Drive-In Rack in Edgewood, NM
Edgewood operations managing deliveries that need indoor staging when mountain weather changes cannot afford bulk stock occupying more aisles than its SKU count needs. Around the I-40 East Mountain corridor and historic Route 66 frontage, the immediate problem is often where the next receipt will go without closing a shipping lane. Drive-In Rack can address that pressure when support rails hold pallets in deep lanes entered by the forklift. We start with the loads and the building, not a predetermined rack package.
For an East Mountain supply building, we check forklift dimensions, pallet support, and lane clearances and plan around reserving a protected unloading zone before filling the floor. Your free design consultation compares the storage or move plan with your daily work. Send the floor dimensions and load information for your Edgewood, NM facility; you receive a layout and itemized scope before equipment is ordered or moved.
Why Edgewood Warehouses Work With Us
A Edgewood project needs a plan that respects the I-40 East Mountain corridor and historic Route 66 frontage, not simply a drawing with a different town printed on it. Access from I-40 and NM-344 affects how deliveries reach your dock, while the space inside the building decides where people, trucks, and inventory can safely work. We discuss those constraints before assigning drive-in rack to a storage zone.
For building-material supply and regional distribution, the useful starting point is the material itself: bulk packaged materials and repeat-SKU reserve stock. We review forklift dimensions, pallet support, and lane clearances, then show how one-ended last-in, first-out storage or two-ended drive-through access would change the daily operation. If the system does not fit the inventory profile, we compare an alternative rather than force the building into a poor arrangement.
Albuquerque Pallet Rack, a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., gives your Edgewood team a clear path from design consultation to a priced scope. You can review equipment, installation, delivery coordination, and any scope questions together. That makes it easier to decide what to retain, what to replace, and what to stage first while reserving a protected unloading zone before filling the floor.

How Drive-In Rack Works in Edgewood
No aisles. The forklift enters the structure, and the floor holds more pallets per square foot than any other system.
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.
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.
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.
Guarding built into the design
Guide rails, column guards, and rail-end protection are part of the spec from the start, to separate lift-truck travel from the rack structure.
What a Edgewood Drive-In Rack Project Includes
Your drive-in rack project in Edgewood starts with a working inventory and building review. We collect dimensions, load weights, handling-equipment details, and the receiving and shipping pattern. For an East Mountain supply building, that includes reserving a protected unloading zone before filling the floor. Photos and a floor plan let us flag unanswered questions before the drawing becomes a purchase decision.
We check truck width, mast clearance, and load overhang together before drawing a lane. Guide rails and upright protection belong in the initial scope. Where inventory variety is high, keeping selective rows alongside deep reserve storage often gives a better working layout.
Next, the CAD plan shows storage locations, operating aisles, staging areas, and clearances. We review one-ended last-in, first-out storage or two-ended drive-through access against the inventory that moves along I-40 and NM-344. The itemized quote separates equipment, accessories, labor, and agreed coordination work so your Edgewood operations lead can see exactly what is included. Existing components are assessed for identification, damage, compatibility, and documented capacity rather than assumed suitable.
Before installation or relocation, the scope establishes delivery access, exclusion zones, installation sequence, and the checks required at handover. Our team handles the permit side for you. The completed work is checked against the agreed drawing, with capacity documentation and operating limits provided for the configured system. Your team can then load and use the installation within those limits, with a clear record for future changes.
