Cases sit on inclined wheel beds, so every time a picker takes one, the next slides forward to the exact same spot - no reaching, no re-facing product, no walking to find the case that should be there. Restocking happens from a separate back aisle, so picking and replenishment can use separate faces. It's the right system when picking is by the case or the each, not the pallet, and when enough SKUs need a dedicated face that static shelving turns into a maintenance problem. Most warehouses run it in the lower levels of a bay with reserve pallets stacked above, so one footprint handles both active picking and overflow storage. We size wheel beds and lane widths to your case dimensions, pick rate, and SKU count, and show where the fastest movers should sit in the bay. (918) 296-8162 ## How Carton Flow Rack Works 1 ### 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. 2 ### 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. 3 ### Restock from behind Replenishment loads the high end of the lane from a separate aisle, so picking and replenishment can use separate aisles, and rotation stays first in, first out automatically. 4 ### 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.

A rack choice needs to reflect that mix, not just the available floor area. Along I-44 and US-169, the useful question is how receiving, reserve storage, and picking will share the building. We compare carton flow rack with the alternatives using your actual storage requirements and a layout you can review before making a purchase. Through Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., you have one point of contact for design, quotation, and installation coordination. The recommendation explains where this system fits, where it introduces an access or rotation tradeoff, and which components belong in the proposed configuration. We put position counts, load considerations, and project inclusions in writing. For businesses near the Port of Catoosa or across the Tulsa metro, that makes it easier to compare options without mistaking a dense drawing for a workable storage plan. ## Where It Fits Best Case and each picking operations Order fulfillment lines carrying many active SKUs Grocery, beverage, and consumer goods distribution Kitting and light assembly feed lines Bays that need reserve pallets stacked above the pick face ## What We Need to Design It - What are your case dimensions and weights? - How many SKUs need a dedicated pick face? - How many picks per SKU on a busy day? - Is there a separate aisle available for restocking? - Are reserve pallets going above the pick levels? ## What a 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 the order is finalized, review the layout against the quoted components and confirm which storage requirements each section is intended to meet. Any change in pallet weight, product dimensions, lane use, or proposed beam elevations should be checked against the rated configuration rather than handled as an informal adjustment. The project documents provide a reference for future additions as inventory changes. 1 Phone consultation 2 CAD layout 3 Itemized quote 4 Delivery & installation ## Recent Installations A sample of racking projects completed across the region.
