Double Deep Pallet Racking

Double-Deep storage instantly gives you more pallet locations compared to conventional pallet racking. Many lift truck manufacturers has the know-how and technology to help customer optimizing their warehouse space like double-deep pallet racking with the help of KOOI®ReachForks. Space equals money. So how do you get the most out of your warehousing space? There are numerous methods of storing palletized products in a warehouse - from simple floor block-stacking to highly sophisticated automatic crane stores. All have their virtues, depending on your operational requirements - whether it is simply to store as many pallets as possible, or to allow a very high degree of selectivity and instant retrieval of any given pallet. For many types of warehouse, however, double-deep stacking combines highly efficient space utilization with excellent availability, using flexible, cost-effective handling equipment.
Advantages of Double Deep Pallet Racking
• The ability to stack two pallets deep - often with guide-rails to upper beam levels for added safety
• Increased storage capacity by as much as 10-15% when compared with Selective Racking
• 50% immediate accessibility with reasonable stock rotation
• Safe and secure handling with the bottom pallet usually off ground
• Ability to use double deep handling equipment for other tasks
As less aisle space is needed, you can really maximize storage space using this system. You will need a forklift truck with telescopic forks to access the pallets but this investment pays for itself very quickly.
Telescopic forks have a number of distinct advantages like:
• Very affordable.
• Easy to install on existing fork carriage.
• Easily swapped like standard forks.
• Excellent visibility like the normal forks.
• Just around 100 kg extra weight to compared to standard forks.
• Improved residual lifting capacity to other double-deep attachments like scissor reach.
• Same handling speed like pantograph
• Virtually no extra lost load thickness compared to standard forks.
• Shorter mast height due to absence of moving auxiliary pantograph mast.
• No hinged parts, bearing, rollers meaning reduced maintenance costs.
• Double-pallet transport without need for extra-long forks.
• Easy to install onto other equipment such as fork positioners or side-shifts.
• Improved residual lifting capacity due to fork positioner mounting on mast, hence reduced risk of tipping.
