Double Deep Racking Systems
(Double Deep Racking Systems)
Two rows of racking are placed one behind the other on each side of the aisle, so more pallets fit into the same space with fewer working aisles.
- More pallet positions on the same floor area
- Fewer working aisles
- Works with telescopic-fork trucks
Technical specifications
Load capacity and dimensions are determined by the project for your building and stated in the quotation.
| System type | Double Deep Racking Systems |
|---|---|
| Structure | Frames made of perforated steel uprights with bracing |
| Beams | Hook-on beams with safety locks |
| Access | Front pallet direct, second behind it |
| Handling | Reach truck with telescopic (pantograph) forks |
| Accessories | Row spacers, upright protectors, pallet stops, load signs |
| Load capacity and dimensions | Determined by the project |
Benefits
Higher density
More pallet positions than single-deep racking.
Fewer aisles
More floor space for storage.
Standard components
Same parts as conventional pallet racking.
Good compromise
Higher density with access to the front pallet in each lane.
Adjustable levels
Beam heights follow the pallets.
Expandable
New bays are easy to add.
Applications
- SKUs with several pallets of the same product
- Food industry
- Pre-Packed Fruits & Vegatables
- FMCG distribution
- Production warehouses
- Cold stores
How it works
- LayoutTwo rows of racking, one behind the other, on each side of the aisle.
- Put-awayA telescopic-fork truck places a pallet in the rear position, then in the front.
- RetrievalThe front pallet is taken first, then the rear one – the order in each lane is LIFO. The same SKU or batch is therefore stored in one lane, and the rear pallet is only reached after the front one has been picked or moved.

Frequently asked questions
Which warehouses suit double deep racking?
Warehouses with SKUs of at least two pallets, where better use of space matters more than direct access to every pallet.
What does LIFO mean for stock placement?
Each lane holds one SKU or batch. SKUs that need strict FIFO or direct access to every pallet are better placed in selective (back-to-back) or pallet flow racking.
Is a special forklift needed?
Yes, a reach truck with telescopic (pantograph) forks that can reach the second pallet.
How much space is gained?
It depends on the layout – fewer aisles mean more pallet positions. The project gives the exact capacity.
What information do you need for a quotation?
For a quotation please send: floor plan and clear height, pallet dimensions and maximum weight, number of SKUs and pallets per SKU, stock turnover, and the model or type of reach truck with telescopic forks (existing or planned).
