What type of pallet rack do I need in Solon?

Selective teardrop rack is the starting point for mixed SKUs; pushback stores two to six pallets deep with LIFO retrieval by SKU, while pallet flow suits FIFO and dated stock. Drive-in suits bulk inventory with few SKUs, cantilever supports long loads, and carton flow serves case picking. We compare the options on your floor plan.

Can I add on to my existing pallet rack?

Usually, if the connection matches and the proposed configuration has the required capacity. "Teardrop" is not universal across manufacturers. Send photos of the upright face, beam connector and any manufacturer label so we can match new components to your existing system.

How much does pallet rack cost?

Price depends on pallet positions, rack height, beam capacity, decking, freight and installation. Send your pallet size, heaviest load per level, clear height and building size for a free CAD layout and itemized quote. We supply new material only.

How long does it take to get and install pallet rack?

Standard teardrop sizes often quick-ship; high-density systems and non-standard sizes take longer, and the lead time is confirmed on your quote. Installation time depends on bay count and site readiness. We agree delivery and work-area access before scheduling the installation.

How much weight can pallet rack hold?

There is no single capacity: beam capacity is per pair, per level, while frame capacity depends on frame height and beam spacing. We size beams and frames from your heaviest pallet and put the capacities for the finished configuration on load plaques.

If food lots requiring a controlled first-in pick sequence is restricting your Solon warehouse, buying more steel without changing the layout may leave the same problem in place. Around US-422 and SR-91, food processing and precision manufacturing operations need storage that works with receiving, production and picking rather than competing with them. Pallet Flow Rack is worth comparing when you need first-in, first-out pallet movement between separate loading and picking aisles.

We begin with your inventory and building constraints, not a preset bay count. Food and precision-manufacturing operations need different rotation and load-support rules even when they share the same industrial district. A free design consultation compares the proposed system with your current arrangement, showing the storage gain and the access you retain. Call (216) 434-6607 to start a Solon layout.

Why Solon Warehouses Work With Us

Food and precision-manufacturing operations need different rotation and load-support rules even when they share the same industrial district. For a Solon project near Solon’s manufacturing corridors, 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 US-422 and SR-91 gives your project a practical setting, not a reason to assume every building behaves alike. Where food lots requiring a controlled first-in pick sequence, 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 Solon 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

Load one side, pick the other, and let gravity enforce first in, first out.

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.

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.

Braking and separation

Brake rollers and pallet separators regulate travel and stop pallets from bunching, protecting both the product and the structure underneath it.

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.

What a Pallet Flow Rack Project Includes

A pallet flow rack project in Solon begins with measurements and inventory information. We collect pallet condition, bottom-board orientation, weight range, rotation rules and throughput. We also review usable clear height, columns and receiving access near US-422 and SR-91. 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 food lots requiring a controlled first-in pick sequence changes as inventory grows, we can revisit the layout rather than assuming the original arrangement remains appropriate.
