Storage along Avenue 12 and the growing SR-99 / Avenue 17 industrial area often holds case goods by the hundreds of pallets. Beverage pallets are heavy and uniform. That combination suits rails and deep lanes, provided the frames and rails are sized for the weight and the forklift has room to work inside. Imagine a Madera winery bottling a single label for a week. That output, perhaps hundreds of pallets, needs to wait for distribution. Drive-in rack holds it in a compact block on rails, lane by lane, without heavy pallets crushing cases below. Selective rows nearby handle smaller labels and samples. (559) 620-5206 ## Rail and Frame Sizing for Drive-In Pallet Rack Heavier loads change rail profile, upright size and how high the first level can sit. Madera beverage pallets are often stretch-wrapped tall and heavy. We confirm load height after wrapping, because a few extra inches at each level can remove an entire rail level from a block. We also check the forklift's capacity at full lift height inside the lane. 1 ### Rail profile Rails are selected for load weight and pallet width. Heavy beverage pallets may need a deeper profile than lighter goods. 2 ### Uprights Taller blocks with heavy loads need uprights sized for the total column load, not just the highest level. 3 ### Lift height Drivers place upper pallets inside the lane, so the truck must lift and stay stable at full height in a narrow space. 4 ### LIFO fit Wine of one vintage and label usually ships without strict rotation, which suits last-in, first-out lanes well. ## Heavy Beverage Loads in Madera Drive-In Racking Bottled wine and beverages often cannot be stacked high on the floor without risk. Rails take the weight off lower pallets and let the building's height do the work. The newer 36-foot-clear buildings near Avenue 17 offer more levels than older valley sheds. Taller blocks need careful truck selection, since drivers lift higher inside narrow lanes. Our parent company, Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., has been supplying and installing since 1997, and Fresno Pallet Racks carries that experience into Madera beverage projects. Distribution buildings near Avenue 17 use drive-in pallet rack for beverage reserve feeding statewide routes on SR-99.

Each needs a block placed so outbound loads avoid crossing production traffic. Agricultural processing Wine and beverage storage Building materials ## Building a Madera Lane Plan Send case-pallet weights, pallet dimensions, labels and pallets per label, plus your forklift model and building clear height. Bottling schedules help us size lanes to each run. Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage handle assembly, and every frame is anchored to the floor. We schedule around bottling and harvest crush. Weight changes everything in beverage work. A drive-in racking proposal should list the design load per pallet and per lane, the rail profile and the upright size. Ask how the lowest level clears the truck's guard and how high drivers will lift inside a lane. For mixed-vintage storage, drive-thru racking or separate lanes keep each vintage accessible. We provide a lane map showing each label's assigned positions.
