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. In Indianapolis food and supply distribution, receiving through several doors can complicate receipt-order rotation. A flow layout needs a defined loading side and a discharge face that connects with outbound staging. Around the I-70 corridor, we plan those internal routes from the floor plan you provide, not simply from total building area. 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. (317) 659-6552 ## Why Indianapolis Warehouses Work With Us Indianapolis connects I-65, I-69, I-70, and I-74, but good interstate access does not fix an internal storage bottleneck. Park 100 distribution buildings and older industrial space near Speedway need different row arrangements. We use the floor plan you provide to separate reserve storage from daily working space, rather than treating every building inside the loop as an open shell. The decision is made from load dimensions, receiving patterns, and the equipment actually operating in the building. For this pallet flow rack project, the specific task is to give receiving and shipping separate lane ends without cutting across the busiest forklift routes. Rollers, brakes, separation devices, and lane pitch are selected for the load rather than copied from another installation. We look at both storage depth and the number of active discharge faces. Greater depth is not automatically better when a product line needs more simultaneously accessible lots or a wider range of pallet weights. As a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., we bring storage-layout, quoting, and installation experience dating to 1997. Your consultation uses the measurements and photos you provide. You get the proposed layout and itemized scope before committing, with one contact to coordinate questions about delivery, installation, and later changes. ## 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.

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 learned 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 one contact for future layout and capacity changes. The comparison also considers the lightest and heaviest loaded pallets, not just an average load. Representative pallet bottoms and load profiles help establish whether travel remains controlled across that range. Loading and discharge space are shown separately, and your team confirms how lot assignments and replenishment will be managed once the lanes are operating. 1 Phone consultation 2 CAD layout 3 Itemized quote 4 Delivery & installation ## Recent Installations A sample of racking projects completed across the region.
