Pallet Racks in Edgewood, NM

Pallet racks in Edgewood, NM need to account for long contractor materials as well as ordinary pallet loads. New industrial warehouse racking and cantilever rack serve different storage jobs, and Santa Fe Pallet Rack helps define each before equipment is selected.

I-40 Exit 187, NM344 and NM333 connect contractor storage to bays up to 16 feet clear. Measure the actual usable height rather than assuming every available level can be served by the forklift.

Selective teardrop bays address mixed-SKU inventory where individual pallets need access. For contractor or agricultural stock, identify which loads must be retrieved independently and which represent repeated quantities of the same product. This distinction gives the layout a purpose beyond filling the available area with an undifferentiated set of storage positions.

Measure pallets before choosing bay dimensions. A 42-inch upright is a common starting point for a 48-inch-deep pallet. For 40-inch pallets, 96-inch beams can hold two and 144-inch beams can hold three. A 108-inch beam is another dimension to evaluate. These references organize the conversation; they do not replace a layout based on your actual inventory.

Start by separating palletized inventory, long materials and products picked by the case.

A smaller vertical envelope makes the relationship between beam locations, pallet dimensions and aisle access especially important to the finished storage plan.

Provide pallet size, the greatest load specified per level, clear height and building size to request a free CAD layout. The drawing establishes an exact position count from the space and handling requirements. The itemized quote then reflects pallet positions, height, beam capacity, decking, freight and installation, making the equipment decisions visible rather than presenting an unexplained total.

Santa Fe Pallet Rack supplies new material and coordinates installation through experienced installation crews we schedule and manage. Standard rack components may use the 48-hour quick ship program, with the selection confirmed in the quotation. Other equipment takes longer. Installation timing reflects bay count and readiness, so establish both the material schedule and the installation scope before making operational assumptions.

Available clear height and forklift lift height both determine where storage levels can be placed. Resolve those measurements before calculating pallet positions. Then include the aisle width required by the actual truck. Typical planning ranges are 12 to 13 feet for counterbalance, 8 to 10 for reach and 5 to 6 for VNA equipment, rather than one width for all forklifts.

Capacity must follow the intended loading pattern. Beam capacity is stated for a pair at each level, while frame capacity is linked to frame height and beam spacing. Use the heaviest pallet expected in a position, not an average of light and heavy inventory. Load plaques communicate the specified limits for the chosen configuration.

Long loads belong in a cantilever discussion instead of being treated as unusually shaped pallets. Identify which materials need that form of storage and keep them distinct from the pallet list. The CAD layout can then show both storage functions with their own assigned role, rather than expecting one rack style to accommodate every load type.

Not every inventory group calls for long-load or selective equipment. Carton flow shelving addresses case picking. Pushback suits LIFO storage by SKU at two to six pallets deep, while pallet flow supports FIFO for dated inventory. Drive-in is intended for bulk quantities with few SKUs. Use these differences to screen options before adding complexity to the storage arrangement.
