What is carton flow rack actually used for?

Case and piece picking. Cartons ride gravity wheel beds so the next unit advances to the pick face automatically, cutting walking time and keeping the line organized as SKU counts climb.

How is it different from static shelving?

On static shelving, a picker reaches into the bay and someone has to physically face the product afterward. Carton flow feeds from behind and presents at the front, so rotation is automatic and the pick position never moves.

Do soft or lightweight cartons flow reliably?

Full-width wheel beds handle mixed and flimsy cartons far better than spaced roller tracks. If your cases vary in stiffness, that's the specification we'll recommend, and we test travel with your actual cartons at installation.

Can carton flow drop into racking we already own?

Frequently. Wheel beds and track can go into existing bays when frame depth and beam spacing allow it. We verify your current profile first and convert only the bays that fit.

Can we add more lanes or positions later without redoing the whole system?

That is the point of designing it as a layout rather than a one-off order. We keep the drawing on file, so adding a bay, a lane, or a run next year starts from where the system already is instead of from scratch.

What does a carton flow rack project in Lebanon typically cost per pallet position?

It depends on beam capacity, height, and how deep you store, which is why the quote is itemized and the layout shows a position count. Comparing cost per position across two configurations on your own floor plan is the only honest way to answer it.

If your Lebanon operation is dealing with order accuracy dropping because the pick face keeps shifting, that is a storage design problem, not a leasing problem. Carton Flow Rack is built for exactly that situation — it turns the unused clear height in a Columbia Road industrial area building into working pick faces instead of aisle.

We measure the building first — pallet profile, forklift, ceiling height under the sprinklers — and because this system depends on gravity wheel beds feeding cases to a fixed pick face, then hand your Lebanon team a layout with a position count and an itemized quote. Call (513) 957-3017 with the pallet weights and we will size the carton flow rack for Lebanon.

Why Lebanon Warehouses Work With Us

Buildings around the Columbia Road industrial area and State Route 63 corridor are rarely uniform. Column spacing, dock aprons, and usable height differ enough from one Lebanon site to the next that a layout copied from another building wastes positions.

As part of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., we have designed storage for agricultural products and light manufacturing operators around State Route 63 corridor since 1997 — enough history that restocking from the back aisle so the pick line keeps moving rarely surprises us mid-project.

You also get one point of contact for the whole Lebanon carton flow rack project. The same person who draws the layout quotes the steel, schedules delivery around your Columbia Road industrial area dock, and handles replacement parts two years from now.

How Carton Flow Rack Works

Cases advance to the picker instead of the picker hunting for cases.

Inclined wheel beds

A full-width wheel bed or roller track sits on a slight incline inside a standard bay, so cases move forward under their own weight without power.

Pick from a fixed position

The picker always reaches for the same forward spot in the lane. Travel time drops, and so does the time spent searching for the next case.

Restock from behind

Replenishment loads the high end of the lane from a separate aisle, so restocking never blocks or slows the pick line, and rotation stays first in, first out automatically.

One lane per SKU

Lane dividers set the width for each case size, giving every SKU its own face - a width that can be resized as your product mix shifts.

What a Carton Flow Rack Project Includes

The first step is a working list of what has to fit in your Lebanon space: pallet sizes, heaviest load, forklift reach, and how many SKUs need direct access versus carton flow rack depth.

From there our design team produces a CAD carton flow rack layout showing positions, elevations, and aisle widths for your Lebanon floor plan, plus an itemized quote so you see cost per pallet position. Where it helps, we price a second configuration on the same plan, with restocking from the back aisle so the pick line keeps moving, so the tradeoff between density and access is a number instead of an opinion. Load ratings for each carton flow rack level are documented in the Lebanon drawing, not guessed in the field.

Common carton flow rack items ship from stock, and we stage deliveries to match your Columbia Road industrial area dock. Installation partners set and anchor the system to the Lebanon drawing, verify it loaded, and tag capacities. Work is sequenced zone by zone so Lebanon receiving and shipping never stop, and we stay reachable for carton flow rack parts, added lanes, and repairs.
