Drive-In Rack is the system we reach for when the floor is full but the air above Commonwealth Avenue racks is not. We take the pallet weights, lift truck, and usable height from your airport freight corridor site, weigh it against the highest density available for a small number of SKUs, and come back with a drawing, a position count, and a priced bill of material.

Column spacing, dock aprons, and usable height differ enough from one Erlanger site to the next that a layout copied from another building wastes positions. That is part of why drive-in rack fits Erlanger operations: aisles traded for lanes to push positions per square foot. A short design consult tells you quickly whether that tradeoff works for your SKUs, or whether another system carries more of the load in a Dolwick Drive industrial area footprint. Being close to Erlanger matters on the small things too: short delivery runs, a quick answer on a drive-in rack revision, and parts on hand when a lift truck clips a frame.

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 drive-in rack quote for Erlanger starts from measurements, not assumptions — clear height, slab condition, dock access, pallet weights, and which SKUs turn daily versus monthly. The deliverable is a drive-in rack drawing and a priced bill of material: positions, elevations, aisle widths, and capacities for your Commonwealth Avenue building. Since the design turns on aisles traded for lanes to push positions per square foot, we normally include a denser alternative on the same plan so the freight forwarding tradeoff is explicit. Drive-In Rack freight is staged to fit airport freight corridor access, and installation partners build the system exactly as drawn, then verify plumb, anchor torque, and capacity tags. Phasing keeps your Erlanger floor operating during the install, and the same crew handles later additions or a relocation.
