‘SSI SCHAEFER’ Double Deep Pallet Racking

A derivative to the Selective pallet racking, the Double Deep system requires the use of a specialist reach truck or an attachment fitted to reach truck. Whilst achieving increases in capacity of up to 30% above the former, only 50% of the pallets are immediately accessible.

This system however provides an excellent method of increasing warehouse capacity or when alternative systems such as the Drive-in which require high numbers of homogenous pallet types, are not possible.
