What Is Double Deep Pallet Racking?

Double deep pallet racking is a racking system with shelves that are double the depth of a standard pallet. The additional depth means that pallets can be stacked two deep, essentially doubling the storage space of a standard racking system while maintaining the number of aisles.

Double deep pallet racking is an economical way to maximise storage capacity in your warehouse. You need a ‘reach fork truck’ with tines that extend out to reach the depth of the second pallet. This kind of forklift is quite common and easy to find, so this option will rarely involve any extra costs.

Double deep racking is ideal for the storage of products with a low differentiation. This is because in a double deep racking system that is filled to capacity, only 50% of the pallets are accessible from the aisle.
