drive-through shelf

A drive-through shelf is a shelf in which the load units are positioned on several levels one above the other and with several units behind each other in the depth of the shelf. The load units stand on two continuous brackets attached to the uprights and thus form a block. They are stored and retrieved using forklift trucks. The load units are stored from the front, starting from the rear. In contrast to drive-in racking, retrieval starts from the rear. Storage is thus realized according to the FIFO principle.
