Inclined roller lanes advance compatible cases or totes as operators remove the leading container. Instead of reaching into deep shelves, pickers work from a consistent presentation point while replenishment takes place behind the pick face. For industrial supply operations, the starting point is the package rather than a standard shelf dimension. Carton length, base condition, loaded weight and daily withdrawals determine lane depth and roller support. A division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., we have supplied and installed warehouse storage systems since 1997. (415) 430-9104 ## How carton flow rack supports the pick cycle Develop the arrangement from measured containers and order history, then confirm the proposed movement with representative loads. 1 ### Profile the moving package Record minimum and maximum weights, underside seams and carton dimensions. Include partially depleted cases when operators pick individual pieces from an open box. 2 ### Set the travel geometry Select roller spacing, lane width and incline together. Test light cartons for hesitation and heavier loads for arrival behavior before fixing the final configuration. 3 ### Replenish behind the pick face Load incoming cases at the rear and remove stock from the front. FIFO depends on maintaining the intended sequence within each dedicated item lane. 4 ### Connect picks to dispatch Position order carts or a takeaway surface where operators can transfer selections without blocking neighboring lanes. Keep refill access separate from completed-order accumulation. ## Carton flow rack layout and installation scope Pallet-bay retrofit compatibility requires a review of beam spacing, frame dimensions, connection details and supported loads. An existing bay is not automatically suitable merely because a flow bed fits between its uprights. For pick modules, coordinate flow-bed depth with operator reach, rear access and the destination of picked goods. Shelves above or beside the lanes should not obscure labels or constrain the intended picking motion. Installation planning should establish component placement, lane identification and a practical loading sequence. Before routine operation, run representative packages through each distinct lane arrangement and document the accepted container range. Boxed trade fittings with recurring withdrawals and enough repeat inventory to maintain dedicated lanes. Industrial consumables picked into route orders while reserve cartons remain behind the active face. Manufacturing supply totes that retain a consistent base shape throughout repeated handling cycles.

Adjustable dividers keep neighboring items separated, while sufficient side clearance lets containers travel without rubbing. Broad boxes, narrow accessory packs and containers with recessed bases may require different track arrangements within the same picking area. A case flow rack should allocate frontage according to demand, not simply divide every level equally. Frequently picked fittings may need adjacent lanes, while slower accessories need fewer positions. This balance keeps active products visible without assigning excessive depth to inventory that rarely moves. Evaluate the complete picking motion: label reading, opening a case, withdrawing units and placing them into an order container. Pick-face height and presentation angle should support those actions. Reserve space for empty packaging so discarded cartons do not interrupt access to the next available unit.

Where boxed fittings share a building with long materials, separate the case replenishment approach from lengthy-load movements. Plan receiving buffers and route-order assembly independently rather than allowing either activity to occupy the rear loading aisle. industrial supply trade distribution and Peninsula manufacturing ## Recent Installations Pallet rack installations from our existing project gallery.
