Southeast Fresno's older cold-storage buildings and the newer South Fresno logistics boxes both use it, for different reasons. In a freezer, fewer aisles mean less air to chill. In a big distribution box, fewer aisles mean more pallets per bay of rent. Either way, the system stores many pallets of a few items, accessed by forklifts that enter the lanes. Fresno buyers usually compare two choices for deep reserve: drive-in rack or pushback. Pushback keeps trucks outside the structure and holds two to six pallets per lane. Drive-in pallet rack goes deeper and packs more pallets per square foot, but every lane needs enough of one SKU to fill it. (559) 620-5206 ## From Inventory Records to an Installed Fresno Block Share pallets per SKU, pallet size, weights, forklift models and the clear height you measured. For freezers, tell us the room temperature and how long trucks stay inside. Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage assemble the rows, and every upright is anchored to the floor. In occupied cold rooms we sequence work by zone so product moves in stages. Statewide distribution centres in South Fresno receive full trailers from the Port of Oakland and the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports. A block of drive-in rack near those receiving doors lets a trailer unload straight into reserve. When a client's order calls for a full pallet, drivers pull from the lane face; smaller orders draw from selective pick bays. Drive-thru racking becomes worthwhile when receiving and shipping docks sit on opposite walls of the building. More detail lives on the Fresno service area page (https://fresnopalletracks.com/service-area/fresno) and our drive-in rack overview (https://fresnopalletracks.com/products/drive-in-rack). For shallower reserve, look at Fresno pushback rack (https://fresnopalletracks.com/service-area/fresno/pushback-rack), and for first-in, first-out lanes see pallet flow in Fresno (https://fresnopalletracks.com/service-area/fresno/pallet-flow-rack). Freezer and cooler rooms 3PL full-trailer reserve Frozen produce and dairy Call (559) 620-5206: (559) 620-5206 ## Fresno Drive-In Racking for Freezers and Bulk Reserve Cold-storage clients in Southeast Fresno often hold frozen produce, nuts or dairy in deep, matching lots. Lane depth, rail finish and truck clearance all need extra thought when operators wear heavy gear and floors carry frost. Around Central, American and North Avenues, 3PLs store client inventory that arrives in full trailers. A dense block holds those loads while selective rack handles each pick. We are a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., supplying and installing rack since 1997. That history covers both older sheds and newer 36-foot-clear buildings, which call for very different heights. In older downtown buildings along the rail lines, columns and low clear heights complicate layouts. We fit drive-in racking around the column grid instead of assuming an open floor.

Lane blocks near those docks let full loads go straight into reserve without double handling. Food distribution Produce packing Third-party logistics Cold storage ## Sizing Drive-In Pallet Rack Lanes and Rails The forklift, the pallet and the room temperature together set every major dimension. Southeast Fresno freezers frequently have low doors and tight vestibules, which can limit the truck models available for lane work. 1 ### Lane width Clear width between uprights must pass the truck body and the pallet with margin on both sides. Reach trucks and counterbalance units need different openings. 2 ### Rail height The first rail level sits high enough for the mast and guard to pass under upper loads. Each level above follows load height plus lift-off clearance. 3 ### Guidance Floor guides keep the truck tracking straight. In freezers they help drivers who cannot see clearly through fogged guards. 4 ### Compared with pushback Pushback stores two to six pallets per lane with no truck entry. Drive-in goes deeper, often much deeper, but every SKU needs enough pallets to fill a lane. ## Recent Installations Racking projects completed for warehouses across Fresno and the Central Valley.
