What Is Double Deep Pallet Racking?
Double deep pallet racking is essentially the same as standard pallet racking but with one key difference: you can store two pallets in the depth, rather than just one. This effectively doubles your storage capacity without compromising accessibility or warehouse space.
Double deep pallet racking is a robust and versatile storage system. Designed to accommodate two pallets deep, it offers an innovative solution for businesses dealing with high volumes of stock or limited floor space, allowing them to maximise storage density and streamline their operations.
Double Deep Pallet Racking Handling Systems
Specifications & Dimensions
Double deep pallet racking systems consist of one row of standard pallet racking behind another, meaning that half the stored pallets are immediately accessible using a First-in Last-out (FILO) principle.
It can operate within an aisle of 2500mm and is ideally suited for the storage of multiple pallets. This vastly increases the storage density within the warehouse as more pallets can be stored.
Specialist Equipment
These systems require a specialised truck with telescopic forks, which enables the operator to place the back pallet onto the system first, and then place another pallet in front.
Accessibility
Despite its high storage capacity, these heavy duty handling systems still maintain excellent levels of accessibility. Teepee’s handling systems are designed for easy forklift access. This ensures the efficient loading and unloading of pallets for seamless materials handling.
Access to the rear pallets can be limited, but as long as an efficient stock control system is used, then this problem can easily be overcome. Teepee can advise you on FILO stock control systems depending on the specific spatial dimensions and requirements of your facility.

Advantages of Double Deep Pallet Racking Systems:
✔ Maximise Warehouse Space
Say goodbye to wasted warehouse space. These systems maximise the use of space in your warehouse by doubling the depth of pallets. This reduces the number of aisles and frees up valuable floor space in your warehouse.
✔ Good SKU Accessibility
Though it limits direct access to all pallets, it’s efficient for storing multiple pallets of the same SKU. This maintains good accessibility for high-volume items, with fewer pick faces.
✔ Streamlined Operations
By optimising storage and reducing the need for constant restocking, these systems save both time and labour costs. Your warehouse operations thereby become more streamlined and efficient.
✔ Increased Storage Density
By doubling the number of pallets your warehouse can hold, this allows you to store more inventory, reducing the need for frequent restocking. This in turn can reduce delivery expenses, as you will be ordering inventory less often.
✔ Cost-effective Systems
By increasing storage density and reducing warehouse space requirements, double deep racking is one of the most cost-efficient forms of pallet racking.
✔ Flexible Materials Handling
By supporting the flexible FILO system, these systems simplify materials handling and reduce travel time. This setup works well with deep-reach forklifts, offering adaptable pallet movement without the need for complex equipment.
