Older west-side industrial buildings and newer distribution shells can have very different column grids and usable heights. That makes provide rear replenishment access and keep active case lanes near packing a practical design question for this building, not a reason to order the largest system in a catalog. Carton Flow Rack in Indianapolis, IN starts with understanding that constraint. Carton flow shelving advances cases toward a consistent hand-picking face on inclined wheel beds or roller tracks. Rear replenishment access can keep restocking separate from picking. Carton dimensions, bottom stiffness, pick frequency, and the time between replenishment runs decide lane width and reserve depth.

(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 carton flow rack project, the specific task is to provide rear replenishment access and keep active case lanes near packing. We count active pick faces rather than claiming carton flow creates pallet positions. Full-width wheel beds and separated tracks suit different carton profiles, and travel needs checking with representative cases. A high-volume SKU may deserve several lanes while a slower one needs less face. Reserve pallets above the picking levels are a separate load-capacity consideration. 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.

Distribution Manufacturing 3PL and fulfillment Automotive supply ## How Carton Flow Rack Works Cases advance to the picker instead of the picker hunting for cases. 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 restocking can stay separate from the pick line, 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. ## What a Carton Flow Rack Project Includes The Indianapolis project starts with the operating information you provide: carton sizes, bottom stiffness, case weights, picks per SKU, replenishment intervals, and working reach heights. We also review the floor plan, fixed obstructions, usable height, and the working routes around Park 100 and the I-465 freight network. Your mixed 3PL receipts, manufacturing replenishment, and outbound distribution schedule helps identify which zones need immediate access and which can be set aside for installation. 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. We also compare normal replenishment intervals with peak pick demand so the face is not repeatedly emptied before restocking arrives. Representative cartons are checked for bottom stiffness, travel, and the behavior of the front stop. Where pallet reserve sits above case levels, the combined loading is reviewed as one rack configuration rather than two unrelated shelving projects.
