Pallet Racks in Tijeras, NM

Pallet racks in Tijeras, NM should begin with the heaviest building-material load, not an average pallet weight. Santa Fe Pallet Rack supplies new industrial pallet racks and cantilever warehouse racking, matching the storage format to palletized or long inventory.

I-40, NM14 and NM333 frame building-material rack planning around 16-foot-clear bays. Confirm your own clear height and equipment reach before treating that reference as a usable rack height.

Cantilever rack is the relevant starting point for long materials. Identify those loads separately from palletized building supplies so the storage drawing does not force both categories into identical bays. The purpose of this distinction is straightforward: long-load storage and pallet storage perform different jobs, even when the products belong to the same overall inventory.

Keep the load description specific when requesting a quote. State what is stored as a long load, what arrives on pallets and what is picked in cases. Carton flow shelving serves case-picking work; it is not a substitute for long-load support. Selecting equipment by handling task gives each section a clear function before dimensions and quantities are finalized.

Describe the materials, pallet dimensions and retrieval requirements before deciding how many levels to place in a bay.

A practical storage plan separates the need to support a load from the need to reach it with the truck that will actually serve the system.

Selective teardrop bays suit mixed SKUs requiring individual pallet access. Heavy inventory makes the loading specification particularly important, but it does not change the need to identify pallet dimensions and retrieval patterns. Work from the heaviest pallet assigned to the storage position. A system should not be selected from an average that understates the maximum intended load.

Beam capacity applies to a pair at one level, while frame capacity depends on height and spacing between beams. There is no single rating that describes every arrangement of the same components. Establish level locations and intended loading together, then use load plaques to communicate the specified limits instead of assuming the component name tells the whole capacity story.

For selective storage, a 48-inch-deep pallet commonly leads to consideration of 42-inch uprights. Two 40-inch pallets can use 96-inch beams, and three can use 144-inch beams; 108-inch beams are another available dimension. Check those references against the actual pallet footprint and the specified loading arrangement before using them to establish bay quantities.

Both clear height and forklift lift height determine the usable levels. Aisle requirements also vary by truck: counterbalance equipment generally calls for around 12–13 feet, reach equipment around 8–10, and VNA around 5–6. The actual truck establishes the requirement. Include its information early so the exact pallet-position count reflects access as well as vertical space.

Consider deeper storage only where the product mix justifies it. Drive-in serves bulk quantities of relatively few SKUs. Pushback holds two to six pallets deep with LIFO handling by SKU. Pallet flow supports FIFO for dated stock. Those differences should decide whether a deeper format belongs in the layout, rather than a general desire to add positions everywhere.

We prepare a free CAD layout and itemized quote from building size, clear height, pallet size and the maximum load per level. Height, positions, capacity, decking, freight and installation affect the scope. New material supply is paired with experienced installation crews we schedule and manage. Standard component quick ship is available through the 48-hour program; other selections and installation schedules are confirmed separately based on equipment, bay count and readiness.
