2 Wide Drive-In

2-Wide Drive-In rack increases storage density by allowing pallets to be stored two pallets wide per lane, reducing aisle count while maintaining straightforward, lane-based storage. This configuration is ideal for facilities with low-to-moderate SKU counts and consistent pallet dimensions, where maximizing cube utilization is more important than pallet selectivity.

Advance 2-Wide Drive-In systems are engineered to support demanding warehouse environments and can be configured in Structural or Roll Form designs to match durability and budget requirements.

Structural 2-Wide Drive-In Capabilities:

Structural 2-Wide Drive-In is designed for high-contact lift truck environments where durability and long-term performance are critical. Heavier structural members provide greater impact resistance and allow many repairs to be performed on-site, helping minimize downtime in busy distribution operations.

This option is well suited for beverage, grocery, and food distribution environments where lift traffic is constant and pallets are frequently cycled through deep lanes.

Roll Form 2-Wide Drive-In Capabilities:

Roll form 2-Wide Drive-In offers a cost-efficient path to high-density storage when pallet quality is consistent and lift interaction is controlled. Roll form members use lighter-gauge steel, making proper rack protection, entry guides, and disciplined lift operation essential to long-term performance.

Commonly used in beverage, food distribution, and cold storage facilities where product moves in large quantities per SKU and FILO/LIFO inventory flow is acceptable.
