Double-deep, selective, or something denser?

Double-deep gives up direct access to the rear pallet to save floor space. Watch how each system is loaded and pick the one that fits what you store.

Selective

Choose double-deep when

  • You hold several pallets of each product
  • Last in, first out is fine for your stock
  • You run deep-reach trucks, or will
  • You need more positions without a bigger building

Choose another system when

  • Every pallet must be within reach → Selective
  • You want 2–6 deep with your current forklifts → Pushback
  • You hold many pallets of the same product → Drive-in
  • Dated stock must leave first in, first out → Pallet flow

Double-deep pallet rack FAQ

Ask your question

or call 971-337-6608

How is double-deep pallet racking priced?

By the parts list: frames, beams, row spacers and decking for the number of bays, plus freight and installation if you want it. New and used are priced side by side. Send your pallet size, weight and the positions you need, and we price the exact list.

What forklift do I need for double-deep racking?

A deep-reach truck, whose forks reach far enough to set a pallet in the rear position, or a reach truck with a pantograph attachment. A standard forklift reaches only the front row. Tell us what you run and we size the rack to it.

How much more storage does double-deep give?

It removes about every other aisle, so the same floor holds more pallet positions. How many more depends on your building, aisle width and truck, so we lay out both options on your floor plan and show the count side by side. See warehouse layout design.

What is the difference between double-deep and selective racking?

The parts are the same: frames, beams and decking. Selective stores one pallet deep on each side of the aisle, so every pallet is in reach. Double-deep puts two frames back to back on each side, so the rear pallet comes out only after the front one: last in, first out.

How much weight can double-deep racking hold?

Each position is rated like selective racking. As a guide, a 96″ × 4″ teardrop beam pair is rated at about 4,000–5,000 lb static, load spread evenly, and a 42″ 14-gauge frame at about 23,000 lb with beams 48″ apart. Your quote confirms the rating for your load.

Do we need a permit and anchoring?

Often, yes: many cities ask for a permit for storage racking, and racks are anchored to the floor to the local seismic rules. We prepare the permit drawings and anchor every frame we install. See racking permits and rack anchoring.

About double-deep pallet racking

Double-deep pallet racking is selective racking two frames deep: on each side of the aisle a second row of frames stands right behind the first, tied to it with row spacers, so one aisle serves two pallets deep. It needs about half the aisles of a single-deep layout and stores more pallets on the same floor, in exchange for direct access to the rear pallet, which is reached with a deep-reach truck. Lenokers supplies double-deep racking new and used, shipped from points across the US, supply only or installed by our own crews, with layout, permits and anchoring when the project needs them.

How double-deep racking works

Each position holds two pallets, one behind the other. The driver sets the first pallet in the rear position with a deep-reach truck, then the second in front of it. To reach the rear pallet the front one comes out first, so stock is last in, first out. It suits products with several pallets each, where pallets of the same product can share a position.

Two pallets per position: the rear one goes in first with a deep-reach truck, the front one in front of it.

Double-deep vs single-deep selective

Single-deep selective racking keeps every pallet in reach of the aisle and works with any forklift. Double-deep needs about half the aisles, so the same building holds more positions, but every second pallet sits behind another and needs a deep-reach truck. To go deeper from the aisle with the forklifts you have, pushback stores 2–6 pallets deep; for many pallets of one product, drive-in racking goes deeper still.

The same floor: single-deep keeps every pallet in reach; double-deep needs about half the aisles.

Double-deep rack sizes

Each row is built from standard selective parts: frames usually 42″ deep for 48″ × 40″ pallets and 8′ to 24′ tall, and beams from 48″ to 144″ that adjust every 2″. The front and rear frames are tied with row spacers across a flue gap, so a row with 42″ frames is about 90″–96″ deep on each side of the aisle. The top level is set by how high your deep-reach truck can place a pallet.

Standard selective bay: a 96 inch beam holding two 40 inch pallets, a 42 inch frame and a 48 inch pallet
Each double-deep row is a standard selective bay: a 96″ beam takes two 40″ pallets on 42″ frames.

Capacity: always static, always confirmed

Each double-deep position is rated like selective racking: per beam pair (per level) and per frame, as a static rating with the load spread evenly. A frame’s rating drops as the gap between beam levels grows, and seismic zones change the numbers again, which is why capacity is confirmed on every quote, posted on load signs, and engineered into the permit drawings where the city asks for them. Our layout design and permit services take care of both.
