Drive-In Rack converts open air above the floor into working pallet positions, tightens aisles where it is safe to, and gets product off the ground. We size drive-in pallet rack around how the building actually runs — pallet weight, forklift, ceiling height, turns — with lane dimensions drawn around your specific lift truck. Then you see the added positions and the price side by side. Call (513) 957-3017 and tell us what you are storing. Get a Free Quote[(513) 957-3017]() ## Why Cincinnati Warehouses Work With Us The industrial stock near Queensgate ranges from older infill space to newer tilt-wall, and each one limits a racking plan differently. Height, columns, and floor condition all move the answer. Since 1997 we have supplied food & beverage distribution, 3pl and warehousing, and 3PL operations across the region through Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., which means fewer surprises between the drawing and the install. You also get one point of contact. The same person who draws the layout quotes the steel, schedules delivery around your dock, and handles replacement parts two years from now.

The most pallet positions per square foot of floor. 1 ### Rails, not beams Pallets rest on continuous rails carried by upright frames. Rail elevations are set once per level, so the lane accepts pallet after pallet at the same height. 2 ### Forklift enters the lane The driver travels inside the bay to place or retrieve loads. Lane width, rail height, and mast clearance are dimensioned to your specific truck. 3 ### Drive-in versus drive through One open end gives LIFO and the highest density. Two open ends give FIFO with slightly fewer positions, since each lane needs access from both sides. 4 ### Protection built in Guide rails, column guards, and rail-end protection are part of the design, because a lane that gets clipped daily is a lane that needs repairs. ## What a Drive-In Rack Project Includes Every project here begins with the numbers: what you store, how heavy it is, what lifts it, and how tall the usable space is. That conversation happens over the phone and usually takes fifteen minutes. Our design team turns that into a CAD layout with position counts and an itemized quote. Because bulk SKUs held deep while the pick face stays selective, we usually model an alternative configuration too, so you can weigh positions against picking speed with real numbers. Standard components ship quickly, and delivery gets scheduled around your receiving hours rather than dumped in one load. Installation partners anchor, plumb, align, and capacity-tag the finished system, and we phase the work by zone so shipping keeps running. Afterward you have documented capacities, a layout your team can work from, and a local source for beams, decking, and guarding when something gets hit.
