Light manufacturers near Clovis Industrial Park often hold raw packaging, bottles or boxed components in long, identical runs. Those runs are exactly what lane storage was built for. The idea is simple. Forklifts travel into the rack structure itself, setting pallets on continuous rails instead of beams. Aisles between rows disappear. You trade individual pallet access for cube, so the inventory profile has to justify that trade before anything gets ordered. A typical Clovis case: a plant receives corrugated packaging forty pallets at a time, uses a few each shift, and has nowhere to put the rest. Drive-in pallet rack holds that reserve in a compact block while line-side bays stay selective. The plant gains floor without losing direct access to the parts it touches daily. (559) 620-5206 ## Is Drive-In Pallet Rack Right for a Clovis Plant? Count pallets per SKU first. If most items in your Clovis building keep two or three pallets on hand, lanes will sit half empty. If a few items keep twenty or more, a dense block starts paying for itself. Plants along the SR-168 corridor frequently mix production supplies with finished goods. We usually split those: matching reserve goes into lanes, while assortment stays in selective bays near the line. Fresno Pallet Racks operates as a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., which has been supplying and installing warehouse storage since 1997. That background shapes how we read a floor plan before suggesting steel. Drive-in rack also suits plants that pre-build finished goods ahead of a seasonal order. Those pallets are identical, they ship together, and they rarely need to come out in a set sequence.

Light manufacturing Parts distribution Order fulfillment ## How Drive-In Racking Works Inside the Lane Every lane behaves like a narrow tunnel with ledges on each side, so the truck and the load both need clearance. In Clovis plants, we often start a drive-in rack block four or five lanes wide and leave room to extend it when production grows. 1 ### Rails, not beams Pallets rest on load rails running front to back. The pallet's bottom boards bridge the gap between rails, which is why pallet condition matters more here than in selective rack. 2 ### Last in, first out A drive-in layout loads and unloads from one face. The newest pallet comes out first, so rotation-sensitive items need another plan. 3 ### Guide rails Floor-level guides help drivers stay centred while reversing. Their height and spacing follow your truck's track width and mast. 4 ### Truck fit Overhead guard height, mast width and pallet overhang set the opening dimensions. We size lanes around your actual forklifts rather than a catalogue drawing. ## Quoting a Clovis Drive-In Rack Package Send us SKU counts, pallet dimensions, load weights and the model of each forklift that will enter the lanes. A clear-height measurement and a rough sketch of columns and doors help us lay out rows that actually fit. Installation is handled by experienced installation crews we schedule and manage, and the structure is anchored to the floor. We stage material so production around the work zone keeps moving. Before buying, walk the proposed block with your lead driver. Ask whether the trucks you own can enter a lane, lift to the highest rail and back out without striking an upright. If the answer is uncertain, we measure the truck ourselves. Drive-in racking rewards careful truck matching more than any other pallet storage style, and a few minutes of measuring prevents years of damaged frames. We also mark which lanes belong to which SKU on the drawing.
