Drive-In Rack planning starts with that Newark constraint, not a drawing borrowed from another building. Protect receiving space around Doremus Avenue by assigning deep lanes only to products with enough repeated pallets to occupy them. We compare capacity, access, and the way your inventory moves before recommending a configuration. Send your building dimensions and load details for a free warehouse consultation. You receive a layout and itemized pricing before deciding what to order or move. (973) 318-1590 ## Why Newark Warehouses Work With Us Protect receiving space around Doremus Avenue by assigning deep lanes only to products with enough repeated pallets to occupy them. Around Port Newark and the Doremus Avenue freight corridor, the practical question is how storage will work alongside receiving, dispatch, and the space reserved for people and production. Newark operations dealing with import distribution need a plan that reflects their actual product mix rather than a generic rack count. We ask about the peak week as well as normal inventory so the drawing does not depend on an unusually quiet day. For drive-in rack, the useful comparison is what changes at the working face: aisles traded for lanes to push positions per square foot. A building in the Ironbound may have a different column grid, usable height, or loading approach from the next address. Those measurements belong in the scope before materials are priced. Newark Pallet Rack is a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co.. You have a single contact for layout revisions, the itemized scope, delivery planning, and installation coordination with installation partners. We explain the tradeoffs, identify information still needed, and keep the Newark drawing available for later expansion or replacement components. The aim is a storage plan your team can use, with clear responsibilities rather than assumptions. ## How Drive-In Rack Works 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 deep storage. 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, because a lane that takes daily contact from forklifts is a lane that will eventually need repair.

Mast height, overall width, load backrest, and turning clearance decide lane dimensions, so truck specifications get collected before anything is drawn. Next we look at SKU depth. Drive-in rewards deep lanes of a single product and punishes variety - if a lane never fills, you've built an expensive way to store less than you could have with selective. Where the inventory profile is mixed, we'll usually recommend a hybrid: selective at the pick face, drive-in behind it for reserve. The quote itemizes frames, rails, rail supports, guide rails, and column protection, with a CAD drawing showing lane depth, rail elevations, and total positions. Installation partners anchor, plumb, and align every rail run, then verify a loaded pallet travels the full lane before handing the system over. Because drive-in lanes take contact from lift trucks over time, we help identify replacement rails and guards and confirm availability before scheduling repairs. Protect receiving space around Doremus Avenue by assigning deep lanes only to products with enough repeated pallets to occupy them. For the Newark site near Port Newark and the Doremus Avenue freight corridor, we confirm receiving access and where components can be staged before agreeing on delivery windows. The finished drawing identifies the storage zones, access requirements, and capacities for the proposed arrangement. Product-specific components and testing are included in the scope rather than assumed to be interchangeable with ordinary pallet rack. You receive a written quote and a schedule based on the approved scope and confirmed availability, not an unqualified completion promise. 1 Phone consultation 2 CAD layout 3 Itemized quote 4 Delivery & installation ## Recent Installations A sample of racking projects completed across the region.
