If that is the problem on your floor today, drive in pallet rack should be compared against your actual inventory and building constraints before more space is leased. The forklift enters a lane and places matching pallets on support rails, reducing separate aisle space. That suits a small number of SKUs held in depth, but it limits independent access. Drive-in generally works from one face; drive-through provides access at both ends when the operating plan supports FIFO. We check the actual truck dimensions and loaded clearances before deciding whether bulk lanes belong in this building. (414) 260-3593 ## Why New Berlin Warehouses Work With Us New Berlin Industrial Park brings manufacturing and distribution close together along the Moorland Road corridor. A packaging supplier may need reserve pallets, an active case-pick area and room for outgoing bundles within one building. Each zone has a different access requirement. I-43 supports regional freight movement, but the rack plan must account for replenishment frequency and the stock that stays between shipping cycles, rather than assuming every load turns at the same pace. For bulk reserve, the design starts with SKU depth and the truck that will enter each lane. Drive in warehouse racking needs clear mast, chassis and load access, along with guides and protection specified for the layout. We compare expected lane occupancy with a selective alternative; partially empty lanes are not extra capacity. Items with frequent individual picks can remain in selective rows while matching reserve pallets occupy the deeper area.

Packaging Building products Wholesale distribution ## How Drive-In Rack Works No aisles. The forklift enters the structure, and the floor holds more pallets per square foot than any other system. 1 ### Continuous rails, not beams Pallets rest on rails carried by upright frames rather than individual beam levels, so a lane accepts pallet after pallet at the same elevation. 2 ### The truck enters the lane The driver travels inside the bay to place or retrieve each load. Lane width, rail height, and mast clearance get dimensioned to that specific truck, not a generic one. 3 ### One open end or two One open end gives LIFO and the highest density available. Two open ends give FIFO with slightly fewer positions, since each lane now needs clearance from both sides. 4 ### Guarding built into the design Guide rails, column guards, and rail-end protection are part of the spec from the start, because daily forklift traffic makes protection and clear operating space important. ## What a Drive-In Rack Project Includes The design starts with the forklift, not the rack. Mast height, overall width, load backrest, and turning clearance decide lane dimensions, so truck specifications get collected before anything is drawn. Next we look at SKU depth. Drive-in rewards deep lanes of a single product and punishes variety - if a lane never fills, you've built an expensive way to store less than you could have with selective. Where the inventory profile is mixed, we'll usually recommend a hybrid: selective at the pick face, drive-in behind it for reserve. The quote itemizes frames, rails, rail supports, guide rails, and column protection, with a CAD drawing showing lane depth, rail elevations, and total positions. Installation partners anchor, plumb, and align every rail run, then verify a loaded pallet travels the full lane before handing the system over. Drive-in lanes need protection suited to the trucks using them. We specify guide rails and guards with the new system and review operating clearances before installation. Before scheduling the drive-in rack project in New Berlin, WI, we confirm the building access arrangements, unloading space and any review required for the proposed installation. The agreed scope distinguishes materials, installation and supporting services so you can compare proposals on the same basis. Send your drawings and current inventory profile to start that conversation.
