Henry County’s freezer and cooler cluster, the King Mill Distribution Park area and the I-675 corridor toward Ellenwood are useful settings for comparing lane depth against direct-access selective rack. (770) 615-7082: 7706157082 ## A rack plan around the handled load The forklift enters a storage lane to place or retrieve pallets on the intended supports. That changes the handling and inventory rules: the truck envelope, pallet family and lane access must be compatible. McDonough Pallet Rack plans, supplies and installs new drive-in systems from those operating inputs rather than promising density from a warehouse footprint alone. Compare all six storage systems → (https://mcdonoughpalletrack.com/products) ## Repeated stock belongs in a defined lane Identify the number of pallets held for each stock line and the acceptable retrieval order. Drive-in normally uses the same face for loading and unloading, with last-in, first-out access within the lane. The layout should not assign small quantities or varied stock to deep lanes solely because those lanes fit on paper. Selective rack can serve direct-access exceptions beside a drive-in reserve block. If grocery rotation requires first-in, first-out movement with separate loading and picking, compare pallet flow instead. The choice follows the stock rule, not just a cold-storage label or a desired position count. ## Truck entry must suit the loaded pallet Provide the truck model, attachment, loaded reach and largest pallet envelope. The forklift needs a workable path into and out of the lane under the intended load. Pallet supports and the structural capacity schedule must match the load dimensions and weights; a wider or overhanging pallet should not be treated as equivalent to a smaller approved load. Newer 32–40 ft clear buildings near GA-155 Exit 216 and GA-20 Exit 218 can create taller reserve opportunities than older roughly 24 ft Westridge space. Check upper placement and loaded-pallet height at each elevation. A high ceiling does not establish that the truck can handle every upper lane position. ## Cold-storage planning includes temperature and staging Henry County’s cold-storage cluster includes automated freezer buildings as well as cooler and freezer warehouses. Confirm the actual operating temperature, pallet construction and installation access before selecting cold-rated components. The dry staging area and cold work zone should have separate coordination inputs rather than a single generic warehouse sequence. Savannah-fed imports move through I-16 and I-75 with mixed pallet sizes and floor-loaded containers. Define where loads are prepared and approved for lane storage. A drive-in block should have an assigned pallet family, with exception loads directed elsewhere. Receiving preparation and lane placement are different working steps and need their own room on the drawing. ## A lane-by-lane handover for installation or a move Agree on material receiving and the lane groups to be released to inventory. Georgia summer heat affects non-air-conditioned work and staging, while seasonal storms influence unloading. Keep rack-material space separate from the forklift-entry route so completed lanes remain usable as stock transfer begins. If the warehouse is relocating, finalize destination lane depth, pallet families and truck access before teardown at the departing building. Identify transferred components and new material separately in the scope. Send the room drawing, temperature requirements, pallet dimensions, loaded weights and stock quantities to begin a consultation and itemized supply and installation quote. ## Warehouse layouts around South Metro Atlanta Compare building-specific pallet rack planning in Ellenwood, GA (https://mcdonoughpalletrack.com/service-area/ellenwood), College Park, GA (https://mcdonoughpalletrack.com/service-area/college-park), Conyers, GA (https://mcdonoughpalletrack.com/service-area/conyers), Macon, GA (https://mcdonoughpalletrack.com/service-area/macon).
