We lay out two configurations side by side so you see the tradeoff. Call (502) 521-1485." lang: en --- Image: Carton Flow Rack system inside a Kentucky warehouse (https://louisvillepalletracks.com/assets/carton-flow-hero-y0vnsglk.jpg) Louisville, Kentucky # Carton Flow Rack in Louisville, KY Warehouses near Riverport keep hitting the same wall: pickers walking more than they pick because the face is never stocked. Carton flow shelving is one of the more direct ways for a Louisville building to add capacity without touching the envelope. Because this system is about fastest-moving SKUs placed at the golden pick zone, we start with the storage math for your Louisville footprint — how many positions it can carry and what that does to travel time — then send a CAD layout and an itemized quote before anything is ordered. Call (502) 521-1485 and tell us what you are storing in Louisville. (502) 521-1485 ## Why Louisville Warehouses Work With Us What limits storage in a Outer Loop facility is usually the layout — a column line in the wrong place, a beam pocket, a restricted equipment route. We work those Louisville constraints out on paper before quoting steel. We have been laying out carton flow rack for third-party logistics and e-commerce fulfillment operations in the Louisville market as part of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co. since 1997, and gravity wheel beds feeding cases to a fixed pick face is the carton flow rack fit question we work through with your Louisville team before quoting. And you deal with one team throughout — carton flow rack layout, pricing, delivery windows into Riverport, installation scheduling, and parts after the fact. Nothing about the Louisville job gets handed to a call center.

Third-party logistics E-commerce fulfillment Bourbon and beverage Manufacturing Auto parts distribution ## 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 never blocks or slows 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 A Louisville carton flow rack project starts with a phone call. We go through pallet footprint and weight, forklift type and lift height, clear height in your Riverport building, column spacing, and how fast product turns. You then get a carton flow rack position count for the Louisville footprint, load ratings for every beam level, and pricing broken out by component, so cost per pallet position is visible rather than buried in a lump sum. Where it makes sense we run the same plan a second way, with gravity wheel beds feeding cases to a fixed pick face. Carton Flow Rack delivery into Louisville is coordinated around your schedule. Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage build to the approved drawing, with the system anchored to the floor and capacity-tagged. Teardown, reconfiguration and later additions go through the same contact. 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 Call (502) 521-1485: (502) 521-1485 ## Recent Installations Racking projects completed for warehouses across Greater Louisville and Southern Indiana.
