Double Deep Racking by NAS is growing in popularity due to higher building costs and the economical cost of High Reach Narrow Aisle Trucks. Double Deep Racking improves density by placing rows together to reduce the number of access aisles, creating pallet access that is two pallets deep. Ideal for increased storage density requirements where lift trucks have extended reach capability (ie telescopic or panagraphic). Easily converted to or from single selective rack.
- 50% Selectivity
- Minimal increased lift truck costs
- Increased storage capacity by reducing number of access aisles
- Less distance for the fork lift truck to travel
- Easily relocated
- Applications: warehouse/logistics, manufacturing plants, food & grocery distribution, petroleum/chemical & pharmaceutical plants
