Drive In Rack in Florence, KY
Drive in rack in Florence, KY gives you the most pallets per square foot of any rack type. Forklifts drive into the lanes and set pallets on rails, so drive in pallet rack replaces aisles with storage.
It is the right call for bulk product with few SKUs: cold storage, grocery, beverage and seasonal stock held in deep pallet quantities.
Drive In Warehouse Racking for Cold Storage and Grocery
Freezer and cooler space costs the most to run, so every aisle you remove pays back. Grocery and food-grade buildings on Mt. Zion Rd in Florence and Logistics Blvd in Walton store bulk SKUs where drive in warehouse racking fits well.
Drive-in is last-in, first-out from one side. If the product is dated and must rotate FIFO, pallet flow rack is the better fit.
Drive Through Rack vs. Drive-In
A drive through rack opens both ends of the lane. You load from one side and pull from the other, which gives FIFO rotation at the cost of a second aisle. Drive through pallet racking works when a building has room for load and pick aisles on opposite walls.
What Goes Into a Drive In Pallet Rack Layout
SKU count
Best with few SKUs and many pallets of each. One SKU per lane keeps it simple.
Lane depth and height
Set by pallet count per SKU and the clear height. Walton big boxes reach 32–40 ft.
Truck clearance
Lane width and rail height are set to your forklift's mast and overall width.
Pallet fit
Pallets sit on rails by their edges, so pallet size and condition must be consistent.
