Double-deep racking
Double-deep rack places two rows of selective rack back to back with no aisle between, so each side stores two pallets deep. You remove half the aisles, gain a lot of positions, and still use standard rack components.

How it stacks up
The truck is the deciding factor
Double-deep needs a reach truck with extending forks. If you already have one, or are buying one, double-deep is usually the cheapest density upgrade because it uses ordinary used frames and beams.
Supplied, installed and certified
Whatever system you choose, RackGuy handles it end to end: components from our used stock where it makes sense, installation by our own crews, and a PSR and load signage so it's ready for inspection. How certification works.
Common questions
Do I need special forklifts for double-deep racking?
Yes. A double-deep reach truck with pantograph or extending forks is required to reach the rear pallet.
How much space does double-deep save?
It removes about half the aisles compared to single-deep selective, which adds a significant number of positions in the same footprint.
Can I convert my selective rack to double-deep?
Often yes. We check frame depth, row spacing and beam capacities, add the extra frames and re-layout the aisles.
