Drive-through racking usually fixes it, because it changes how much of a Kenwood Road business parks floor plate is actually available to store product without moving a wall. Because this system is about bulk SKUs held deep while the pick face stays selective, we start with the storage math for your Blue Ash footprint — how many positions it can carry and what that does to travel time — then send a CAD layout and an itemized quote before anything is ordered. Call (513) 957-3017 and tell us what you are storing in Blue Ash. Get a Free Quote[(513) 957-3017]() ## Why Blue Ash Warehouses Work With Us No two buildings near the Reed Hartman corridor carry the same combination of clear height, aisle width, and floor loading, which is why we draw every Blue Ash layout to the site instead of pulling one off a shelf. We have been laying out drive-in rack for medical and lab supply and technology distribution operations in the Blue Ash market as part of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co. since 1997, and the highest density available for a small number of SKUs is the drive-in rack fit question we work through with your Blue Ash team before quoting. Service does not stop at handoff on a Blue Ash job either. If a drive-in rack level needs to move in your Kenwood Road business parks building or a beam gets damaged, the same team that designed the system answers the phone.

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 a lane that takes daily contact from forklifts is a lane that will eventually need repair. ## What a Drive-In Rack Project Includes A Blue Ash drive-in rack project starts with a phone call. We go through pallet footprint and weight, forklift type and lift height, clear height under the sprinklers in your Reed Hartman corridor building, column spacing, and how fast product turns. Then you get the drive-in rack drawing for your Reed Hartman corridor building: pallet positions, beam or rail elevations, aisle centerlines, and total capacity, priced line by line with beam capacity noted at every level. We often show two versions of the same Blue Ash floor plan — the highest density available for a small number of SKUs — so you compare storage against throughput before choosing. Drive-In Rack delivery into Blue Ash is coordinated around your schedule, and installation partners build to the approved drawing, anchor every frame, and confirm the system performs loaded before turning it over. The job is phased so your Blue Ash operation keeps running, and teardown, reconfiguration, or adding a lane later is handled by the same team.
