Pallet Racks in Ohkay Owingeh, NM

Pallet racks in Ohkay Owingeh, NM work best when pallet storage and parcel handling are treated as separate requirements. Santa Fe Pallet Rack supplies new warehouse pallet racks and carton flow shelving, with the layout based on what is stored and how it is retrieved.

LANL receiving and distribution parcel checks make selective and carton storage relevant here. Begin with those distinct handling tasks rather than assuming one rack format covers the whole inventory.

Selective teardrop bays offer a practical starting point for mixed-SKU pallet inventory. The key question is which pallets must remain individually accessible. Record that requirement alongside pallet dimensions and the heaviest expected load, then establish the number of bays and levels. A position count without the corresponding access plan does not settle the storage question.

Common dimensional references help organize the first drawing. A 48-inch-deep pallet commonly leads to consideration of a 42-inch upright. Two 40-inch pallets can be stored on 96-inch beams, and three on 144-inch beams; 108-inch beams provide another size to discuss. Confirm the actual pallet and loading arrangement before choosing components from those examples.

Identify full-pallet reserve loads before allocating space to smaller case-picking tasks.

The layout should identify which loads need independent pallet access, which products are picked in cases and what maximum weights belong at each storage level.

Carton flow shelving serves case-picking work rather than full-pallet storage. Separate the cases that need picking access from the reserve loads supporting that activity. That distinction lets the layout assign a clear purpose to each storage section instead of treating all inventory as if it arrives and leaves in complete pallet quantities.

Rotation requirements also matter when evaluating other storage formats. Pallet flow supports FIFO for dated stock. Pushback instead follows LIFO by SKU and holds pallets two to six deep. Drive-in storage addresses bulk quantities of few SKUs. These are different operating choices, not interchangeable names for greater capacity, so identify the inventory method before selecting the equipment.

Use the heaviest pallet as the basis for capacity selection. A beam pair has a capacity at each level, while a frame’s capacity is determined by its height and beam spacing. The specified arrangement therefore matters as much as the individual component description. Load plaques should communicate the specified loading limits for the completed configuration.

Height calculations need both the clear building height and forklift lift capability. Aisles must also suit the actual truck: counterbalance planning commonly starts near 12–13 feet, reach trucks near 8–10, and VNA near 5–6. These ranges guide the discussion, but the handling equipment establishes the requirement used to develop the exact pallet-position count.

Provide building size, clear height, pallet size and the heaviest load per level for a free CAD layout and itemized quote. The quotation reflects pallet positions, height, beam capacity, decking, freight and installation. Reviewing those items separately helps keep the storage decisions visible and avoids treating a preliminary component list as a complete installation scope.

Our offer covers design, new material supply and installation by experienced installation crews we schedule and manage. A 48-hour quick ship program is available for standard pallet rack components, with the selected material confirmed during quoting. Other rack types require longer timing. Bay count and readiness determine installation scheduling, so shipment timing should not be read as a promise of a completed installation.
