Technical description

The DELIE Drive-in Racking system is a compact storage solution from its product line. It allows forklifts to enter and exit the racking directly from one side, eliminating the need for multiple aisles. The total system depth normally supports up to 6 pallets (≤ 6 pallets) and achieves warehouse space utilization of up to 50%. It balances high space utilization with operational safety.

How it works

01

Forklift entry

The forklift enters the racking channel with the forks in a raised position. The forks rest on the guide rails at the correct height. The operator advances to the designated storage position, deposits the pallet and reverses.

02

LIFO flow

Drive-in operates in LIFO mode: the last pallet loaded is the first to leave. Pallets are loaded from front to back and retrieved in reverse order. This system is ideal for homogeneous goods with no mandatory FIFO rotation.

03

Maximum space utilization

By eliminating the aisles between each row of racking, drive-in concentrates storage in compact blocks. With up to 6 pallets deep per position, space utilization can reach 50% of the total warehouse area.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

When is drive-in better than pallet shuttle?

Drive-in is cheaper in initial investment because it requires no robots. The shuttle offers higher density (up to 30 pallets deep vs. 6 of drive-in), greater safety (the forklift does not enter the channel) and higher throughput. For operations with a limited budget and moderate volume, drive-in is the right option.

Can it be used in cold storage?

Yes. DELIE drive-in racking is available in a cold-storage version (-30 °C). The silane treatment and high-strength steel maintain their structural properties across the entire temperature range.

How long does installation take?

The mechanical installation of drive-in racking takes between 2 and 4 weeks depending on the project volume. It is one of the fastest installations in the DELIE catalog. STOKA coordinates the importation and assembly in Argentina.

Can it be converted to a shuttle system in the future?

In some cases it is possible to adapt the drive-in channels to receive shuttle robots, taking advantage of the existing structure. STOKA evaluates the technical and economic feasibility of the conversion for each specific project.
