Through-type racking, also known as drive-in racking or through-aisle racking, employs a pallet-based storage and retrieval system and is ideally suited for storing goods with a limited product variety but large batch sizes. With the exception of the bays closest to the aisle—where forklifts must enter the rack to retrieve and store items—the recommended maximum depth for single-sided access is typically no more than seven pallet positions. To enhance forklift throughput, guide rails can be installed as needed. Compared with selective racking, through-type (drive-in) racking can increase warehouse space utilization by more than 30%, making it widely used in cold-storage facilities as well as in the food and tobacco industries.
