Pallets load at the high end of a lane and travel down gravity rollers or wheel tracks, braked to a controlled pace, so the oldest pallet is always the one presented at the pick face. Choose it when dates, lots, or shelf life aren't negotiable, or when a handful of high-turn SKUs eat a disproportionate share of your building. Lanes commonly run five to twenty pallets deep, so a few pick faces represent a large amount of stored product - which is also why it costs more per position than selective or pushback and needs two aisles instead of one. We lay out flow lanes around your throughput, pallet condition, and ceiling height, then price it position by position against the alternatives. (414) 260-3593 ## How Pallet Flow Rack Works 1 ### 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. 2 ### 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. 3 ### Braking and separation Brake rollers and pallet separators regulate travel and stop pallets from bunching, protecting both the product and the structure underneath it. 4 ### 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.

Pallet weight, deck condition, bottom-board orientation, and desired lane depth all drive the roller or wheel selection and the pitch calculation, so the first step is pinning down exactly what's moving through the lane. From there we set lane count and depth against your throughput. Fewer, deeper lanes maximize storage; more, shallower lanes give the pick face more SKU variety. Both versions get modeled with position counts so the tradeoff is visible before you buy, not found after. The itemized quote covers frames, beams, rail and roller assemblies, brakes, entry and exit guides, and guarding. At installation the crew sets pitch, tests loaded travel in every lane, and tunes brakes before the system goes live. Afterward you have documented capacities, a lane map your team can hand to new hires, and a local contact for brake rollers and wheels as the system racks up cycles. 1 Phone consultation 2 CAD layout 3 Itemized quote 4 Delivery & installation ## Recent Installations A sample of warehouse racking installations.
