Do you install pallet rack?

Yes. We provide design, supply and installation by experienced installation crews we schedule and manage. The agreed layout sets out row positions, beam elevations and access aisles before material arrives. Installation includes rack anchored to the floor and capacity labeling for the specified configuration. We coordinate work zones with your operations team and review the completed arrangement before your team starts loading the new positions.

How much weight can pallet rack hold?

There is no single capacity for all pallet rack. Beam capacity is rated per pair per level, while frame capacity depends on frame height and vertical beam spacing. We size the configuration from your heaviest pallet and put the agreed capacities on load plaques. Share actual load weights, pallet dimensions and planned beam elevations rather than relying on the appearance of the steel.

What size pallet rack do I need?

For standard 48-inch-deep pallets, 42-inch-deep uprights are a common starting point; common beam lengths are 96, 108 and 144 inches. Rack height depends on clear height and forklift lift height. Measure your actual pallets, including load overhang and loaded height, before selecting components. We use those dimensions alongside load weights and access needs to specify the bay rather than assuming every pallet matches a nominal size.

How many pallet positions fit in my warehouse?

The count depends on clear height, aisle width and your forklift. A free CAD layout gives the exact count for the agreed rack configuration. Send building dimensions, column locations, dock positions and loaded pallet sizes so the drawing accounts for working space as well as storage. We compare usable positions rather than filling every available foot with rack that your team cannot access.

How long does it take to get and install pallet rack?

Standard teardrop sizes often quick-ship; high-density systems and non-standard sizes take longer. Lead time is confirmed on the quote, and installation time depends on bay count and site readiness. We review building access, unloading space and the work sequence before scheduling crews. Keep receiving requirements and any phased handovers in the written scope so everyone understands what must be ready before installation begins.

Carton Flow Rack in Cudahy, WI

Name: Milwaukee Pallet Rack
Address: 7311 W Greenfield Ave., Milwaukee, WI, 53214, US

In Cudahy, Packard Avenue operations can face maintenance cartons mixing with pallet reserve. If that is the problem on your floor today, carton flow shelving should be compared against your actual inventory and building constraints before more space is leased.

Cases advance on inclined wheel beds to a fixed pick face, with replenishment from the rear. That makes sense for active carton or each picking, not as a substitute for whole-pallet reserve storage. Lane widths, case-bottom stiffness and pick frequency need to be checked together. We plan the fastest moving items where they can be reached comfortably and allow room for replenishment without blocking the order-picking route.

Why Cudahy Warehouses Work With Us

Cudahy has a working industrial identity around Packard Avenue, including forging and food-processing activity. A plant can be managing heavy inbound material and small maintenance orders in the same shift. Layton Avenue and the airport area support local connections, but storage still has to match how each load is lifted, held and released. We keep food, production and maintenance requirements distinct rather than treating every pallet position as interchangeable.

For the case-pick area, we discuss the SKU list and peak picks per shift rather than counting shelf levels alone. Carton flow rack can share a bay with pallet reserve above when the frame, loads and clearances allow it. We test actual cartons, set dividers and stops, and identify replenishment access in the drawing. Slow items need not consume the same frontage as the lines your team picks throughout the day.

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 project starts with the case list: dimensions, weight, whether the carton bottom is stiff or soft, and picks per SKU per day. Those numbers decide wheel bed style, lane width, and how much face each SKU is worth giving up.

From there we lay out the bay - how many flow levels, at what incline, and what sits above them. In most designs, the fastest movers get the golden zone at waist height, slower SKUs move to the upper or lower levels, and reserve pallets stack overhead in the same footprint.

The quote itemizes frames, beams, wheel bed or track, lane dividers, front stops, and shelf-level accessories, with the layout showing lane assignments by SKU. Installation sets the incline, tests case travel with your actual cartons, and adjusts before the line goes live.

The payoff is a pick line where cases present themselves, restocking stays out of the way, and lane widths can be reset whenever SKUs come and go.

Before scheduling the carton flow rack project in Cudahy, WI, we confirm the building access arrangements, unloading space and any review required for the proposed installation. The agreed scope distinguishes materials, installation and supporting services so you can compare proposals on the same basis. Send your drawings and current inventory profile to start that conversation.
