Double Deep Racking: More Storage, Less Aisles — Without Losing Speed

Store 25–30% more pallets compared to selective racking, while maintaining fast operations and efficient access.

Double Deep Pallet Racking

More Storage, Less Aisles — Without Losing Speed

Double Deep Pallet Racking is a smart upgrade for operations that need to store more pallets without sacrificing too much accessibility. By placing one row of selective racking behind another, it increases storage capacity by up to 30% — without the full commitment of drive-in systems.

This setup offers a strong middle ground between selectivity and space efficiency, making it ideal for warehouses managing 10 to 100 SKUs with high outbound volume. It works best with reach trucks and supports both LIFO and FIFO workflows, depending on your layout.

Cost-effective, space-saving, and engineered for your exact floor load and lift equipment.

Dati, third level lang ang akala naming kaya ng warehouse namin. Ngayon, eight levels na — thanks to Metaformation.

Hindi lang sila nagbebenta ng racks; they taught us how to truly maximize space. That made it possible for us to expand, serve more clients, and grow faster.

Best Fit for Medium-Density, High-Flow Inventory

Double Deep Pallet Racking strikes the perfect balance between storage density and operational speed. It’s ideal for warehouses managing moderate SKU counts with high daily throughput — where maximizing pallet positions without sacrificing too much access is key.

These industries rely on fast movement, batch dispatch, and reliable slotting systems that don’t slow down operations.

Your Question Answered

A reach truck or double-deep reach forklift is required to access the back pallet in a Double Deep setup. Standard forklifts typically can’t reach the second row safely.

Yes — Double Deep is a more affordable high-density option than Drive-In Racking. It provides increased storage without the full structural investment, while offering faster access and more flexibility.

It can support both, but it’s commonly used in LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) configurations due to the back-row access. FIFO setups are possible with careful layout planning and inventory rotation.

Before installation, consider your SKU velocity, pallet turnover, and available forklift equipment. Since rear pallets require specific access, Double Deep is best when storing products in batches or when some delay in access is acceptable.

Double Deep Racking can increase your pallet positions by up to 30% versus standard selective racking — using fewer aisles while still keeping pick times efficient with the right equipment.
