Carton Flow Rack in Greensburg, PA

Why carton flow rack suits production picking

Operations We Rack Around Here

Keep production withdrawals visible while replenishment moves behind the bank, away from the operator’s normal walking route.

Retrofitting requires more than checking the distance between uprights. Confirm frame condition, beam connections, available depth, and the combined load from inserts and any reserve inventory above. Existing capacity information must support the proposed arrangement. Keep front stops clear of hand access and labels visible from the normal standing position.

Lane widths and dividers should guide the narrowest approved container without squeezing a wider one. Corrugated cases with bowed bottoms behave differently from rigid totes. Test representative loads at the intended pitch, including partly emptied cartons if operators pick individual pieces. Excessive slope can make a heavy case strike the stop too hard.

Record the active range

Collect outside dimensions, loaded weights, bottom photographs, and daily withdrawals for each container family. Identify fragile contents and packaging that changes between suppliers before selecting tracks.

Establish the working envelope

Measure aisle clearance, columns, reach heights, and the space behind each bay. Show where replenishment carts wait so their handles and loads do not obstruct a crossing.

Prove lane behavior

Run light and heavy samples through the proposed depth. Adjust pitch and guides to achieve steady advancement, then verify that operators can remove the first case without disturbing its neighbor.

Coordinate assembly and handover

Use experienced installation crews we schedule and manage for the agreed work zones. Freestanding supports are anchored to the floor as specified, and lane assignments are reviewed before operators begin replenishing.
