Steel King Announces Durable, Engineered Drive-In Rack Systems

Steel King Industries Inc. (Stevens Point, Wis., USA) a leading manufacturer of material handling products and systems for improving operational efficiency, this week (Oct. 22, 2018) announced the availability of its Drive-In Rack Systems. Drive-In and Drive-Through Racking delivers cost-effective storage in high-density storage applications.

Requiring fewer aisles and providing better cube utilization than selective racks, drive-in and drive-thru racking allows users to store up to 75% more pallets than with selective racking. Forklifts drive directly into the rack, allowing storage of two or more pallets deep. Flared drive-in support rails helps forklift drivers enter the pallet rack by guiding the pallet into the bay. A Drive-In pallet rack system uses the same entry and exit point for each storage bay, providing last-in, first-out (LIFO) access. A Drive-Thru pallet rack system is loaded on one side and unloaded from the other for first-in, first-out flow (FIFO).

Because they are often used in high turnover areas and operated in close proximity to forklift traffic, drive-in and drive-thru racks are subject to greater wear and tear than other rack structures. Steel King’s drive-in rack system is engineered and manufactured to better stand up to this wear, making it a market leader among drive-in racking systems.

Steel King’s drive-in racking features unlimited storage depth and is ideal for high-traffic and cooler/freezer installations. Additionally, Steel King offers an optional offset leg design for easier handling of pallets. The welded frame construction delivers high rigidity and strength, while other optional features, such as protective railings and seismic-safe designs, deliver even greater safety and stability in demanding applications. More information about Steel King and the Drive-In Rack System is available online.

Steel King is the nation’s only single-source manufacturer of pallet racks, drive in rack, flow rack, pushback rack, pick modules, mezzanines, cantilever racks, portable racks, industrial containers, custom shipping racks, and industrial safety guard railing.
