Tech-Link Drive-In, Drive-through Pallet Racking storage systems allow selection of a batch of pallets in storage. Rows of pallet storage lanes are arranged with operating aisles between them, to allow transport and access to storage lanes. Storage lanes can be 2, to any no. of pallets deep. However, lanes over 7 pallets deep should be carefully considered to minimised pallet handling difficulties, ensure pallet turnover and storage position losses are minimised and safety is not jeopardised. Aisle widths are determined by handling equipment requirements. Storage is in a Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) arrangement.

DESIGN GUIDE LINES
Aisle for forklift trucks 3.8-6.0 meters
Aisle for reach trucks 2.8-3.5 meters


FLOOR SPACE UTILISATION
Storage area - 68%
Operating aisles - 32%

The floor space utilization is based on a specific application. Floor space utilisation varies considerably with application to application. Tech-Link would be pleased to provide this data after a solution is designed to suit a customers needs. Cubic capacity is based on pallet heights and clear available storage height.
