Floor & Vertical Volume Utilization
Doubles storage depth from each operating aisle, utilizing the full clear building height and reducing required floor area per pallet position.
Engineered Storage Systems
Maximise Warehouse Storage Capacity with 2-Deep Bay Engineering
GENEX Double Deep Pallet Racking is an engineered, high-density industrial racking system designed to store unit loads two rows deep per aisle face, effectively eliminating 50% of the working access aisles required by conventional selective racking.
By positioning two pallet storage runs back-to-back, warehouse facilities across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the wider UAE achieve up to a 30% increase in static storage volume within their existing building footprint. It provides an optimal balance between high density and operational selectivity for operations handling multi-pallet batches per SKU.
-
30% Increase in Storage Density
Reduces aisle-to-storage space ratio significantly, lowering real estate storage costs per pallet.
-
Optimised for Double-Reach Forklifts
Engineered to work seamlessly with pantograph extendable reach trucks or telescopic double-reach attachments.
-
Compliance with Global Standards
Engineered and load-rated strictly according to EN 15512, EN 15620, and local UAE Civil Defence safety regulations.
Operational Advantages
Why Overseas & UAE Enterprises Choose Double Deep Racking
Double deep configurations provide an ideal medium between 100% selective systems and deep-lane drive-in systems.
Balanced Pallet Selectivity (50%)
Gives 50% instant selectivity across all pallets while maintaining approximately 200% storage density compared to single-deep setups.
Lower Capital Cost Per Pallet
More pallet positions are created without expanding building square meters, drastically lowering cold store power costs or warehouse leasing overhead.
FILO / LIFO Stock Management
Ideal for batch manufacturing, cold storage, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), and dry distribution with multiple pallets per product line.
Adaptable Pallet Support Systems
Equipped with heavy-duty guide rails, pallet entry guides, and dual beam safety ties to provide structural rigidity for deep placement.
Standardized Safety Protection
Integrated column guards, end-of-aisle structural crash barriers, and certified beam locking pins to withstand daily reach truck operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Double Deep Pallet Racking Insights
How does Double Deep Racking increase storage capacity compared to Selective Racking?
Selective pallet racking requires an access aisle for every two rows of racks. Double Deep Pallet Racking stores pallets two rows deep on either side of the aisle, eliminating every second aisle. This reduces aisle space by up to 50% and expands static pallet capacity by 25% to 30%.
What type of forklift is required to operate a Double Deep system?
A specialized double-deep reach truck fitted with either pantograph scissor mechanisms or telescopic deep-reach forks is required. When designing the layout, GENEX engineers calculate the exact aisle clearance needed for your specific reach truck chassis and turning circle.
Which warehouse operations benefit most from Double Deep Pallet Racking?
Double deep racking is widely deployed in cold storage facilities, FMCG logistics hubs, raw material storage, and general warehousing where multiple pallets per SKU are received and dispatched together under a First-In, Last-Out (FILO) workflow.
Can existing selective pallet racking be converted to double deep racking?
Yes. If your warehouse height, floor slab load rating, and reach truck fleet support the conversion, GENEX can reconfigure and re-tie existing frames using engineered row spacers and deeper beam levels to convert selective layouts into high-density double deep configurations.
