About Double Deep Racking

Double deep racking stores pallets two deep on each side of the aisle, effectively doubling your storage density compared to selective racking while still providing good selectivity. This system requires a reach truck with extended forks or a double-deep reach truck to access the back pallet. It's an excellent middle-ground between selective racking and high-density systems like drive-in or push back.
