- You want more positions than selective without moving to drive-in
- You have two or more pallets of the same SKU per position
- You have a double-reach forklift (or can get one)
- Every pallet is a different SKU → Selective Rack
- Many pallets of a single SKU → Drive-In
- Strict FIFO → Pallet Flow Rack
Key benefits
- More capacity without losing selectivity
Greater storage capacity than a conventional selective system, with access to every lane.
- Faster maneuvers than drive-in
Equal or better volume than a drive-in, with quicker loading and unloading from the aisle.
- Fewer aisles
Intermediate aisles are removed and the warehouse floor is used better.
- Accessory compatible
Wire decks, anti-fall netting, upright and frame protectors and crossbars.
More positions on the same floor area
This system has the great advantage of reducing the number of aisles needed for storage, considerably optimizing the space used and also increasing storage capacity. Like the selective rack, the double deep is the optimal solution for warehouses handling palletized products.
How it works
Each face has two pallet positions in depth. The first is loaded and unloaded as in a selective rack; the second requires a double-reach forklift. That is why it is best to group each lane by SKU: the front pallet comes out before the rear one.
How it is configured
- Frames from 72″ to 396″ high, in pairs to form the double depth.
- Step beams from 48″ to 144″ long, with adjustable levels.
- Safety accessories: wire decks, anti-fall netting, upright and frame protectors.
The load capacity per level is calculated for each project and delivered in the data sheet with the engineered quote.

Frequently asked questions
Which forklift does a double deep rack need?
A double-reach forklift or one with telescopic forks to place and retrieve the pallet in the second position.
How much capacity is gained versus a selective rack?
It depends on the layout: removing intermediate aisles usually gains positions on the same floor area. Engineering calculates it with the dimensions of your building and pallet.
Is it compatible with palletized products of different SKUs?
Yes, as long as each two-position lane holds the same SKU; the first pallet is removed before the second (LIFO per lane).
