Around Siler Road and Airport Road, 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 existing industrial building near Siler Road, we check forklift dimensions, pallet support, and lane clearances and plan around working around low obstructions and limited staging rooms. Your free design consultation compares the storage or move plan with your daily work. Send the floor dimensions and load information for your Santa Fe, NM facility; you receive a layout and itemized scope before equipment is ordered or moved. (505) 436-7469 ## Why Santa Fe Warehouses Work With Us A Santa Fe project needs a plan that respects Siler Road and Airport Road, not simply a drawing with a different town printed on it. Access from Cerrillos Road and Airport Road 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 contractor supply, specialty manufacturing, and hospitality 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 Santa Fe 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 working around low obstructions and limited staging rooms.

Government and contractor supply Specialty manufacturing Wine and spirits distribution Healthcare logistics ## How Drive-In Rack Works in Santa Fe 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 separate lift-truck travel from the rack structure. ## What a Santa Fe Drive-In Rack Project Includes Your drive-in rack project in Santa Fe starts with a working inventory and building review. We collect dimensions, load weights, handling-equipment details, and the receiving and shipping pattern. For an existing industrial building near Siler Road, that includes working around low obstructions and limited staging rooms. 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 Cerrillos Road and Airport Road. The itemized quote separates equipment, accessories, labor, and agreed coordination work so your Santa Fe 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. 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 (505) 436-7469: (505) 436-7469 ## Get a Drive-In Rack Quote for Your Santa Fe Warehouse Send the basics and we will follow up with a layout and pricing.
