Two Pallet Positions, One Simple Solution - Go with Double-Deep Pallet Racking

When SKU volume dictates that you need more pallet positions than your standard selective pallet rack can yield, consider deep-reach (or double-deep pallet racking). Deep-reach is a 2-pallet deep rack design that is often configured back-to-back with another 2-deep row. This configuration provides twice the pallet storage with only two aisles vs. four. 

Advantages | Considerations

  • Fewer aisles - free up floor space
  • Double pallet positions
  • Low maintenance
  • Easy to use
  • Requires deep-reach forklift
  • Reduced utilization percentage

Deep-Reach Trucks and Deep-Reach Rack, Let’s All Be Friends

Double-Deep pallet racking may be the system for you, but it will require a deep-reach forklift to load and extract pallets. This specialty forklift accesses the pallet racking system by driving into the rack to reach the rear pallet position. At that point, the outriggers at the truck’s base enter the rack system, and as we all know, anytime a forklift gets up close and personal with a racking system, the risk level increases.

The Apex team is here to ensure that your double-deep pallet rack system and forklift maintain a friendly relationship.

Apex Deep-Reach Design Features

  • Sloped column
  • Offset leg column
  • Raised I-beam
  • Column guards
  • End-row guards

To minimize rack damage from forklifts, Apex has design options that will protect your double-deep system. For example, sloped or raised I-beam columns are a very effective way to remove the lower column from the forklift strike zone. Also, column guards are very effective at preventing damage in more traditional column designs.

In addition to the column design, our system design experts will configure your aisles to give you as much available warehouse space as possible based upon your forklift specs. Narrow and very narrow aisle vehicles can free up a significant amount of floor space for operational use. Working with you, we will be able to assess your needs and deliver the right solution.

Double-Deep Row 3

Designing a double-deep pallet racking system goes deeper than deciding on the column shape or safety features. Depending on your inventory specs and expected warehouse activity, you can choose between roll-formed or structural steel racking components. Each material has benefits and considerations that may or may not be essential to your unique warehouse operation. We will work with you to ensure you make the best, fully-informed decision and that your rack system will meet your needs.
