Forklift trucks physically drive into the storage aisles to deposit or retrieve loads on support rails. <\/p>\n\n<p>This operating method dictates how the stock is managed. Due to its single-aisle design with a single front access point, it <strong>operates on the LIFO<\/strong> (Last In, First Out) principle: the last pallet to be placed in the aisle must be the first to be removed. In other words, there is no direct access to the pallets at the back until those at the front have been cleared.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"601\" data-id=\"21966\" src=\"https:\/\/estanteriasrecord.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/sistemas-drive-in-1_11zon.webp\" alt=\"Almac&#xE9;n sin sistema drive in\" class=\"wp-image-21966\" srcset=\"https:\/\/estanteriasrecord.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/sistemas-drive-in-1_11zon.webp 800w, https:\/\/estanteriasrecord.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/sistemas-drive-in-1_11zon-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/estanteriasrecord.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/sistemas-drive-in-1_11zon-768x577.webp 768w, https:\/\/estanteriasrecord.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/sistemas-drive-in-1_11zon-600x451.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Warehouse without a drive-in system<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"601\" data-id=\"21969\" src=\"https:\/\/estanteriasrecord.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/sistemas-drive-in-6_11zon.webp\" alt=\"Warehouse with a drive-in system\" class=\"wp-image-21969\" srcset=\"https:\/\/estanteriasrecord.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/sistemas-drive-in-6_11zon.webp 800w, https:\/\/estanteriasrecord.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/sistemas-drive-in-6_11zon-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/estanteriasrecord.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/sistemas-drive-in-6_11zon-768x577.webp 768w, https:\/\/estanteriasrecord.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/sistemas-drive-in-6_11zon-600x451.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The same warehouse, optimised using a drive-in system<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Drive-in vs drive-through: key differences<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Although they are often confused, there are fundamental operational differences between the two compact systems.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Feature<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Drive-in system<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Drive-through system<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Access points<\/strong><\/td><td>A single front access point<\/td><td>Dual access (front and rear)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Loading principle<\/strong><\/td><td>LIFO (Last In, First Out)<\/td><td>FIFO (First In, First Out)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Use of space<\/strong><\/td><td>Maximum compaction against a wall<\/td><td>Requires a loading and unloading bay<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Ideal application<\/strong><\/td><td>Large batches with no critical expiry date<\/td><td>High-turnover perishable goods<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When is this the best solution: homogeneous products and high volumes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>The design of the internal aisles makes this system particularly well-suited to specific logistics scenarios.

Another common mistake is the use of poor-quality or damaged pallets, which can warp or break when supported only at their ends on the rails. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1776339220224\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Can a drive-in system be adapted to operate on a FIFO basis?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Not directly. If you need FIFO, the structure must be configured as a drive-through (with a rear entrance) or using dynamic roller conveyors. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1776339232186\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What happens if a pallet breaks in the street?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">This is a hazardous situation. The forklift must remove the front pallets with the utmost care. This is why it is crucial to use standardised pallets (such as Euro pallets) that are in perfect condition.  <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1776339241937\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Do drive-in racking systems require special anchoring?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, due to its large size and constant interaction with the forklift, floor anchors and upper bracing are mandatory.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1776339249997\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is the guide lane at a drive-through?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It is a metal strip fixed to the floor at the entrance and running the entire length of the aisle. Its purpose is to guide the trolley\u2019s wheels so that they do not bump into the side rails. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1776339265337\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Can I store pallets of different sizes in the same aisle?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">That\u2019s not possible. The lanes are designed for a specific width. Mixing widths can cause instability within the lane, which carries a potential risk of collapse.  <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1776339274402\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is the maximum height a drive-in can reach?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Technically, it can exceed 10 metres, but it will always be limited by the maximum lifting height of the forklift trucks available in the warehouse.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1776339286618\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is the shuttle system and how does it differ from the drive-in?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The pallet shuttle uses a motorised satellite trolley to move pallets within the aisle. It is an evolution of the drive-in system that speeds up loading and prevents forklifts from entering the racking. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1776339296715\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Is it easy to dismantle and move a drive-in system?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, Record shelving units are modular and are either bolted or assembled, so they can be dismantled and relocated by qualified personnel, following an assessment of the new site.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1776339306321\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How does the drive-in system affect periodic stocktaking?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It makes it difficult to carry out a visual physical count of the pallets at the back.
