Plants around the Hanford Industrial Park and along SR-198 produce cheese, dairy ingredients and packaged foods in long, uniform runs. Those runs create stacks of identical pallets waiting on trucks. Lanes put them on rails, several levels high, without forcing a forklift aisle between every row. For a Hanford cheese plant, drive-in rack can turn a crowded cooler into an organized one. Each lane holds a single make date, and supervisors can see at a glance which lanes are on hold. Compared with floor stacking, the block adds levels without loading weight onto the cartons below. (559) 620-5206 ## Drive-In Pallet Rack in a Hanford Food Plant Dairy and cheese often sit in coolers before shipment. Cooler space is expensive to build and run, so a block with few aisles often fits the room better than selective rows. Ingredient storage is different. Released and on-hold lots must stay separate, so we often assign entire lanes by status rather than mixing lots inside one lane. Fresno Pallet Racks is part of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., a supplier and installer since 1997, and our Hanford recommendations come from that long view of food warehousing. We also see drive-in pallet rack used for packaging reserve in Hanford food plants. Film, cartons and trays arrive in bulk and leave steadily, a clean fit for lanes.

Food processing Manufacturing Parts distribution ## What a Hanford Quote Includes We need your pallet type, load weights, average run size, forklift models and room dimensions. Photos of the cooler and its door openings speed things up. Rows are assembled by experienced installation crews we schedule and manage and anchored to the floor. In food plants we coordinate around sanitation and production schedules. When comparing quotes, check that each proposal states the rail profile, upright size and lane opening, not just a pallet count. Two drive-in rack quotes with the same position count can differ in truck clearance by several inches. For Hanford plants running plastic pallets, ask how the rails support the pallet deck. Drive-thru racking adds a second aisle, so compare the extra floor against the value of production-order release.

Shorter lots may fit Hanford pushback rack (https://fresnopalletracks.com/service-area/hanford/pushback-rack); strict rotation may point to Hanford pallet flow (https://fresnopalletracks.com/service-area/hanford/pallet-flow-rack).

Hanford coolers often run electric reach trucks. Their narrow chassis can allow tighter lanes, but lift height inside the lane still needs checking against the load and mast. 1 ### Single-face lanes Drive-in lanes have a closed back. They store the most pallets per square foot and suit finished goods that ship as complete runs. 2 ### Two-face lanes Drive-thru lanes are open at both ends. Production loads one side while shipping pulls from the other, approximating first-in, first-out. 3 ### Cooler details Condensation and washdown can affect finishes. We review the room conditions and recommend an appropriate coating. 4 ### Rail spacing Rails are spaced for the pallet in use. Plastic pallets common in food plants may need a different setup than wood. ## Recent Installations Racking projects completed for warehouses across Fresno and the Central Valley.
