Drive-In Rack in Los Lunas, NM

Separate reserve from picking

We review your SKU list, replenishment methods, and pallet quantities to identify deep storage candidates. Fulfillment pick faces and individually selected equipment remain separate from reserves that can tolerate restricted access within a lane.

Map the building workflow

Provide building dimensions, door locations, intended staging areas, and truck specifications. We develop an arrangement that considers entry alignment and reserve replenishment paths, rather than placing the largest possible block into otherwise unassigned space.

Confirm the operating assumptions

Review lane assignments, pallet support details, capacities, and inventory rotation before releasing the order. We identify where a different storage method belongs, especially when changing assortment would leave deep lanes repeatedly underfilled or obstruct needed stock.

Sequence the installation

Managed installation scheduling accounts for move activities and the areas available for work. Crews receive the agreed sequence, and operating handover includes the intended loading direction, pallet restrictions, and limits associated with the supplied arrangement.

Lane depth should follow actual pallet quantities per SKU rather than a target position count alone. Partly occupied lanes can waste space when each remaining pallet prevents another product from entering. We compare normal inventory, receipt peaks, and replenishment withdrawals before recommending a storage depth.

A single access face creates a last in, first out sequence, which can suit interchangeable reserve pallets. Drive-thru racking provides access from opposing ends for first in, first out operation. That alternative requires clear travel space on both sides and consistent separation of loading from retrieval.

Forklift compatibility includes chassis width, mast clearances, load handling attachments, and the approach needed to align with the lane. Rail guides help establish the entry path, while pallet rails carry elevated loads. Neither component removes the need to check the truck's full operating envelope.

For cold rooms, reducing internal aisles can concentrate inventory within the refrigerated footprint. Pushback deserves comparison when operators want to place and retrieve pallets from the aisle without entering storage lanes. Its moving carts change pallet handling, maintenance considerations, and the economics of shorter storage depths.
