Q: How do I choose between drive-in, push back and radio shuttle racking?

Each system suits a different type of operation: Drive-in racking gives the highest density at the lowest cost. It suits few SKUs stored in large quantities. Push back racking stores 2 to 5 pallets deep per lane. Each lane remains directly accessible from the aisle. Radio shuttle racking supports deep lanes with FIFO or LIFO flow. It reduces forklift travel inside the rack, which suits high-throughput and cold-storage operations.
