Lifts enter each bay, place loads on side rails and back out, so aisles shrink to almost nothing. Our company is a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., supplying and installing pallet storage since 1997. After 25-plus years in this trade, my first question is always about pallets per SKU. (213) 715-0940 ## Planning Drive-Thru Racking and Drive-In Lanes Step by Step Dense storage only works when the lane plan matches your stock. We follow these four steps. 1 ### Velocity review We separate deep, slow-turning reserve items from fast movers that belong in selective rows. 2 ### Flow direction We decide whether lanes load and unload from one face or from opposite aisles. 3 ### Clearance study Truck dimensions, mast height and column lines set bay openings and level spacing. 4 ### Phased install Work proceeds in sections so receiving and shipping keep running during the job. ## Drive-In Pallet Rack Sizing for San Gabriel Valley Buildings In a drive-in layout, the forklift carries each pallet into the bay and sets it on rails at the chosen level. Loading starts at the back. Retrieval starts at the front, so the newest pallet comes out first. That last-in, first-out pattern suits electronics cartons, boxed housewares or seasonal goods with no expiration dates. For stock that must leave oldest first, a drive-thru version opens the far side as a picking face. Lane openings need clearance for the lift chassis and the overhead guard. We measure your actual trucks rather than assuming a standard size. Rails get sized for pallet width and load weight, and entry guides protect uprights at every lane mouth. Lane depth matters most. A lane holding twelve pallets of one item works hard. A lane holding two items blocks the rear one until the front empties. We group SKUs by quantity so each lane carries one product. Operator habits matter as well. Drivers need steady speed and square entry into each bay, so we mark lane numbers at the opening and recommend a short walkthrough when the block is finished. That small step prevents most upright strikes inside the structure. A typical City of Industry plan blends both styles. Drive-in pallet rack holds the deep reserve of a handful of hero SKUs, while selective bays near the dock carry the long tail of slower items. That split keeps pickers out of the dense block except for full-pallet moves. We also confirm load counts per level. Each drive-in rack lane is rated for a set number of pallets at a stated weight, and the drawing lists those figures so supervisors can post them at every bay. When item counts are lower, pushback rack in City of Industry (https://losangelespalletrack.com/service-area/city-of-industry/pushback-rack) offers a separate face per lane level.

Hardware details sit on our drive-in rack product page (https://losangelespalletrack.com/products/drive-in-rack). High volume of a small number of SKUs Seasonal or buffer inventory held in bulk Cold storage and freezer rooms where cube matters most Product too fragile to floor-stack more than two high Buildings where floor space, not height, is the binding constraint Call (213) 715-0940: (213) 715-0940 ## Where Dense Lanes Pay Off in City of Industry City of Industry warehouses along SR-60, Valley Blvd and the Puente Hills industrial area handle import distribution, consumer electronics and third-party logistics. Many are older inner-basin buildings with 18 to 26 foot clear heights. Lower ceilings limit how high you can stack, so the gain has to come from floor coverage. Drive-in pallet rack fills that floor with lanes instead of aisles. 3PL tenants also face shifting accounts. We draw layouts that can be reconfigured when a contract ends, keeping lanes in standard depths.
