What is the difference between selective pallet racking and drive-in racking?

Selective pallet racking provides direct access to every pallet, while drive-in racking maximizes density by allowing forklifts to enter storage lanes but reduces selectivity.

Selective Pallet Racking

  • 100% pallet accessibility
  • Ideal for high SKU variety
  • First-In, First-Out (FIFO) compatible
  • Best for fast-moving inventory

Drive-In Racking

  • High-density storage
  • Forklifts drive into lanes
  • Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) system
  • Best for large volumes of similar SKUs

Selective racking works best when speed and accessibility matter. Drive-in racking works best when storage density is the priority.
