Dense lanes, freezer-rated options, free layout. Call (269) 390-9036 today." lang: en --- Image: Drive-In Rack in a warehouse (https://kalamazoopalletrack.com/assets/drive-in-hero-CA5gVqly.jpg) # Drive-In Rack in Kalamazoo, MI Drive-in rack lets the forklift drive into the lane and set pallets on rails on each side. With no aisle between pallets, it is the densest pallet storage there is. It suits deep runs of the same product: frozen food, bulk ingredients, packaging stock. In the cooler and freezer buildings of Van Buren County, every square foot of cold room is expensive to run, so density pays. (269) 390-9036: 2693909036 ## Dense Pallet Racks for Freezers and Coolers A freezer in the Paw Paw area costs money to keep cold whether a slot holds a pallet or not. Drive-in can roughly double what the same room holds against selective rack, as long as each lane holds one SKU. We specify rails and frames for the room and plan lane depth around your lot sizes so lanes empty out cleanly.

In a reused plant at Comstock Township (https://kalamazoopalletrack.com/service-area/comstock-township)'s Midlink Business Park or a legacy building in Dowagiac (https://kalamazoopalletrack.com/service-area/dowagiac), drive-in blocks can fill odd bays between columns where an aisle would not fit. Bulk raw material for food processing and packaging also stores well in drive-in close to the line. ## Forklift Fit and Lane Width Lane width is set by your truck's overall width and mast, plus clearance on each side. We measure the truck, not just the brochure. Operators need to drive straight in and back out, so guide rails at the floor are standard. Drive-in is last in, first out. If you need first-in, first-out with the same density, look at drive-through or pallet flow (https://kalamazoopalletrack.com/products/pallet-flow-rack). ## Planning Drive-In Storage 1 ### Count lots Pallets per SKU and how often each lot turns. 2 ### Measure trucks Overall width, mast height and lift height. 3 ### Set depth and levels Lanes sized to lots; levels sized to clear height. 4 ### Install Frames anchored to the floor, rails and guides set and checked.

Our warehouse relocation service (https://kalamazoopalletrack.com/warehouse-relocation) handles teardown, transport and reinstall. ## Get a Drive-In Rack Layout Send the basics and we will come back with a layout and an itemized quote.
