Drive-in pallet rack starts with the load

Storage planning for Sandy assembly and distribution

Sandy Industrial Park and the 9000 South corridor provide useful context for component distribution and light assembly layouts: reserve pallets should replenish active work without occupying the same access space. Near Centennial Parkway, assess the building's actual storage geometry rather than assuming a flex layout accepts deep lanes. Service comes through a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., supplying and installing warehouse equipment since 1997.

Choose the access pattern

Single-face lanes use LIFO: the last pallet placed is the first available. Two-ended drive-thru racking can support FIFO when loading occurs at one end and retrieval at the other, with disciplined lane assignments.

Match depth to holdings

Use actual pallet quantities per SKU, not annual sales volume, to choose lane depth. Separate incompatible batches in the calculation. Review typical inventory alongside peaks so the design does not depend on every lane always being full.

Identify cold-room needs

For refrigerated or freezer storage, provide operating temperatures, pallet specifications and moisture exposure. Confirm the assigned truck can work in that environment, and account for clearances and handling conditions before selecting the storage components.

Test the alternatives

Pushback may suit moderate reserve depth when keeping trucks outside the structure matters. It remains LIFO. Selective positions can serve components with short runs or frequent access, while pallet flow merits evaluation for sustained FIFO movement.

For electronics or light assembly inventory, separate bulk reserve from the parts feeding daily work. Matching cartons on full pallets may justify dense lanes, while component variety belongs in more accessible storage. This division lets inventory characteristics determine the system rather than applying one arrangement throughout the building.

Compare layouts using usable pallet positions after access aisles, batch separation and expected vacancies are included. A smaller deep-lane block beside selective storage may hold the working inventory more effectively than a larger block with unsuitable lane assignments. Keep receiving and replenishment paths visible on the drawing.

Experienced crews are scheduled and managed against the agreed installation sequence, including access to each work area. Define component delivery, assembly zones and handover responsibilities in advance. Staff should receive lane identification, capacity information and an explanation of the loading order before the new reserve area enters service.

Compare reserve lanes with accessible storage

Provide pallet drawings or measurements, truck details and quantities by component family. Include the space available for receiving and production replenishment. The resulting proposal should explain which inventory belongs in deep lanes and which products need a more accessible arrangement. (801) 942-0493.
