Description
Double Deep Pallet Racking System is an economical and efficient solution for warehouses that need higher storage density while maintaining easy access and quick retrieval. It serves as a midpoint between selective and high-density pallet racking systems.
Key Features:
Storage Density: Holds 2-4 pallets deep within single and double entry racks.
Accessibility: Offers 50% immediate accessibility with reasonable stock rotation.
Rapid Dispatch: Ideal for larger volumes of single SKU pallets.
Guide Rails: Upper levels feature guide rails to assist operators in locating pallets.
Clearance: Lower-level pallets must be on beams, clear of the ground to allow reach truck legs to pass under.
Special Equipment:
Utilizes special forklifts, often equipped with a dual pantograph mechanism (reach fork truck) designed to reach the second pallet location.
Inventory Management:
Supports First in Last Out (FILO) inventory management.

Compliance
Apex Pallet Racking has been tested to and fully complies with latest Australian racking code AS 4084-2023
Apex Pallet Racking has also been manufactured to meet the following standards:
- FEM 10.2.02 European code of practice for the design of static steel pallet racks
- AS1250-1981 SAA Steel structures code
- AS1538-1988 SAA Cold-form steel structures code
- SEMA-1980 (UK) Storage equipment manufacturers’ association of practice for the design and use of static pallet racking
- RMI-1985 (USA) Rack manufacturers’ institute specification of the design, testing and utilization of industrial steel racks
- AS 4084-2023 Steel racking standards and codes that have since been revised or superseded.
Frames
Benchmark APEX pallet racking is available in several frame grades (post sections) depending on the load capacity required. Each warehouse and application are different so please contact the friendly staff at Benchmark for guidance on which post section best suits your requirements.
All posts and frames are a pre-galvanised finished.

Beams
Benchmark APEX powder coated orange box and open beams are designed to withstand a higher level of impact and retain their shape better than some other types of beam sections on the market. The below table highlights standard sizes available in which all have varying load capacities. Each warehouse and application are different so please contact the friendly staff at Benchmark for guidance on which pallet racking beams best suits your requirements.
