GLOBAL Double deep racking is created by placing 2 doublesided runs together.Pallets are stored 2 deep and are accessed usingspecial trucks with pantograph or telescopic forks..Greater use of floor space by reducingnumber of access aisles Increased storage capacity.

Double Deep Pallet Racking refers to a warehouse storage system that builds upon the traditional Selective Pallet Racking to increase storage density. Here's a detailed explanation of Double Deep Pallet Racking:

Structure and Function:

• Frame Structure: Similar to Selective Pallet Racking, Double Deep Racking consists of vertical uprights and horizontal beams, but each rack aisle can accommodate two pallets deep. Each pallet position typically requires two beams for support.

• Pallet Storage: Each aisle can store two pallets deep, meaning there is a pallet behind the front one, and to access the rear pallet, the front one must be removed. Therefore, storing and retrieving goods usually requires a long-reach or telescopic forklift.

Characteristics:

• Increased Storage Density: Compared to Selective Pallet Racking, Double Deep Racking can store more pallets in the same space because each aisle can hold two pallets deep.

• Reduced Selectivity: While storage density is increased, the selectivity of accessing each pallet is reduced since the rear pallet can only be accessed after moving the front one.

• Cost Efficiency: Since the structure is similar to Selective Pallet Racking, installation and maintenance costs are comparable, but the increased storage density allows for greater inventory capacity without significantly increasing costs.

Applicable Scenarios:

• Medium Batch with Multiple Varieties: Suitable for situations where there are medium quantities of the same item in stock, but not every item needs to be accessed frequently.

• Cost-Sensitive Warehouses: An economical choice for warehouses looking to increase storage capacity without a substantial investment in infrastructure.

Advantages:

• Higher Storage Density: Provides higher storage density than Selective Racking, which is particularly useful in space-constrained warehouses.

• Cost-Effectiveness: Compared to other dense storage systems like shuttle systems, Double Deep Racking has lower implementation costs.
