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.

When a Florence building feels full, the problem is usually cube, not square footage. Carton Flow Rack converts open air above the floor into working pallet positions, tightens aisles where it is safe to, and gets product off the ground.

We size carton flow systems around how the building actually runs — pallet weight, forklift, ceiling height, turns — with restocking from the back aisle so the pick line keeps moving. Then you see the added positions and the price side by side. Call (513) 957-3017 and tell us what you are storing.

Why Florence Warehouses Work With Us

The industrial stock near the Mall Road industrial area ranges from older infill space to newer tilt-wall, and each one limits a racking plan differently. Height, columns, and floor condition all move the answer.

Since 1997 we have supplied air freight and logistics, e-commerce fulfillment, and 3PL operations across the region through Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., which means fewer surprises between the drawing and the install.

You also get one point of contact. The same person who draws the layout quotes the steel, schedules delivery around your dock, and handles replacement parts two years from now.

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

Every project here begins with the numbers: what you store, how heavy it is, what lifts it, and how tall the usable space is. That conversation happens over the phone and usually takes fifteen minutes.

Our design team turns that into a CAD layout with position counts and an itemized quote. Because lane widths set from your case list, not a standard bay, we usually model an alternative configuration too, so you can weigh positions against picking speed with real numbers.

Standard components ship quickly, and delivery gets scheduled around your receiving hours rather than dumped in one load. Installation partners anchor, plumb, align, and capacity-tag the finished system, and we phase the work by zone so shipping keeps running. Afterward you have documented capacities, a layout your team can work from, and a local source for beams, decking, and guarding when something gets hit.
