Q: What is double deep pallet racking?

Double deep pallet racking is a high-density storage system designed to store two pallets per bay—one positioned directly behind the other. This configuration effectively doubles the storage depth of standard selective racking within the same footprint.

Q: How does it compare to selective racking?

It offers a fundamental trade-off: Selective racking provides direct, immediate access to every single pallet , maximizing accessibility. In contrast, double deep racking prioritizes space efficiency , significantly reducing aisle space to store more pallets, at the cost of immediate access to the rear pallet.

Q: What are the benefits of double deep racking?

Its primary benefit is enhanced storage density . By reducing the number of aisles, it increases warehouse cube utilization and is ideal for storing a high volume of fewer SKUs . This makes operations more space-efficient.

Q: Is it suitable for high-turnover goods?

Typically, no . Its design is better suited for slow to medium-turnover inventory where immediate, selective access to every pallet is not constantly required. It prioritizes space savings over access speed.

Q: Can the system be customized for different pallet sizes?

Yes, it is highly customizable . The beam lengths and upright frame configurations can be engineered to accommodate specific pallet dimensions and weight capacities, ensuring optimal fit and safety for your inventory.

Q: Where does double deep racking fit among storage types?

Double deep racking sits between standard selective racking (highest accessibility) and even denser systems like drive-in or push-back racking . It offers a practical balance of improved density over selective racking while still using relatively standard reach trucks , making it a popular middle-ground choice.

Q: Does it require special forklifts?

Yes, proper equipment is critical. Operating a double deep system requires reach trucks with extended-reach forks capable of safely accessing and retrieving the second pallet. This is a key operational consideration and cost factor.

Q: How do I decide if double deep racking is right for my warehouse?

Follow this checklist: Inventory Profile: Do you have a high volume of fewer SKUs avec slow-to-medium turnover (LIFO acceptable)? Equipment & Cost: Are you prepared to use or acquire specialized reach trucks ? Space Goal: Is your primary objective to maximize storage density within a fixed area? Operations: Can your workflow accommodate the slight access delay for retrieving rear pallets? If you answer “yes” to most points, double deep racking warrants serious consideration. Consulting with a storage system specialist is the final, crucial step.

Fully Adjustable Double Deep Pallet Racking Systems

Double deep pallet racking solutions address the need for more storage depth in warehouses and storage facilities. This setup complements locations that manage large volumes of products with minimal variety, as it essentially doubles the storage space.

At iWarehousing, we place your need for efficient and reliable warehouse racking systems. We lead the market in designing, manufacturing, and assembling double deep pallet racks that go through strict quality inspections for long-term stability. The straightforward design and setup of our double deep pallet racking system allow warehouses to maximize their floor space and simplify inventory management.

Benefits of Our Double Deep Pallet Racking

Dual-Row Depth Storage

Stores two pallets deep per lane, increasing capacity compared to selective racks, maximizing limited warehouse space while maintaining forklift access.

High Accessibility

It combines depth storage with a front-loading design, so there are no complex LIFO restrictions like with drive-in systems.

Reach Truck Compatibility

Operates with standard narrow-aisle reach trucks or deep-reach forklifts, reducing fleet costs.

Rapid Reconfiguration

Boltless connectors and teardrop slots allow for quick beam adjustments for SKU changes.

Structural Resilience

Q235B steel frames and reinforced base plates prevent deflection at double-load stress points.

Balanced Cost Efficiency

Saves space compared to selective racks and has a lower setup cost than drive-in systems.

When and Where to Use Double Deep Pallet Racking

Maximize space and accessibility for medium-turnover goods without compromising operational speed.

Medium-density warehousing:
When storage density must increase, e.g., in urban distribution centers.
High-volume FMCG sectors:
Ideal for wholesale beverages, packaged foods, and electronics that require frequent front-pallet access.
Budget-conscious sectors:
Existing selective racks can be retrofitted to double-deep lanes, reusing 80% of the components.
Hybrid inventory needs:
For warehouses that store both fast-moving and slow-moving products in one zone.
Standard forklift operations:
Facilities that use reach trucks & deep-reach forklifts avoid drive-in's rail installation costs and freezer limitations.

It offers a fundamental trade-off: Selective racking provides direct, immediate access to every single pallet, maximizing accessibility. In contrast, double deep racking prioritizes space efficiency, significantly reducing aisle space to store more pallets, at the cost of immediate access to the rear pallet.

Factors Contributing to Improve Double Deep Racking

What are the benefits of double deep racking?

Its primary benefit is enhanced storage density. By reducing the number of aisles, it increases warehouse cube utilization and is ideal for storing a high volume of fewer SKUs. This makes operations more space-efficient.

Is it suitable for high-turnover goods?

Typically, no. Its design is better suited for slow to medium-turnover inventory where immediate, selective access to every pallet is not constantly required. It prioritizes space savings over access speed.

Is double deep racking a good option for FIFO operations?

It is not ideal for strict First-In-First-Out (FIFO) inventory management. Because the rear pallet is blocked by the front one, it naturally follows a Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) flow. For FIFO, consider pallet flow racking.

Can the system be customized for different pallet sizes?

Yes, it is highly customizable. The beam lengths and upright frame configurations can be engineered to accommodate specific pallet dimensions and weight capacities, ensuring optimal fit and safety for your inventory.

Does it require special forklifts?

Yes, proper equipment is critical. Operating a double deep system requires reach trucks with extended-reach forks capable of safely accessing and retrieving the second pallet. This is a key operational consideration and cost factor.

Can double deep racking be installed in existing warehouses?

Yes, retrofitting is possible but requires careful assessment. Key factors include: ensuring sufficient space and ceiling height for the new layout, verifying floor condition and strength, and confirming forklift compatibility (both the trucks and operator skill). A professional site audit is strongly recommended.
