Can I add carton flow to my existing pallet rack?

Usually, if the bay dimensions and connections suit the new flow beds. Send photos of the upright face, beam connector and label; teardrop connections are not universal across manufacturers.

What rack type should I use for case picking?

Carton flow is for case picking, with replenishment behind the pick face. Selective teardrop rack gives direct access to mixed pallet reserve, while pallet flow moves full pallets first-in, first-out.

What determines the cost of carton flow rack?

Positions, height, beam capacity, decking, freight and installation determine the quote. Send pallet size, heaviest load per level, clear height and building size for a free CAD layout and itemized quote, plus case dimensions for the flow beds.

Carton Flow Rack in Kalamazoo, MI

Carton flow puts tilted wheel beds in the rack. Cases load from the back, roll forward, and stop at the pick face. Pickers walk one aisle and never reach past an empty slot.

E-commerce fulfillment, pharma and medical-device distribution in Kalamazoo and Portage, and assembly-line feed in Holland plants all run on it.

Industrial Shelving Systems for Each-Pick Orders

E-commerce order lines are small and many. Carton flow puts hundreds of SKUs in a short walk, with restocking from a separate back aisle so pickers and restockers do not cross.

In Allegan, where consumer-health logistics runs out of Highland Industrial Park, and in Portage med-device buildings, carton flow keeps a high SKU count organized and easy to count.

Carton Flow Inside Pallet Rack

The most common setup puts carton flow beds on the lower beam levels of selective pallet rack, with full-pallet reserve above. One footprint covers both pick and reserve.

Bed width, wheel spacing and pitch follow your case sizes and weights. We need a list of the cases you pick most to get it right.

Line-Side Feed for Manufacturing

Mid-height plants in Holland use carton flow to feed parts to assembly. Bins load from the aisle side and present to the operator at the line.

Empty-tote return lanes can be built into the same unit.
