Plan lane depth and forklift access: 505-436-7469." lang: en --- Image: Drive-In Rack system inside a New Mexico warehouse (https://albuquerquepalletrack.com/assets/drive-in-hero-CA5gVqly.jpg) Bernalillo, New Mexico # Drive-In Rack in Bernalillo, NM Drive-in rack in Bernalillo can consolidate bulk pallet inventory for distributors staging construction supplies between incoming freight and northern delivery routes. Among the densest storage options, it removes access aisles between individual pallet rows by allowing forklifts to enter storage lanes. The truck tires remain on the floor, while paired rails hold the pallets above and beside the truck's travel path. Near the I-25 and US 550 interchange, storage decisions should account for outbound staging as well as total pallet capacity. A lane filled with one building material may work well until a different batch blocks the required order. Single-entry operation is generally LIFO; drive-thru racking can support FIFO through separate loading and retrieval ends when both faces remain accessible. (505) 436-7469 ## Planning Drive-In Rack Around Freight Movement 1 ### Map freight and storage needs List recurring products, pallet quantities, delivery destinations, and staging demands. We use that information to separate bulk storage candidates from materials requiring immediate or individually selected access. 2 ### Check load and truck compatibility Measure representative pallets and review forklift specifications together. The resulting clearance assessment informs rail spacing, lane width, storage elevations, and the approach needed for controlled entry. 3 ### Review product lane assignments Compare proposed lane depths with typical receipt sizes and withdrawal quantities. Identify where separate batches need dedicated lanes and where a different storage method would avoid inaccessible inventory. 4 ### Arrange the installation sequence Confirm where new materials will be placed and which warehouse areas must remain available. Managed installation crews follow the agreed work sequence, with access changes coordinated before affected areas are released. ## Drive-In Rack Configuration for Bulk Materials A drive-in pallet rack proposal should identify pallet dimensions, load weight, rail support points, and allowable load variation. Construction products may have substantial overhang or uneven packaging. Those characteristics affect whether loads can enter a common lane and remain properly supported during storage. Deeper lanes favor few SKUs with many pallets per SKU, particularly when replenishment arrives in substantial batches. Shallow lanes may serve smaller quantities better. We examine expected lane occupancy because empty positions trapped behind another product do not provide useful capacity for incoming material. Forklift evaluation covers the truck body, mast profile, overhead guard, and load movement during placement. Guide rails help establish the entry path where appropriate. Their position must suit the actual truck rather than creating a narrow passage that forces repeated steering corrections under stored pallets. Cold rooms can benefit from compact pallet blocks, but frozen inventory still needs workable batch rotation. Pushback offers another LIFO arrangement while keeping the forklift outside the storage structure. Comparing both approaches reveals whether deeper entry or easier access to more product lanes better fits the stock profile.

For construction supply operations along the US 550 corridor, that means examining whether entire product batches move together or leave in smaller releases. Lane assignments should protect access to needed material rather than simply maximize the number of theoretical positions. Our operation is a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., supplying and installing storage systems since 1997. We schedule and manage installation crews with defined staging areas and work boundaries, aligning the installation sequence with the warehouse activities identified during planning. Regional distribution along I-25 North can place different demands on morning staging and reserve replenishment. We account for those competing movements when positioning lane entrances. Keeping storage entry away from busy dispatch paths can reduce conflicts without assuming every shipment follows the same pattern.
