In both, the appeal is the same, because lanes stacked several pallets deep store far more product than rows of selective bays. (617) 404-1171 Haverhill wholesalers and building-supply firms holding large quantities of a few items get the most from it. We also leave room at the end of each block for a pallet jack or a quick inspection walk, which Broadway-area buildings often lack once rack fills the floor completely. ## How Drive-In Pallet Rack Works in Practice Lane depth deserves its own conversation. A Haverhill wholesaler holding twelve pallets of an item might choose two six-deep lanes rather than one twelve-deep lane, so two products can be accessed and partially emptied lanes do not trap space. We model a few options and show positions gained against honeycombing, the term for half-empty lanes that cannot accept other items. Building-supply operators often store bagged goods and boxed fixtures this way. The heavy bags go low and the lighter cartons ride on higher ledges. Winter adds one more factor. Pallets from unheated trailers can carry snow onto the rails, so a short shedding area inside the door keeps lanes cleaner. A forklift enters a lane, guided by rails along the floor, and sets the pallet on ledges attached to the uprights. The next pallet goes in front of it. Retrieval reverses the process, so the pallet nearest the opening leaves first. Operators need training for this. Driving inside the structure demands slower speeds and attention to clearances that selective rack never requires. ## Older Broadway Floors and Drive-In Rack Layouts Finally, think about who drives. Ward Hill operations that rotate seasonal staff should limit lane work to trained operators, with painted lane numbers and posted weight limits at every entry to keep things straightforward. Older buildings in this part of Haverhill often run 14 to 22 ft clear with columns at close intervals. That suits drive-in, since depth replaces height. We fit lane blocks between column lines and make sure each lane entry has room for a straight approach. Floor condition matters. Cracks and uneven slabs can affect truck travel inside lanes, so we note them during the visit. ## Ward Hill Space and Drive-Thru Racking Newer Ward Hill buildings sometimes allow aisles on both sides of a block. That opens the door to drive-thru racking, loading from one end and shipping from the other for first-in, first-out flow. E-commerce operators there may still prefer selective for the wide catalog, keeping drive-in for bulk reserve. ## Picking the Right Dense System Drive-in maximizes pallets per square foot but limits access. Haverhill pushback rack (https://bostonpalletrack.com/service-area/haverhill/pushback-rack) gives each lane its own face. Pallet flow rack in Haverhill (https://bostonpalletrack.com/service-area/haverhill/pallet-flow-rack) guarantees rotation for dated goods. We price all three when the inventory profile is borderline.
