Call (520) 335-3953." lang: en --- Image: Cold-storage pallet racking for produce in a Nogales warehouse (https://tucsonpalletrack.com/assets/hero-location-DSM_BmzI.jpg) Nogales, AZ ยท about 65 mi from Tucson # Drive In Rack and Cold-Storage Racking in Nogales, AZ Drive in rack in Nogales, AZ goes into coolers and freezers that handle fresh produce from the Mariposa crossing. In those rooms, every foot of aisle is chilled air you pay for, so drive in warehouse racking, pushback and pallet flow do most of the work. Selective pallet racks still cover packaging, FTZ inventory and maquiladora parts. We lay out both from one floor plan. Call (520) 335-3953: 5203353953 ## Produce Cold Storage and Drive In Pallet Rack Nogales is the leading U.S. port by tonnage for fresh Mexican produce, about 120,000 trucks a year of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, squash, melons, grapes and mangoes. Many of those loads are cooled, held and re-shipped within days. For a short list of SKUs moving in volume, drive in pallet rack (https://tucsonpalletrack.com/products/drive-in-rack) packs the cooler deepest. Trucks enter the bay on rails, so pallet condition and truck width set the lane opening. For more SKUs, or when lanes must be picked one at a time, pushback rack (https://tucsonpalletrack.com/products/pushback-rack) keeps each lane to one item. All cold rooms get cold-rated components.

A pallet flow rack (https://tucsonpalletrack.com/products/pallet-flow-rack) loads from the receiving side and picks from the shipping side, so the oldest pallet leaves first without anyone tracking it. Inspection rooms at the Mariposa Land Port of Entry added cold storage in 2023. On the private side, cross-dock buildings put flow lanes between receiving doors and outbound doors. ## FTZ, 3PL and Maquiladora Warehouse Racking Foreign Trade Zone No. 60 covers all of Santa Cruz County, so bonded and cross-border 3PL storage can be set up anywhere in the area. Bonded stock usually needs clear separation, which a selective layout with labeled bays handles well. Since the port was reconfigured in 2009, close to 1 million SF of warehousing has gone up for produce and maquiladora supply chains. Parts for those plants go on selective pallet racks (https://tucsonpalletrack.com/products/pallet-rack) with wire decking. ## Mariposa Industrial Park, N Industrial Park Dr and La Loma Grande Most jobs land in the Mariposa Industrial Park, along N Industrial Park Dr near the port, or in La Loma Grande, a 43-acre park about a mile from the crossing. Install crews are experienced crews we schedule and manage, and cooler work is sequenced so rooms come down to temperature on your schedule. For racking just up I-19, see Rio Rico (https://tucsonpalletrack.com/service-area/rio-rico). Relocating a cold room? Our warehouse relocation (https://tucsonpalletrack.com/warehouse-relocation) team plans it. ## Building a Cold-Room Layout in Nogales Warehouses Give us the room dimensions, door locations, evaporator positions and pallet weights. Evaporators and their airflow decide where the rack cannot go, so we draw around them first. Then we compare positions for drive-in, pushback and pallet flow in the same room. A grower holding six SKUs in volume and a distributor holding forty mixed items will land on different answers. The quote itemizes cold-rated frames, rails or lanes, guarding, freight and installation, with lead time confirmed for each high-density component.
