Why NIMAR Drive-in Shelving from the Verkolf Group?
Like shuttle racking, NIMAR drive-in racking is ideal for warehouses with limited product diversity on pallets. It’s ideal for storing large numbers of pallets containing similar items. Drive-in racking consists of channels where pallets are stored. This design creates high storage density in the warehouse and is therefore particularly suitable for bulk goods.
For drive-in racking, we use the LI-FO (last in, first out) storage method. Are you using FI-FO? That’s also possible!
NNZ improved the logistics layout of its warehouse in Rilland with new custom-made shelving that caters to growth and modernization.
Safety in Drive-in Racking
Pallet trucks are driven into the racking system using a reach truck or forklift. It’s important to align the internal transport equipment with the width of the aisle. A pallet rack warehouse—with drive-in or drive-through racking—uses the same support frames and beams as shuttle racking. The difference lies in the aisles between the rows. The support frames are placed in a single row and connected by gutters. Bracing at the back and top of the drive-in racking system provides optimal stability and strength.
With drive-in racking, a reach truck or forklift truck drives into the racking system and deposits pallets in a channel. This makes both the truck and the racking system vulnerable. To prevent damage to the truck and the racking system, good impact protection is crucial. Cor Verkolf bv installs all impact protection at ground level along the entire length of a channel. This ensures optimal safety for the drive-in racking system!
