Drive-In Rack in Placitas, NM
Placitas operations managing small mixed loads that cannot share one storage specification cannot afford bulk stock occupying more aisles than its SKU count needs. Around the NM-165 corridor and nearby Bernalillo interchange, 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 a specialty storage building reached from NM-165, we check forklift dimensions, pallet support, and lane clearances and plan around checking building access before choosing long storage runs. Your free design consultation compares the storage or move plan with your daily work. Send the floor dimensions and load information for your Placitas, NM facility; you receive a layout and itemized scope before equipment is ordered or moved.
Why Placitas Warehouses Work With Us
A Placitas project needs a plan that respects the NM-165 corridor and nearby Bernalillo interchange, not simply a drawing with a different town printed on it. Access from NM-165 and I-25 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 specialty producers and contractor supply operations, 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 Placitas 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 checking building access before choosing long storage runs.

How Drive-In Rack Works in Placitas
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 Placitas Drive-In Rack Project Includes
Your drive-in rack project in Placitas starts with a working inventory and building review. We collect dimensions, load weights, handling-equipment details, and the receiving and shipping pattern. For a specialty storage building reached from NM-165, that includes checking building access before choosing long storage runs. 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 NM-165 and I-25. The itemized quote separates equipment, accessories, labor, and agreed coordination work so your Placitas 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.
