Drive-In Rack is built for exactly that situation — it turns the unused clear height in a Latonia building into working pallet positions instead of aisle. We size the drive-through racking around your pallets, your lift trucks, and the clear height in your Latonia building, factoring in bulk SKUs held deep while the pick face stays selective. You get a drawing and a line-item price for the Latonia site, not a rough estimate. Call (513) 957-3017 and we will start a Covington layout.

Those details decide a Covington design, not a standard drawing. As part of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., we have designed storage for light manufacturing and regional distribution operators around the Covington riverfront since 1997 — enough history that the highest density available for a small number of SKUs rarely surprises us mid-project. We also keep the Covington drive-in rack layout on file, so adding a bay next year or replacing a bent frame does not start from scratch.

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 Every Covington drive-in rack project begins with the numbers: what you store, how heavy it is, what lifts it, and how tall the usable space is. That Covington conversation happens over the phone and usually takes about fifteen minutes. Our design team turns that into a CAD layout with drive-in rack position counts, load capacity per level, and an itemized quote for the Covington site. Because this system trades on the highest density available for a small number of SKUs, we usually model an alternative configuration on the same footprint, so you weigh positions against picking speed with real numbers rather than a sales pitch. Drive-In Rack delivery windows are built around your Covington riverfront dock so trailers do not sit and wait. Installation partners work off the Covington drive-in rack drawing you approved, tag capacities on completion, and phase the job by zone or shift. Parts, added drive-in rack positions, and later reconfigurations go through the same Covington contact.
