Free layout: (410) 305-9766." lang: en --- Image: Carton Flow Rack system inside a Maryland warehouse (https://baltimorepalletracks.com/assets/carton-flow-hero-y0vnsglk.jpg) Dundalk, Maryland # Carton Flow Rack in Dundalk, Maryland Carton flow rack in Dundalk fits the step that comes after the container: import pallets get broken down, and individual cases have to be picked into outbound orders. Inclined roller lanes hold those cases in sequence, feeding each one to the picker while restocking stays at the back. (410) 305-9766 ## From Container to Case: Carton Flow Racking at the Port Warehousing near the Dundalk Marine Terminal and Sollers Point receives full containers of mixed product lines. Industrial-supply firms then ship those goods out by the case, not the pallet. Breaking pallets onto static shelves means constant re-facing. Loading them into flow lanes means the shelf faces itself. I also see Dundalk distributors use a carton flow rack as a staging step for outbound trucks. Cases picked for a route wait on a short case flow rack near the doors until the truck is ready, which keeps finished orders off the floor and in sequence for loading. That works especially well when route trucks leave in a set order each morning.

Imported cartons vary: some are stiff, some sag, some carry straps. Firm, flat bottoms run on wheel rails; anything softer goes on full roller beds. Width comes from the widest carton in the lane. Dividers stop narrow imports from drifting into the neighbor SKU, which is a common complaint with mixed product lines. Slope is set for the lightest box, with brakes or speed control for heavy ones. ## Older Dundalk Buildings and Case Flow Rack Many buildings around North Point are older and lower-clear. That favors a flow module at pick height with reserve pallets above in the same uprights. Existing teardrop rack can usually accept flow shelves at its lower levels. Send a photo of the frame face and beam end so we can match parts. ## Lane Counts From Real Pick Data We look at your heaviest shipping day, not an average week. Items picked constantly get two or three lanes; occasional items share static shelving. The aim is a pick face that does not run empty before the next restock round. ## Restock Aisles and Carton Flow Racking Depth Behind every pick face is a restock aisle. In Dundalk import buildings that aisle often doubles as the route for pallet jacks bringing broken freight from reserve. We give it room to turn and keep it separate from the pick aisle. A carton flow rack that forces restockers into the pickers' space loses most of its value. Depth also matters. A lane holding a full layer of a broken pallet means one restock trip per layer instead of several. For heavy import cases, a deeper case flow rack lane with speed control keeps loads arriving gently. Port-area buildings near Sollers Point can be hot in summer, and some imported corrugated softens in humidity. Roller beds tolerate that better than wheel rails in the carton flow racking. That is worth checking during the first week of operation and adjusting if needed. ## Pairing Carton Flow Rack With Pallet Storage Full import pallets that need rotation can go into a Dundalk pallet flow layout (https://baltimorepalletracks.com/service-area/dundalk/pallet-flow-rack). Deep runs of matching pallets fit pushback rack in Dundalk (https://baltimorepalletracks.com/service-area/dundalk/pushback-rack). Cases then flow forward from those reserves.
