Rear replenishment separates loading from selection and supports FIFO within an individually assigned lane. The arrangement works best when package dimensions and withdrawal frequency guide the allocation. Auto parts distribution and light manufacturing can involve dense cartons, small boxed components and supplies heading directly to production. Those packages should not automatically share one track arrangement. Review bottom stiffness, weight distribution and handling needs before deciding which items belong in flow lanes and which require another type of location. (415) 430-9104 ## Hayward case flow rack specification priorities For an existing rack retrofit, verify beam arrangements, attachment compatibility, supporting capacity and the condition of the structure before specifying inserts. Track dimensions must suit the verified bay configuration, not merely the visible opening. Pick modules can place small parts above larger cartons when reach and handling checks support that arrangement. Leave room to grasp each case, read its identifier and move it to the order cart without contacting adjacent lanes. Keep bulky, irregular or infrequently requested parts outside unsuitable flow positions. A mixed storage plan can preserve direct access for exceptions while dedicating roller lanes to cartons that advance consistently and justify repeated front picking. Auto parts cartons with repeat demand and stable package dimensions. Production supplies replenished separately from finished goods order assembly. Distribution lines where fixed pick faces simplify repeated case selection.

Test the combinations expected during normal purchasing changes rather than treating all boxes bearing one part number as identical. 2 ### Balance lane capacity Calculate how many cases fit at the chosen depth. Compare that quantity with daily demand and available refill opportunities before assigning additional space to a fast mover. 3 ### Separate working faces Provide front access for order picking and rear access for replenishment. Allow carts to stop at either face without occupying the route needed by production material. 4 ### Validate controlled movement Confirm that packages advance after a withdrawal and remain contained at the front. Adjust the proposed roller arrangement and inclination when representative cartons stall or press forward excessively. ## Why carton flow rack suits selected Hayward parts Fast moving part numbers can need more than one lane even when their cartons are small. Compare units withdrawn during a replenishment cycle with lane capacity, then decide whether adjacent lanes or a different refill interval better supports the picking workload. Package variation deserves attention before shelf quantities are established. Narrow boxes can turn between guides, while flexible bottoms may sag between rollers. Lane widths, roller spacing and dividers should reflect representative loaded cartons rather than an empty packaging sample. We belong to Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co. as its division, supplying and installing storage systems since 1997. A useful planning scope connects the proposed equipment with picking methods, existing rack information and the production access that must remain available.

Eden and the Hayward industrial corridor, manufacturing, reserve inventory and outbound staging may occupy the same building. Refill access should not become a shortcut through active work areas. With I-880 and State Route 92 shaping regional access, plan from actual receipt windows and internal movements instead of assuming that every arrival can replenish the pick face immediately. light manufacturing auto parts and distribution ## Recent Installations Pallet rack installations from our existing project gallery.
