Drive-In Rack is the system we reach for when the floor is full but the air above the Palm Bay Road corridor racks is not. We take the pallet weights, lift truck, and usable height from your Sarno Road industrial zone site, weigh it against aisles traded for lanes to push positions per square foot, and come back with a drawing, a position count, and a priced bill of material. Call (407) 743-8726. (407) 743-8726 ## Why Melbourne Warehouses Work With Us Buildings around the Melbourne International Airport area and the Palm Bay Road corridor are rarely uniform. Column spacing, dock aprons, and usable height differ enough from one Melbourne site to the next that a layout copied from another building wastes positions. That is part of why drive-in rack fits Melbourne operations: lane dimensions drawn around your specific lift truck. A short design consult tells you quickly whether that tradeoff works for your SKUs, or whether another system carries more of the load in a Melbourne International Airport area footprint. Clear coordination matters on a Melbourne project: scheduled freight, a direct answer on a drive-in rack revision, and one contact for planning future positions.

Aerospace and defense Electronics distribution Marine supply Light manufacturing ## 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 protect the structure from forklift contact. ## What a Drive-In Rack Project Includes A drive-in rack quote for Melbourne starts from measurements, not assumptions — clear height, column spacing, dock access, pallet weights, and which SKUs turn daily versus monthly. From there our design team produces a CAD drive-in rack layout showing positions, elevations, and aisle widths for your Melbourne floor plan, plus an itemized quote so you see cost per pallet position. Where it helps, we price a second configuration on the same plan, with lane dimensions drawn around your specific lift truck, so the tradeoff between density and access is a number instead of an opinion. Load ratings for each drive-in rack level are documented in the Melbourne drawing, not guessed in the field. New drive-in rack components are priced with a confirmed lead time, and we stage deliveries to match your Melbourne International Airport area dock. Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage set the system according to the Melbourne drawing, anchored to the floor, verify it loaded, and tag capacities. Work is sequenced zone by zone so Melbourne receiving and shipping never stop, and we stay reachable for drive-in rack layout revisions and added lanes. 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 (407) 743-8726: (407) 743-8726 ## Recent Installations Racking projects completed for warehouses across Central Florida.
