Drive-In Rack in Mt. Washington, KY
An older riverfront building that was never laid out for modern pallet loads shows up constantly in Mt. Washington business district facilities. Adding drive-in pallet rack is how a Mt. Washington operation gets capacity back without paying for square footage it already has.
Given the value of lane dimensions drawn around your specific lift truck, we model this against a second configuration on the same Mt. Washington 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 Highway 44 corridor building.
Why Mt. Washington Warehouses Work With Us
The industrial stock near Highway 44 corridor 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 Mt. Washington.
Drive-In Rack suits Mt. Washington buildings for one reason — bulk SKUs held deep while the pick face stays selective — which matters more here than in a newer big-box facility built around one uniform layout. We talk through that fit during a free design consult before you commit to steel for Mt. Washington.
Service does not stop at handoff on a Mt. Washington job either. If a drive-in rack level needs to move in your Bardstown Road industrial building or you need another bay, the same team that designed the system answers the phone.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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
We start by understanding the contractor and trade supply side of your operation — pallet profile, equipment, clear height, SKU count, throughput — because those inputs decide drive-in rack capacity in a Highway 44 corridor building long before steel is quoted.
Next comes the drive-in rack layout itself — every position counted, every level rated, and the Mt. Washington quote itemized by frame, beam, deck, and accessory. Because bulk SKUs held deep while the pick face stays selective 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 we time deliveries to your Mt. Washington receiving schedule. Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage follow the drawing, with the system anchored to the floor and capacity-tagged. The layout stays on file for expansion.
