Drive In provides low investment, high density storage for users with very few SKU's to store. Drive In is limited in application because only a single SKU can be stored per bay and its storage utilization tends to be low due to honeycombing.

Advantages:

• Lower capital investment
• High storage density for certain product mixes

Typical Applications:

• Food or product manufacturers with limited SKU counts

Limitations:

• Inflexible, does not allow for SKU increase
• Low storage density (typically 50% of positions used)
• Low productivity (30% slower than alternative systems)
• Requires standardized pallets
• High rack damage by form trucks
• LIFO - Last In First Out
• Difficult to rotate time sensitive products
