Your forklift drives straight into the lane and sets each pallet on continuous rails running along both sides. I have designed, quoted and installed rack for more than 25 years. We work as a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., which has supplied and installed storage since 1997. (213) 715-0940 ## Drive-In Rack for Carson Port Import Reserve Carson buildings near Watson Industrial Center, I-405 and the Alameda Corridor take freight straight off the San Pedro Bay ports. A single import booking can land dozens of identical pallets in one afternoon. Selective rows give every one of those pallets its own aisle face, which wastes floor on a product nobody needs to reach individually. Drive-in pallet rack removes most of those aisles, so the same footprint holds far more loads. Some newer Carson infill buildings also run cooler or freezer rooms for imported food. Chilled space costs real money per cubic foot, and dense lanes keep that box small. See the Carson service area page (https://losangelespalletrack.com/service-area/carson) for other storage we supply here.

Port logistics Consumer goods distribution Industrial supply ## How We Lay Out Drive-In Pallet Rack in Carson Every Carson job starts with your inventory, then your trucks, then the steel. Here is the sequence. 1 ### SKU depth check We count pallets per item on hand so each lane fills with one product and empties cleanly. 2 ### Lift and pallet fit Mast width, overhead guard height and pallet size set the lane opening and rail spacing. 3 ### CAD drawing The drawing shows lane depth, levels, position counts and how lanes face the dock. 4 ### Managed install Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage set rails, guides and uprights in phases. ## Rails, Lanes and Lift Fit for Carson Drive-In Systems The standard drive-in layout is last in, first out. Pallets load from one face and come back out the same way. That works well for import stock with no expiration date, like packaged consumer goods waiting on store orders. When rotation matters, drive-thru racking opens both ends of the lane. One side loads, the other side picks, and the oldest pallet leaves first. That needs an aisle on each end, so we check whether your Carson floor plan allows it. Rail sizing follows the pallet. We confirm pallet width, bottom boards and the heaviest load, then set rail profile and spacing. Floor-level guide rails help drivers stay centered so they do not strike uprights deep inside the lane. Drive-in is not always the answer. If each item has only three or four pallets, pushback rack in Carson (https://losangelespalletrack.com/service-area/carson/pushback-rack) usually gives better selectivity per lane. If dated food has to rotate strictly, pallet flow rack in Carson (https://losangelespalletrack.com/service-area/carson/pallet-flow-rack) feeds the oldest load forward by gravity. Plan the dock side too. Lanes facing receiving doors shorten each put-away trip, while a clear staging strip in front of the block keeps trailers unloading without waiting on a lift that is backing out. Carson yards are tight, so we draw truck paths before steel goes on the plan. Pallet condition counts more in deep lanes than in open rows. A cracked bottom board sitting six positions back is hard to reach and harder to replace, so we suggest a simple inbound check for container freight before loads go into the block. Our drive-in rack product page (https://losangelespalletrack.com/products/drive-in-rack) explains the hardware in more depth. The free consultation includes a layout and itemized pricing for material, freight and installation.
