2. What Is a Double Deep Pallet Racking System? • A double deep pallet racking system is a storage system often employed in warehouses for an increase in pallet density and storage efficiency. This racking system usually consists of two regular selective racks assembled in a back-to-back design, which creates the double deep pallet rack.

3. How Does It Work? • A double deep pallet racking system is a combination of standard racking components with a dedicated forklift truck attachment, which doubles the storage and removes the number of aisles needed in comparison to a standard single-deep rack.

4. Important Features of Double Deep Pallet Racking Systems • Doubles the Density of Racking Between the Aisles • Reduces Space Needed for Aisles • Cost-Effective Storage System with Low Maintenance • Well-Suited for Medium SKUs with Large Quantities • Large Orders/Batches Get Dispatched Fast

5. Doubles the Density of Racking Between the Aisles • Standard racks are usually accessible from both sides, which leaves some idle spaces on both edges. While the spaces are usually left to prevent the products from falling off, they could actually amount to a row of pallets if added up. By setting up a double deep pallet system, you can use the space that would otherwise be left wasting on both edges and even double the density of racking between the aisles.

6. Reduces Space Needed for Aisles • Using a double deep pallet racking system means you wouldn’t need as many aisles as you normally would. This can help increase pallet positions by as much as 15% without needing to compromise forklift lanes.

7. Cost-Effective Storage System with Low Maintenance • The reach mechanism used is one of the major differences between standard racking and double deep racking. Since a selective racking system allows for dual access, it is usually paired with a pantograph reach system, which is more expensive because of its complex mechanism. On the other hand, a double deep racking system only needs the telescopic reach system, which is more basic and less expensive.

8. Well-Suited for Medium SKUs with Large Quantities • Since the double deep pallet racking system only allows access from one side, it is perfect for companies that store a limited range of products in large quantities.

9. Large Orders/Batches Get Dispatched Fast • Reducing the number of aisles and increasing the pallet positions allows for faster handling time, and as a result, large orders get dispatched quickly. Besides, forklifts are able to access two pallet positions, which doubles inventory access and minimizes forklift movement.

10. When Should You Choose Double-Deep Pallet Racking? • The double deep pallet racking system could come in handy in a wide range of applications. Are you looking for a way to be able to hold more products in your warehouse? Do you usually store the same type of product? If you answered yes to those questions, then you probably need the double-deep pallet racking system. It could also be a great choice if you often store longer items like metal pipes, flooring, or carpet. Reference: https://rack.ca/things-should-know-about-double-deep-pallet-racking-systems/
