Both kinds of operation hold large quantities of a few items, which is where lanes beat selective rows by a wide margin. (617) 404-1171 Collapsing aisles packs more pallets into every square foot, whether that square foot is refrigerated or not. Crown Colony distributors sometimes ask whether existing selective frames can be reused. Occasionally parts can, but lanes need dedicated ledges and rails, so we review the old steel case by case. ## Freezer and Cooler Space With Drive-In Pallet Rack Refrigerated space costs more to build and more to run than ambient floor. Every aisle in a freezer is air you pay to chill. Food-service distributors holding deep stock of frozen items can store noticeably more in the same room by moving to lanes. Cold rooms bring their own details. Operators wear heavy gloves and coats, visibility can drop near doors, and frost forms on steel. Lane clearances should be generous, and lighting inside the block deserves a look. ## Building Products Near Fore River and Quincy Point Winter adds a practical layer in Quincy. Salt and slush ride in on forklift tires and collect along floor rails, especially near open dock doors. A regular sweep of the rails keeps trucks tracking straight, and our crews point out the spots most likely to collect debris during the final walkthrough. Bagged materials and boxed fixtures arrive by the truckload and leave in batches, which suits lanes. Long stock such as pipe or lumber does not belong in a lane at all; it needs cantilever arms. Buildings near Fore River and Quincy Point see humidity and salt air. A galvanized or coated finish may make sense there, especially in rooms with large doors that stay open in winter. ## Rails, Ledges and Drive-In Rack Clearances Floor rails guide the truck into each lane. Ledge spacing follows pallet width, and the first ledge must clear the forklift's overhead guard with room to spare. We measure your trucks directly. Pallets coming off cold trailers can carry ice on their bottom boards, which makes them slide on ledges. A brief staging area inside the door helps, and so does keeping ledges clean. ## Drive-Thru Racking Choices for Quincy Food Stock Standard lanes return the last pallet placed. Frozen goods rotated by date call for drive-thru racking, where the receiving crew feeds one face while order selectors work the opposite face. When the room cannot fit two aisles, Quincy pallet flow rack (https://bostonpalletrack.com/service-area/quincy/pallet-flow-rack) delivers rotation from a single block. For reserve that needs more faces per item, compare pushback rack in Quincy (https://bostonpalletrack.com/service-area/quincy/pushback-rack). Specifications sit on the drive-in rack product page (https://bostonpalletrack.com/products/drive-in-rack), and the Quincy service area hub (https://bostonpalletrack.com/service-area/quincy) lists everything else we install here. ## Planning a Quincy Install Our parent company, Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., has supplied and installed rack since 1997; Boston Pallet Rack is its division serving Greater Boston.
