How Double Deep Racking Works

Double deep pallet racking is often referred to as deep store racking or 2 deep racking. Its works off the idea that the special reach forklift can access a pallet in the front position, but also extend its tines out to reach a pallet behind the front pallet. Exploiting the idea, you can utilise this function, essentially creating normal pallet racking, but 2 pallets deep.

Therefore, you can have 2 deep racking ‘back to back’ which allows you to store 4 pallets deep, and access 2 pallets from either side of the rack. This cuts down on the amount of aisles needed in the warehouse resulting on more storage capacity in the area.

Space Saving Rack Configuration

When trying to maximise your warehouse storage capacity, double deep racking is a really smart and cost effective way to do so. By having a forklift that can access 2 pallets deep you allow yourself to essentially double the amount pallets within a warehouse. How, you ask? Pallet racking and warehouse storage is all about optimising space, and aisles between pallet racks is a big use of space. So reducing the amount of aisles in your warehouse, instantly increases the usable space.

Double deep racking is very effective at storing same or similar goods. If your have numerous pallets of the same goods, then double deep racking should be on your radar.
