How deep should a pallet flow lane be?

Five to twenty pallets is typical. Depth should match how much of one SKU moves through in a cycle - a lane that never fills is wasting a pick face. We size depth from your actual movement data, not a rule of thumb.

What keeps pallets from moving too fast down the lane?

Lane pitch is calculated for the load, and brake rollers or separators control travel from there. Pallets index forward at a walking pace, protecting both product and frames.

Does pallet condition matter?

A great deal. Broken bottom boards and heavy overhang cause most hang-ups in flow lanes. If your pallet pool is rough, full-width rollers are the safer specification, and we'll tell you that up front rather than after installation.

Can flow racking work in a freezer?

Yes - cold storage is one of the strongest arguments for it, since density directly reduces refrigerated cubic feet you're paying to cool. Components get specified for the temperature range so bearings and brakes behave in the cold.

How quickly can you get pallet flow rack into a Erlanger warehouse?

Standard components generally ship within a few days of an approved order, and complete projects — layout, steel, and installation — typically run one to four weeks depending on size. If you have a hard date, say so early and we will build the schedule backward from it.

Our dock is tight and we cannot receive a full truckload at once. Does that change anything?

It changes the delivery plan, not the design. We stage material in smaller drops timed to your receiving hours, and sequence installation zone by zone so a tight dock does not hold up the schedule.

Date-sensitive inventory getting buried behind newer receipts shows up constantly in the airport freight corridor facilities. Adding flow racking systems is how a Erlanger operation gets capacity back without paying for square footage it already has.

Given the value of FIFO rotation your team can document, not just intend, we model this against a second configuration on the same Erlanger floor plan so density and access are numbers you can compare. Free to see, no obligation to order, and the pallet flow rack numbers are yours either way. Call (513) 957-3017 about your Dolwick Drive industrial area building.

Why Erlanger Warehouses Work With Us

What limits storage in a airport freight corridor facility is usually structural — a column line in the wrong place, a beam pocket, an older slab. We work those Erlanger constraints out on paper before quoting steel.

We have been laying out pallet flow rack for freight forwarding and air cargo support operations in the Erlanger market as part of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co. since 1997, and five to twenty pallets deep behind a single pick face is the pallet flow rack fit question we work through with your Erlanger team before quoting.

And you deal with one team throughout — pallet flow rack layout, pricing, delivery windows into the Dolwick Drive industrial area, installation scheduling, and parts after the fact. Nothing about the Erlanger job gets handed to a call center.

How Pallet Flow Rack Works

Load one side, pick the other, and let gravity enforce first in, first out.

Load end

Pallets enter at the high end of the lane. Each new pallet stages behind the one before it, so put-away is a single move made from the load-side aisle.

Gravity conveyor

Full-width rollers or skate-wheel tracks, set on a pitch calculated for the pallet weight, carry loads forward under control rather than free rolling.

Braking and separation

Brake rollers and pallet separators regulate travel and stop pallets from bunching, protecting both the product and the structure underneath it.

Pick end

Pickers work a face of first-in pallets. Pull one and the next indexes forward automatically, so the pick aisle stays organized without anyone re-facing stock.

What a Pallet Flow Rack Project Includes

A Erlanger pallet flow rack project starts with a phone call. We go through pallet footprint and weight, forklift type and lift height, clear height under the sprinklers in your Dolwick Drive industrial area building, column spacing, and how fast product turns.

You then get a pallet flow rack position count for the Erlanger footprint, load ratings for every beam level, and pricing broken out by component, so cost per pallet position is visible rather than buried in a lump sum. Where it makes sense we run the same plan a second way, with five to twenty pallets deep behind a single pick face.

Pallet Flow Rack delivery into Erlanger is coordinated around your schedule, and installation partners build to the approved drawing, anchor every frame, and confirm the system performs loaded before turning it over. The job is phased so your Erlanger operation keeps running, and teardown, reconfiguration, or adding a lane later is handled by the same team.
