Drive-In Rack in New Kensington, PA

Trace the full journey

Follow an incoming pallet from unloading through reserve storage and onward to production or dispatch. Mark shared travel paths and any turn that becomes difficult when a forklift carries the largest intended load.

Classify the stock

Record weights, dimensions, pallet construction, and batch quantities. Distinguish repeated industrial supplies from specialty metals that need different support or individual retrieval; a shared destination does not make unlike loads interchangeable.

Check truck entry

Measure truck width, mast, and overhead guard clearance against the proposed lane geometry. Establish rail bearing and guide sizing from actual equipment dimensions, including pallet overhang and the space needed to withdraw safely.

Plan the installation area

Set aside unloading and assembly space without assuming the receiving aisle can become a staging area. Coordinate crews we schedule, manage and brief, with the specified system anchored to the floor and winter access considered.

Operations We Rack Around Here

Give Alle-Kiski reserve lanes clear ownership by product family so production withdrawals do not interrupt unrelated customer inventory.

Pallets sit on support rails while the forklift travels beneath stored loads. Inspect the bearing edges and verify the complete load weight; a pallet suitable for floor stacking is not automatically suitable for rail support. Define acceptable pallet construction before accepting inventory into deep positions.

At RIDC Westmoreland in Upper Burrell, assess the individual tenant space rather than assuming its arrangement matches a Logans Ferry property. Clear height, turning space, and receiving access remain site-specific. Cooler or freezer applications need cold-rated design, with operating temperature and pallet condition included in the equipment review.
