Rapid Drive-In Racking Installation Maximizes WarehouseCapacity in Colton, CA

The Challenge

A customer in Colton, California needed to increase pallet storage capacity in an area of their warehouse that had previously been used for bulk floor storage. They required a solution that could be implemented quickly without the long lead times often associated with new warehouse storage systems.

The Solution

Source Racks supplied and installed a used drive-in racking system, allowing the customer to maximize storage capacity while maintaining budget efficiency. By utilizing available inventory and coordinating an efficient installation schedule, the entire project—from order to installation—was completed in approximately one month.

The finished system provided nearly 350 pallet positions of high-density drive-in storage within the newly designated storage area.

The Results

The new drive-in racking system transformed underutilized floor space into a highly efficient storage solution, delivering:

• Nearly 350 pallet positions of additional storage capacity
• Increased warehouse cube utilization through high-density storage
• Reduced floor space required per pallet stored
• Lower project costs through the use of quality used racking
• Fast implementation with delivery and installation completed in about 30 days

Why Drive-In Racking?
