We lay out two configurations side by side so you see the tradeoff.

Drive-in rack is one of the more direct ways for a Shelbyville building to add capacity without touching the envelope. Given the value of bulk SKUs held deep while the pick face stays selective, we model this against a second configuration on the same Shelbyville floor plan so density and access are numbers you can compare. Free to see, no obligation to order, and the drive-in rack numbers are yours either way. Call (502) 521-1485 about your Shelbyville Business Park building. (502) 521-1485 ## Why Shelbyville Warehouses Work With Us The industrial stock near Shelbyville Business Park ranges from older infill space to newer construction, and each one limits a racking plan differently. Height, columns, and floor condition all move the answer in Shelbyville. We have been laying out drive-in rack for manufacturing and equine and agricultural supply operations in the Shelbyville market as part of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co. since 1997, and the highest density available for a small number of SKUs is the drive-in rack fit question we work through with your Shelbyville team before quoting. And you deal with one team throughout — drive-in rack layout, pricing, delivery windows into Shelbyville Business Park, installation scheduling, and parts after the fact. Nothing about the Shelbyville job gets handed to a call center.

Manufacturing Equine and agricultural supply Beverage and spirits Regional distribution ## How Drive-In Rack Works 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 help keep trucks aligned and reduce contact with the structure. ## What a Drive-In Rack Project Includes A Shelbyville drive-in rack project starts with a phone call. We go through pallet footprint and weight, forklift type and lift height, clear height in your Shelbyville Business Park building, column spacing, and how fast product turns. Next comes the drive-in rack layout itself — every position counted, every level rated, and the Shelbyville quote itemized by frame, beam, deck, and accessory. Because the highest density available for a small number of SKUs changes the math, a second configuration on the same floor plan usually comes with it for comparison. Drive-In Rack lead time is confirmed on your quote, and delivery is scheduled around your Shelbyville receiving hours. Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage build to the drawing, with the system anchored to the floor, aligned and capacity-tagged. Your team gets a documented layout for future additions. 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 (502) 521-1485: (502) 521-1485 ## Recent Installations Racking projects completed for warehouses across Greater Louisville and Southern Indiana.
