Removing aisles between storage rows puts more inventory into a defined footprint, provided your stock can move in batches rather than by individual pallet selection. This is among the densest pallet storage arrangements available. It works best with many pallets of relatively few SKUs, consistent loads and a replenishment routine that keeps lanes assigned to compatible inventory. Start with actual pallet counts and movement records, not a target storage number alone. Tulsa Pallet Rack is a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., a rack supplier and installer since 1997. Our planning starts with pallet condition, load weight and the lift trucks already working inside your building. (918) 296-8162 ## Where Drive-In Pallet Rack Earns Its Space A deep block can hold reserve inventory while a separate picking area handles smaller orders. That separation matters: opening deep lanes for frequent mixed-product retrieval adds handling and can leave usable positions stranded behind the wrong stock. Group products by replenishment pattern as well as SKU. Cooler and freezer cube is especially valuable because every aisle occupies refrigerated volume. Consolidating compatible pallets can reduce aisle space within that enclosure. Check clear height, load height and operating temperature before choosing levels; colder storage does not excuse tight handling clearances. Pushback is worth comparing when several SKUs need their own accessible lanes and operators should stay outside the structure. Selective rack is the better starting point when virtually every pallet needs direct access. Density only helps if the storage arrangement matches shipping work.

Drive-in rack placement should preserve the approach space between dock staging, lane entrances and other daily work. Building supplies Service-parts storage Regional distribution ## How Drive-In Rack Lanes Handle Pallets The operating sequence sets the drive-in pallet rack lane arrangement. A driver needs a clear placement pattern and enough visibility to place each load without contacting the structure. 1 ### Enter the lane Forklifts drive into storage lanes, carrying pallets above continuous support rails. The pallet rests on those rails rather than on conventional front and rear beams. 2 ### Choose the stock sequence Drive-in storage has one open end and normally follows last-in, first-out, or LIFO. Drive-thru racking opens both ends and can support first-in, first-out, or FIFO, with receiving and withdrawal managed from opposite sides. 3 ### Match the truck envelope Mast height, truck width and turning clearance decide lane dimensions and entrance spacing. Measure the truck with its attachments and check its lifting capability at the intended working height. 4 ### Set rail support Rail and guide sizing must suit pallet dimensions, supported edges and loaded weight. Confirm bearing overlap and clearance with representative pallets, including any pallet overhang. ## Drive-In Rack Details That Protect the Layout Guide rails help align the truck on entry; column guards and rail-end protection address exposed contact points. None replaces deliberate driving or damaged-component inspections. Discuss protection while setting lane width so the guards do not consume clearance the truck requires. Measure the slab, overhead obstructions and the full travel route before settling the storage block. For mostly non-air-conditioned buildings, plan installation staging around summer heat. Keep receiving routes separate from assembly work and allow for weather-related delivery changes without promising a fixed installation window.
