Double Deep Pallet Rack: Optimize Your Warehouse Storage 

The Double Deep Pallet Rack system is the best solution to businesses that would like to maximize the warehouse space and still provide effective pallet storage and retrieval.

Bari Engineering deals with the production and installation of high quality, deep pallet racks, which are designed to suit your storage requirements.

This blog examines the advantages, the varieties, and the main characteristics of the Double Deep Pallet Rack and this will enable you to make a wise choice about your warehouse.

What is a Double Deep Pallet Rack?

A Double Deep Pallet Rack is a high-density warehouse storage medium whereby two pallets are arranged one behind the other in a single bay with access via a single aisle.

This is basically configured by installing two rows of standard selective pallet racking in a back-to-back configuration that minimizes the amount of required aisles and can potentially increase storage capacity by up to 40 percent over single-deep selective racking.

Advantages of Double Deep Pallet Racking

Increased storage capacity: Double deep racks increase your storage density by approximately 50% of that which was available with single deep racks. It’s simply a means to carry more inventory at the same footprint in a warehouse.

Optimal use of space: You are reducing the aisles you require, which creates additional floor space that would otherwise be walkways only. That additional space can help in your practices.

Cost-effective: With fewer aisles, you will also be spending less on constructing buildings and have a lower maintenance cost in the long run. It is a sensible strategy that will yield later.

Easy accessibility: Yes, you are sacrificing some instant access to space, but it is not a bad trade off. Access to your pallets can be made with relative ease and it is most advantageous when dealing with products you are transporting frequently.

Suitable for high volume SKUs: This setup really shines when you’re dealing with products that have consistent turnover and healthy inventory levels. If you’re constantly replenishing and shipping the same items, double deep racks just make sense.

Best Used For: Best with companies that have fewer than a large number of products (small number of SKUs) and a high volume (bulk goods) or medium or long shelf life (cold storage).

Types of Double Deep Pallet Rack

Understanding the types of double deep pallet rack systems helps select the one that fits your warehouse requirements best. Below are common types offered by Bari Engineering and industry standards:

1. Standard Double Deep Pallet Rack

This is the most basic type, where two rows of pallets are stored back-to-back. It requires forklifts equipped with telescopic forks for the second-row pallets.

• Applicable to many industries.
• Best suited to warehousing with medium to high pallet turnover.
• Offers increased storage density without complicated machinery.

2. Back-to-Back Double Deep Rack System

This is a two deep rack setup with one on the backside of the other, commonly employed to remove additional aisles and as much as possible of the floor space.

• Maximizes both vertical and horizontal space.
• Applicable to warehouses that have a consistent inventory.
• Needs special deep-reach forklifts to handle pallets effectively.

3. Selective vs. Double Deep Hybrid Racking

In some warehouses, selective pallet racks are placed at the front of the warehouse with the double deep pallet racks placed at the rear to create a balance between ease of access and density.

• Gives priority to fast-moving SKUs in the first row.
• Stores slower moving inventory deeper.
• Flexible for warehouses with mixed storage needs.

4. Double Deep Push Back Racks (Variant)

Sometimes integrated with push back systems, these racks allow storing pallets two deep but with added benefits of gravity-fed storage, enhancing retrieval speed.

• Rots using last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory.
• Higher storage density combined with easier access.
• Recommended for specific inventory types with predictable turnover.

Things to Consider Before Installing Double Deep Pallet Racking

In selecting the double deep pallet racks consider the following:

Forklift Compatibility: Forklifts with long reach or telescopic forks are required.

Inventory Rotation: Best for LIFO systems; not ideal for FIFO rotation.

Accessibility: Rear pallets are less accessible due to front pallets blocking access.

Space Planning: This involves accurate design of the warehouse layout in order to get maximum benefits.
