Drive-In Rack in Chattanooga, TN
Drive-in rack lets a lift truck drive into the rack on rails and set pallets front to back. It is the densest common pallet storage, with almost no aisles.
In Chattanooga, it shows up most in grocery distribution and cold storage, where big runs of a few SKUs sit in expensive refrigerated space.
How Drive-In Storage Works
Pallets rest on rails on each side of the lane. Trucks enter the lane to place and retrieve loads.
Lane depth
Set by how many pallets of one SKU you hold at a time.
Truck fit
Lane width and rail height are sized to your truck and pallet.
LIFO per lane
Drive-in empties a lane before refilling it. For lane-by-lane FIFO, see pallet flow rack.


Drive-In for Cold Storage and Grocery
Freezers and coolers are costly to build and run. Drive-in packs pallets tight and shrinks the cube you pay to keep cold.
Food producers in Collegedale and LaFayette build large batches that ship together, exactly what drive-in lanes handle.
Container-staged imports through the Appalachian Regional Port near Chatsworth arrive the same way: many pallets of few SKUs.
Heavy and Bulky Goods
Heavy goods common here, such as carpet, steel and auto components, push demand for drive-in and high-capacity rack. Drive-in also handles bulky, low-density loads from furniture and tire plants in Dayton.
If drive-in is part of a move to a new building, our warehouse relocation service can phase the work.
