Cases ride inclined roller lanes to a fixed pick face, and the next case slides forward the moment one is pulled. Pickers stop wandering through reserve aisles. Restocking happens from behind, out of their way. (410) 305-9766 ## Why Carton Flow Racking Suits City Distribution Food and beverage distributors around Curtis Bay and Fairfield often run short, dense pick lines inside older single-story or multi-story shells. Floor is scarce, and walking distance is where the labor goes. A wall of carton flow racking compresses dozens of SKUs into a few bays. The picker stands in one aisle; replenishment works a separate aisle behind. Older column grids are not a problem. We lay bays between the columns you have and keep the pick aisle clear of them.

The oldest carton is always the next one picked. For port-area food distribution that matters. Dated cases stay in sequence without anyone re-facing shelves. ## Sizing Carton Flow Rack Lanes, Wheels and Dividers Start with your case list: length, width, height, weight and what the bottom looks like. Corrugated with a flat bottom tracks well on wheel rails; soft or uneven bottoms need full-width roller beds. Lane width follows the widest case in that lane plus a little clearance. Dividers keep narrow boxes from drifting sideways into the next SKU. Pitch is set to the lightest case so it still moves, with speed control for the heaviest. ## Adding Case Flow Rack to Existing Pallet Rack Bays Many Locust Point and Highlandtown buildings already have selective uprights. Carton flow shelves can usually drop into those bays at the lower levels, with full pallets stored above as reserve. Send a photo of the upright face and beam so we can match the shelf to your frame. Full pallets that need rotation can move to a Baltimore pallet flow system (https://baltimorepalletracks.com/service-area/baltimore/pallet-flow-rack), and deep reserve of a few SKUs suits pushback rack in Baltimore (https://baltimorepalletracks.com/service-area/baltimore/pushback-rack). ## Assigning Fast Movers to the Best Carton Flow Racking Levels Waist-to-shoulder height is prime real estate. The busiest items go there, often with two lanes each. Slow items move to the lowest or highest shelf, or back to static shelving. Busy-day pick counts, not averages, decide lane assignments. A layout built on averages runs dry by mid-morning on the heaviest day. ## Restocking Routes Behind the Carton Flow Rack The back aisle deserves as much attention as the pick face. Restockers bring broken pallets or cases on carts, so that aisle needs room to turn and a short trip to reserve storage. In tight city buildings I often run the carton flow rack along an outside wall, with the restock aisle shared with pallet reserve. That keeps forklifts and pickers apart. Count how many restock trips a busy day needs. If the number is high, a deeper lane holds more cases per SKU and cuts those trips. A case flow rack lane eight or ten feet deep is common for busy grocery items. Heat matters too. Many older Baltimore buildings are not air-conditioned, so summer installs are planned early in the day, and corrugated that softens in humidity is a reason to favor roller beds over wheels for some items in the carton flow racking. ## Planning a Baltimore Pick Module We are a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., supplying and installing storage across the region since 1997.
