What does a double-deep storage rack refer to?

1. Rack that holds only one unit deep

2. High-density storage system allowing units to be stored several deep

3. Rack that holds two units deep, one behind the other

4. Storage racks on tracks for easy movement

The correct answer is: Rack that holds two units deep, one behind the other

A double-deep storage rack refers specifically to a system that accommodates two units deep, with one unit positioned behind the other. This configuration maximizes warehouse space by allowing more product to be stored in a limited area compared to standard single-deep racks. In a double-deep setup, the front access is limited to the first unit, but with the appropriate machinery, such as a specialized forklift, operators can access both units. This system is particularly beneficial in high-density storage environments where space efficiency is crucial. The other options do not accurately describe the characteristics of a double-deep storage rack. For instance, a system that holds only one unit deep does not leverage the space in the same way, while a high-density system that allows multiple units to be stored several deep could refer to different rack types or configurations, rather than specifically delineating the double-deep characteristic. Storage racks on tracks imply a mobility feature that is separate from the standard depth considerations of various rack systems.
