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. (918) 296-8162 ## 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.

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 pallet 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 Date-coded food, beverage, and pharmaceutical inventory High-volume SKUs with steady, predictable turns Cold storage where every cubic foot carries a cost Staging finished goods coming off a production line Operations that need FIFO documented, not just assumed ## What We Need to Design It - Do you need strict pallet-level FIFO, or is lane-level rotation enough? - How many pallets per SKU move through in a typical week? - What's the pallet weight range, and what condition are pallets usually in? - How deep can lanes run in your footprint? - Is the storage area ambient, cooler, or freezer? ## What a Project Includes Flow racking is specified per lane, not pulled off a shelf. 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 noticed 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 point of contact to check brake roller and wheel availability as the system racks up cycles. 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.
