- LIFO (Last In, First Out)
- Single end access
- High density
Drive-through:
