Double Deep Pallet Racking is an upgraded variant of Selective Racking, designed by pairing two Selective racking rows back-to-back, creating double-depth rack lanes. This solution increases storage density by up to 30-40% compared to traditional Selective racking, while maintaining reasonable investment costs and high durability.
At Vinatech Group – Vietnam’s leading reputable warehouse racking manufacturer – we provide high-quality Double Deep Racking, made from standard steel with electrostatic powder coating for rust resistance. The system is custom-designed according to your business’s load requirements and warehouse space.
Structure of Double Deep Racking
The structure of Double Deep Racking is similar to Selective Racking but optimized for double depth, ensuring robustness and operational safety:
- Upright frames: Primary load-bearing components, robust Omega profile, premium steel thickness, featuring multiple punched holes for flexible beam level adjustment.
- Beams: Connect between upright frames, directly support pallets, secured with anti-fall safety clips.
- Bracing: Horizontal and diagonal braces link the uprights, enhancing overall system stability for deep rack lanes.
Pallet support bars or guide rails: Placed on beams to ensure stable pallet movement and prevent misalignment during loading/unloading with forklifts.
Column protectors and safety barriers: Installed at rack bases, aisle ends, and high-risk impact zones to protect frames from forklift collisions.
The entire system uses modular bolted assembly, making it easy to expand, adjust, and maintain.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Double Deep Racking
Advantages:
- Increases storage density by 30-40% compared to Selective Racking, reduces the number of aisles, and optimizes warehouse space.
- Cost per pallet position is more economical than fully automated systems (Flow Rack, Drive-in, etc.).
- Robust structure with excellent heavy-load performance, suitable for high-capacity warehouses.
- Easy installation, beam adjustment, and future expansion.
Disadvantages:
- Pallet accessibility is only about 50% (outer pallets must be removed first to reach inner ones).
- Requires specialized Reach Trucks, resulting in higher equipment investment costs.
- Not suitable for short-shelf-life goods or strict FIFO requirements.
- Demands precise operating procedures to avoid blockages or collisions.
Applications
- Double Deep Racking is particularly suitable for warehouses needing high storage density while keeping costs under control:
- Cold storage and chilled warehouses: Optimizes refrigeration capacity by reducing aisles and increasing pallets per area – top choice for food, seafood, and pharmaceutical cold storage.
- Heavy industrial warehouses: Storage of large-volume, uniform components and production raw materials.
- Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG): Ideal for high-volume, low-SKU batches with longer shelf life.
- Paper and packaging warehouses: Storage of large identical paper rolls or packaging bundles, compact and space-efficient.
- Electronic component distribution warehouses: Storing spare parts or pre-assembly products in large pallet quantities per SKU.
