Call (502) 521-1485." lang: en --- Image: Drive-In Rack system inside a Kentucky warehouse (https://louisvillepalletracks.com/assets/drive-in-hero-CA5gVqly.jpg) Louisville, Kentucky # Drive-In Pallet Rack Systems in Louisville, KY Too many aisles for the number of SKUs you actually carry shows up constantly in Outer Loop facilities. Adding drive-in pallet rack is how a Louisville operation gets capacity back without paying for square footage it already has. Given the value of lane dimensions drawn around your specific lift truck, we model this against a second configuration on the same Louisville floor plan so density and access are numbers you can compare. Free to see, no obligation to order, and the drive-in rack numbers are yours either way. Call (502) 521-1485 about your Riverport building. (502) 521-1485 ## Why Louisville Warehouses Work With Us What limits storage in a Outer Loop facility is usually the layout — a column line in the wrong place, a beam pocket, a restricted equipment route. We work those Louisville constraints out on paper before quoting steel. Since 1997 we have supplied third-party logistics, e-commerce fulfillment, and 3PL operations across Louisville and the surrounding area through Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co. The consult up front, where we talk through bulk SKUs held deep while the pick face stays selective, is why the first layout is usually close to the final one. And you deal with one team throughout — drive-in rack layout, pricing, delivery windows into Riverport, installation scheduling, and parts after the fact. Nothing about the Louisville job gets handed to a call center.

Third-party logistics E-commerce fulfillment Bourbon and beverage Manufacturing Auto parts distribution ## How Drive-In Rack Works No aisles. The forklift enters the structure, and the floor holds more pallets per square foot than any other system. 1 ### Continuous rails, not beams Pallets rest on rails carried by upright frames rather than individual beam levels, so a lane accepts pallet after pallet at the same elevation. 2 ### The truck enters the lane The driver travels inside the bay to place or retrieve each load. Lane width, rail height, and mast clearance get dimensioned to that specific truck, not a generic one. 3 ### One open end or two One open end gives LIFO and the highest density available. Two open ends give FIFO with slightly fewer positions, since each lane now needs clearance from both sides. 4 ### Guarding built into the design Guide rails, column guards, and rail-end protection are part of the spec from the start to help keep trucks aligned and reduce contact with the structure. ## What a Drive-In Rack Project Includes A Louisville drive-in rack project starts with a phone call. We go through pallet footprint and weight, forklift type and lift height, clear height in your Riverport building, column spacing, and how fast product turns. Next comes the drive-in rack layout itself — every position counted, every level rated, and the Louisville quote itemized by frame, beam, deck, and accessory. Because bulk SKUs held deep while the pick face stays selective changes the math, a second configuration on the same floor plan usually comes with it for comparison. Drive-In Rack delivery into Louisville is coordinated around your schedule. Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage build to the approved drawing, with the system anchored to the floor and capacity-tagged. Teardown, reconfiguration and later additions go through the same contact. High volume of a small number of SKUs Seasonal or buffer inventory held in bulk Cold storage and freezer rooms where cube matters most Product too fragile to floor-stack more than two high Buildings where floor space, not height, is the binding constraint Call (502) 521-1485: (502) 521-1485 ## Recent Installations Racking projects completed for warehouses across Greater Louisville and Southern Indiana.
