Smaller manufacturing spaces along the Highway 169 approach need to balance hand picking, machine access and pallet storage. A dense rack block should not cut off the routes used every shift. Drive-In Rack in New Hope, MN starts with that constraint. If bulk quantities are using floor that could be organized into dedicated storage lanes, we compare continuous pallet support rails inside lanes entered by the forklift against your current arrangement. Request a free design consultation and an itemized quote before ordering the system or scheduling the move. (612) 509-6602 ## Why New Hope Warehouses Work With Us A project near Highway 169 should be planned around the work happening inside that particular New Hope building. Smaller manufacturing spaces along the Highway 169 approach need to balance hand picking, machine access and pallet storage. A dense rack block should not cut off the routes used every shift. We map receiving, production and shipping access before setting storage positions. For light manufacturing and service parts operations around the 42nd and 49th Avenue industrial areas, drive-in rack needs to support deep reserve storage with limited direct access. Measure the forklift mast, load backrest and operating clearance before fixing lane width. Dedicate lanes to compatible loads and quantities, verify pallet rail bearing, and agree one-ended or two-ended access against the rotation requirement. The layout and itemized quote make those decisions visible before components are ordered. Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co. provides the storage consultation through Minneapolis Pallet Rack. You keep one point of contact for the proposed layout, scope and scheduling discussions. We review access from 42nd Avenue and the space available for unloading, and identify the work zones that must be isolated.

Light manufacturing Service parts Packaging supply ## How Drive-In Rack Works Fewer access aisles. The forklift enters the structure to store multiple pallets of the same SKU in depth. 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 provides last-in, first-out storage from a single access aisle. 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 forklifts operate inside the structure and the layout needs protection from contact. ## What a Drive-In Rack Project Includes A drive-in rack project in New Hope begins with a load and workflow review. We collect dimensions, maximum weights, SKU quantities and movement rates, then check clear height, column spacing, floor condition and forklift specifications against the proposed storage zone. We also ask how receiving, inspection and shipping share the floor so recovered positions do not simply create another congestion point. Measure the forklift mast, load backrest and operating clearance before fixing lane width. Dedicate lanes to compatible loads and quantities, verify pallet rail bearing, and agree one-ended or two-ended access against the rotation requirement. The free design consultation turns these inputs into a proposed layout with storage counts, elevations and access paths. Where two systems could work, the comparison shows the storage and operating trade-offs instead of presenting a single answer without the math. The itemized scope identifies new rack components, supports, protection and installation. Our team handles the permit side for you. Manufacturer compatibility and actual capacities are checked before approval. Delivery timing and staging are discussed against available unloading space, and the installation area must be emptied and isolated from live warehouse traffic. Installation and handover follow the approved drawing. Moving parts on flow or pushback systems require travel checks with representative loads; fixed systems require their specified alignment and protection, with the rack anchored to the floor. The completed New Hope arrangement includes the agreed capacity documentation and operating guidance. If future changes add levels, heavier loads or a new product mix, the configuration should be reviewed again rather than assuming the original ratings still apply. 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 (612) 509-6602: (612) 509-6602 ## Recent Installations Racking projects completed for warehouses across the Twin Cities metro.
