Free design consultation: (410) 305-9766." lang: en --- Image: Drive-In Rack system inside a Maryland warehouse (https://baltimorepalletracks.com/assets/drive-in-hero-CA5gVqly.jpg) Owings Mills, Maryland # Drive-In Rack in Owings Mills, Maryland Drive-in rack in Owings Mills suits consumer-products distributors on the I-795 corridor that hold deep reserve of a few items and want to stay in their current building. Lift trucks pull straight inside and rest each load on side rails, so reserve that once took several rows fits in one compact block. (410) 305-9766 ## Consumer Products and Drive-In Pallet Rack Paper goods, cleaning supplies and packaged consumer items often arrive in full loads. When a distributor near Owings Mills Boulevard holds many pallets of a few such items, drive-in pallet rack stores them densely. The rest of the catalog stays selective. Reisterstown Road tenants often share yards and docks with neighbors, so outside traffic near the block is another reason to keep those weekly walks on the calendar and protectors in good condition.

Items with ten or more pallets on hand are drive-in candidates. Items with three to six fit pushback. Fewer stay selective. ## Flex and Distribution Buildings The northwest side mixes flex buildings in the New Town business area with larger distribution space toward I-695. Clear heights vary from building to building, which changes how many levels are possible. A drive-in rack in a flex building may run three or four pallets high. ## LIFO and Drive-Thru Racking Single-entry lanes release the last pallet in first. For dated consumer goods, drive-thru racking opens both ends and adds an aisle so the oldest pallet leaves first. ## Rails, Pallets and Overhang Rails support pallet edges. Loads must stay within the pallet footprint; overhang catches uprights as trucks enter. ## Truck Fit and Guides Lanes are built around the truck. Floor guides at entrances center it; post protectors take bumps. Send truck specs before design. Reisterstown Road buildings often have tight yards, so approach space in front of the block also matters. ## Service Supply Reserve Regional service suppliers carry bulk consumables for field crews. A few of those items may justify a small drive-in block near receiving. ## Pushback and Pallet Flow Alternatives Items with moderate depth fit pushback rack in Owings Mills (https://baltimorepalletracks.com/service-area/owings-mills/pushback-rack). Dated items fit an Owings Mills pallet flow system (https://baltimorepalletracks.com/service-area/owings-mills/pallet-flow-rack). ## Lane Depth in an Owings Mills Drive-In Rack Depth follows stock per item. If paper goods land thirty pallets at a time and you stack five high, six deep holds them. In smaller flex suites, shallower lanes stay fuller. A drive-in rack is only dense when lanes are full. ## Approach and Yard Space Leave a front aisle wide enough for your sit-down trucks to swing and line up before entering. Place the block near receiving so full loads go straight into lanes. ## Weight and Mast Clearance Steel gauge comes from your heaviest load and the total stacked in each lane. Inside each lane, the overhead guard needs room under the first rail level, which can cost a level in lower flex buildings. ## Drive-In Rack Checks for Flex Suites Walk the openings once a week. Look for bent posts, knocked rails and loose anchors, and clear lane floors of wrap and broken boards. A drive-in rack in a small suite holds a large share of your reserve, so a closed lane matters. Report any contact for review. Spare protectors are inexpensive to keep on hand. Ask drivers to note bumps on a simple log at the end of the block. ## Planning an Owings Mills Drive-In Rack Ours is a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., where supplying and installing rack has been the work since 1997.
