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. (216) 434-6607 ## Why Cleveland Warehouses Work With Us Older industrial floors need storage plans that account for columns, changing ceiling heights and receiving space. For a Cleveland project near Collinwood and the Cuyahoga Valley, that means checking the actual floor plan before treating an open rectangle as available storage. We review pallet condition, bottom-board orientation, weight range, rotation rules and throughput, along with columns, dock approaches and the space production needs to keep working. The industrial activity around Port of Cleveland and I-90/I-77 gives your project a practical setting, not a reason to assume every building behaves alike. Where dated food receipts hidden behind newer loads, we compare pallet flow rack against another suitable arrangement. The drawing should show the operational tradeoff as well as the additional storage, so the decision reflects your Cleveland inventory rather than a catalog claim. As a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., we connect your storage requirements with design, quoting and installation planning. You receive an itemized scope, a drawing to review and a contact for revisions. Delivery access, work zones and approval responsibilities are discussed before the schedule is agreed. ## 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.

We collect pallet condition, bottom-board orientation, weight range, rotation rules and throughput. We also review usable clear height, columns and receiving access near Port of Cleveland and I-90/I-77. Those inputs determine which configuration can be supported and operated safely; a nominal position count alone is not enough to order the system. Our design team prepares a CAD layout showing row or lane locations, usable storage, handling aisles and the required elevations. The quote identifies roller lanes, brakes, separators, entry guides, frames and protective accessories. When another rack type is a sensible alternative, we compare it on the same floor plan so you can weigh access, rotation and storage capacity against the actual cost. Accessories and installation responsibilities are stated rather than left to be decided after delivery. Before the order is released, we confirm the drawing, load information, manufacturer requirements and the agreed installation scope. The delivery and installation plan reserves receiving space and isolated work areas. A phased schedule can be considered, but available inventory space and safe separation determine whether it is practical for your operation. The installation review covers loaded travel, braking, separation and pick-face presentation using actual pallets. Your team receives capacity information for the finished configuration and a drawing to use when discussing future changes. If dated food receipts hidden behind newer loads changes as inventory grows, we can revisit the layout rather than assuming the original arrangement remains appropriate. 1 Phone consultation 2 CAD layout 3 Itemized quote 4 Delivery & installation ## Recent Installations A sample of racking projects completed across the region.
