We lay out two configurations side by side so you see the tradeoff.

Carton flow rack is one of the more direct ways for a Shelbyville building to add capacity without touching the envelope. Given the value of lane widths set from your case list, not a standard bay, we model this against a second configuration on the same Shelbyville floor plan so density and access are numbers you can compare. Free to see, no obligation to order, and the carton flow rack numbers are yours either way. Call (502) 521-1485 about your Shelbyville Business Park building. (502) 521-1485 ## Why Shelbyville Warehouses Work With Us No two buildings near Shelbyville Business Park carry the same combination of clear height, aisle width, and floor loading, which is why we draw every Shelbyville layout to the site instead of pulling one off a shelf. We have been laying out carton flow rack for manufacturing and equine and agricultural supply operations in the Shelbyville market as part of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co. since 1997, and fastest-moving SKUs placed at the golden pick zone is the carton flow rack fit question we work through with your Shelbyville team before quoting. Service does not stop at handoff on a Shelbyville job either. If a carton flow rack level needs to move in your Midland Trail corridor building or you need another bay, the same team that designed the system answers the phone.

Manufacturing Equine and agricultural supply Beverage and spirits Regional 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 We start by understanding the manufacturing side of your operation — pallet profile, equipment, clear height, SKU count, throughput — because those inputs decide carton flow rack capacity in a Shelbyville Business Park building long before steel is quoted. You then get a carton flow rack position count for the Shelbyville 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 fastest-moving SKUs placed at the golden pick zone. Carton Flow Rack delivery into Shelbyville 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.
