This innovative system is designed to increase your storage capacity by over 50% compared to standard Selective Racking. By reducing the number of required aisles, Double Deep Racking allows you to convert unproductive floor space into valuable, income-generating storage, offering an excellent return on investment.
What is Double Deep Racking?
Double Deep Racking is a smart pallet storage system that stores pallets two positions deep from the aisle. Structurally, it’s like placing one row of selective racking directly behind another. This simple change dramatically increases storage density by maximising your floor space.
To access the rear pallet, this system requires a specialised forklift with an extended reach mechanism, such as a telescopic or pantograph attachment. Because the front pallet must be moved to access the rear pallet, the system operates on a Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) inventory principle, making it a perfect fit for specific operational needs.

The Vinatech Advantage: Key Benefits of Double Deep Racking
Implementing a Vinatech Double Deep Racking system is a strategic decision that delivers significant improvements in capacity and cost-efficiency.
Dramatically Increase Storage Density
The primary benefit is a substantial increase in storage capacity. By eliminating nearly half of your aisles, you can achieve a warehouse fill capacity of up to 80-85%. This means you can store significantly more product in the same footprint, maximising the value of your existing facility.
Cost-Effective Capacity Growth
Double Deep Racking offers a lower cost-per-pallet position than standard selective racking. It allows you to expand your storage capabilities without the major capital expenditure of building expansion or moving to a new site, also leading to reduced costs for lighting and cooling in larger facilities.
Ideal for High-Volume SKUs
This system excels in environments where you store multiple pallets of the same SKU. It is perfectly suited for fast-moving consumer goods, seasonal products, or any inventory where the front pallet of a given product is typically depleted before access to the rear pallet is required.

FAQs about Double Deep Racking
Double deep racking is a high-density warehouse storage system that stores pallets two positions deep instead of one, increasing storage capacity while reducing aisle space.
Double deep racking works by placing pallets in two rows deep within the rack. Specialised reach trucks are used to access both front and rear pallet positions efficiently.
The main benefits include increased storage density, reduced aisle space, improved warehouse space utilisation, and lower cost compared to fully automated systems.
Selective racking provides direct access to every pallet, while double deep racking stores pallets two deep, increasing storage density but reducing accessibility.
Double deep racking allows access using specialised forklifts without entering the rack, while drive-in racking requires forklifts to drive into the structure, offering higher density but lower selectivity.
The load capacity depends on beam design, upright strength, and system configuration. It is typically designed for heavy-duty pallet loads and must comply with Australian Standard AS 4084.
Double deep racking works best in warehouses with large volumes of similar products, consistent pallet sizes, and layouts that prioritise storage density over direct access.
Double deep racking is not ideal for strict FIFO systems because rear pallets can only be accessed after removing the front pallets.
Yes, double deep racking is suitable for LIFO operations where the last pallet stored is retrieved first.
Installation time depends on warehouse size and system complexity, typically ranging from several days to a few weeks.
It is best suited for high-volume, low-SKU goods with consistent pallet sizes, such as packaged products, bulk items, and non-perishable inventory.
Regular visual inspections should be conducted weekly or monthly, with formal inspections performed annually to ensure compliance and safety.
Double deep racking systems are highly durable, constructed from heavy-duty steel designed for long-term industrial use.
The lifespan typically ranges from 10 to 20 years or more, depending on usage, maintenance, and operating conditions.
Double deep racking is commonly used in distribution centres, manufacturing warehouses, cold storage facilities, and logistics operations handling large pallet volumes.
