The forklift drives inside the structure and sets pallets on continuous rails, packing in far more density than a selective or pushback layout would allow in the same footprint. The cost is access: only the pallets at the open end of a lane are reachable until the ones in front move. That makes drive-in the right call for bulk volumes of a small number of SKUs near the Dublin Corporate Area, Shier Rings Road and Frantz Road — buffer stock, seasonal inventory, or product too fragile to stack more than two high on the floor. We lay out lane dimensions around your specific lift truck and SKU depth, then put the position count next to a selective plan of the same footprint so the density gain is a number you can check. 614-379-4436 ## Why Dublin Warehouses Work With Us medical device, consumer products and technology hardware operations near Shier Rings Road that carry large volumes of a handful of SKUs are the clearest fit for drive-in, because the system rewards depth and punishes variety. A lane that never fills with the same product is an expensive way to store less than selective rack would hold in the same space. Forklift dimensions drive the entire layout for a Dublin drive-in project — mast height, overall width, load backrest and turning clearance all set lane width before a single rail is drawn. Getting those truck specifications collected up front near the US-33 corridor keeps the lane from being too tight once it's loaded. Where SKU mix near Emerald Parkway is partly bulk and partly varied, we typically recommend a hybrid: selective rack at the pick face with drive-in behind it for reserve stock. That keeps daily order fulfillment from bogging down while still gaining the floor-space savings drive-in offers for the bulk portion of the inventory.

Medical devices Consumer products Technology hardware Light assembly ## How Drive-In Rack Works Storage lanes replace internal access aisles. Forklifts enter the structure to handle bulk pallets. 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, because lift trucks enter the structure during loading and retrieval. ## What a Dublin Drive-In Rack Project Includes Design for a Dublin drive-in project starts with the forklift, not the rack — mast height, overall width, load backrest and turning clearance decide lane dimensions, so truck specifications are the first thing we collect near the Dublin Corporate Area, Shier Rings Road and Frantz Road. Next we look at SKU depth for your operation. Drive-in rewards deep lanes of a single product; where the inventory mix near Shier Rings Road is more varied, a hybrid layout with selective at the pick face and drive-in behind it usually serves the operation better than converting the whole building. The quote itemizes frames, rails, rail supports, guide rails and column protection, with a CAD drawing showing lane depth, rail elevations and total pallet positions for the building along the US-33 corridor. Installation crews anchor, plumb and align every rail run, then verify a loaded pallet travels the full lane before turning the system over. Because drive-in lanes take regular contact from forklifts entering the structure, rail and guard condition is worth checking on a routine basis near Emerald Parkway so wear gets caught before it affects lane alignment. Those same rail and lane dimensions extend without redesign if a second block of lanes gets added as bulk volume grows. 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 614-379-4436: 614-379-4436 ## Recent Installations Racking projects completed for warehouses across Central Ohio.
