What is carton flow rack used for?

Case and piece picking. Cartons ride gravity wheel beds so the next unit advances to the pick face automatically, which cuts walking and keeps the line organized as SKU counts climb.

How is it different from static shelving?

On static shelving a picker reaches back into the bay and someone has to face the product. Carton flow feeds from behind and presents at the front, so rotation is automatic and the pick position never changes.

Do soft or lightweight cartons flow reliably?

Full-width wheel beds handle mixed and flimsy cartons far better than spaced rollers. If your cases vary a lot, that is the specification we recommend, and we test travel with your cartons at installation.

Can carton flow go into racking I already own?

Frequently. Wheel beds and track can drop into existing bays when frame depth and beam spacing allow. We verify your current profile first and convert only the bays that fit.

Do you install, or do we arrange that ourselves?

We handle it. Installation is performed by installation partners we have worked with for years, built to the approved drawing and anchored to specification, with our project manager accountable for the schedule and the result.

Will this system tie into racking we already have?

Usually. We identify the manufacturer, connector style, and frame profile from photos and measurements first, then design the addition so it works with your current aisle pattern instead of creating a second standard in the building.

Adding carton flow systems is the fastest way to raise storage capacity in a Erlanger warehouse. Stacking vertically instead of spreading out recovers staging lanes, shortens travel between picks, and cuts the damage that comes with floor-stacked loads.

The payoff is measurable: more pallet positions per square foot, cleaner put-away, and less double-handling — lane widths set from your case list, not a standard bay. We design the carton flow shelving around your pallets, lift trucks, and clear height, then send a CAD layout with position counts and an itemized quote. Call (513) 957-3017.

Why Erlanger Warehouses Work With Us

Warehouses in and around Commonwealth Avenue tend to be constrained by something specific: a low sprinkler line, tight columns, or a dock that will not take a full truck at once. Those details decide the design.

We have been laying out carton flow rack for freight forwarding and air cargo support operations in this market as part of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co. since 1997, so the constraints are familiar before we ever draw a bay.

And you deal with one team throughout — layout, pricing, delivery windows, installation scheduling, and parts after the fact. Nothing gets handed off to a call center.

How Carton Flow Rack Works

Gravity wheel beds that feed cases to the pick face and restock from behind.

Inclined wheel beds

Full-width wheel bed or roller track sits on a slight incline inside a standard bay, so cases advance under their own weight.

Pick from the front

The picker always reaches the same forward position. Travel drops, and so does the time spent hunting for the next case.

Restock from the back

Replenishment loads the high end from a separate aisle, so restocking never blocks the pick line and rotation stays first in, first out.

Lanes per SKU

Lane dividers set the width for each case size, giving every SKU a face that can be resized as your mix changes.

What a Carton Flow Rack Project Includes

We start by understanding the operation — pallet profile, equipment, clear height, SKU count, and throughput — because those inputs decide capacity long before any steel is quoted.

From there our design team produces a CAD layout showing positions, elevations, and aisle widths, plus an itemized quote so you can see cost per pallet position. Where it helps, we price a second configuration alongside it, with gravity wheel beds feeding cases to a fixed pick face, so the tradeoff between density and access is a number instead of an opinion.

Common items ship from stock, and we stage deliveries to match your dock. Our installation partners set and anchor the system to the drawing, verify it loaded, and tag it with capacities. We sequence the work zone by zone so receiving and shipping never stop, and we stay reachable for parts, expansions, and repairs afterward.
