Drive In Rack in Tucson, AZ
Drive in rack in Tucson, AZ is the densest pallet storage we sell: lift trucks drive into the bay and set pallets on rails, several deep and several high. Drive in pallet rack fits freezers, coolers and bulk grocery stock where a few SKUs come in by the truckload.
Drive through pallet racking is the same structure open at both ends, so you load from one side and pick from the other. Both trade selectivity for the fewest possible aisles.
When Drive In Warehouse Racking Makes Sense
Drive-in works when each SKU fills a whole lane and turns over in batches. If you stock many SKUs with two or three pallets each, it wastes space, and pushback rack or selective rack is the better call.
SKU count and depth
We count pallets per SKU and set lane depth so lanes empty cleanly.
Truck and clearance
The truck drives inside the rack, so overall width, mast and overhead guard set the bay opening.
Rails and pallets
Pallets sit on rails by their edges. Pallet condition and orientation matter more than in selective rack.
Drive Through Rack for Cold Storage
Frozen and chilled food coming up from the Mariposa crossing in Nogales needs storage that wastes no cold air on aisles. In a freezer, a drive-through rack cuts the floor area you chill and pay for. We spec cold-rated components for these rooms.
Newer cold-capable buildings near the airport, around Tucson Commerce Center and I-10 International, are typical. So are refrigerated produce warehouses on the I-19 frontage road in Rio Rico, where 16–20 ft clear limits height and depth does the work.
Drive In Rack Layout, Quote and Install
We draw drive-in against selective so you can see the position gain and the loss of access. The itemized quote confirms lead time; drive-in is high-density and does not ship as quick-ship stock.
Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage install the frames, rails and guidance, anchored to the floor. Cooler and freezer installs are sequenced with the room schedule, and summer work starts early because of the heat. Relocating a freezer operation? See warehouse relocation.
