Lane depth sized to volume. Free layout: (410) 305-9766." lang: en --- Image: Pallet Flow Rack system inside a Maryland warehouse (https://baltimorepalletracks.com/assets/pallet-flow-hero-DopNMGK8.jpg) Dundalk, Maryland # Pallet Flow Rack in Dundalk, Maryland Pallet flow rack in Dundalk earns its place when import distributors near the Dundalk Marine Terminal must ship containers in the order they arrived, without digging through rows to find the oldest load. Each lane takes pallets in at the uphill end and presents them, oldest first, at the downhill face. (410) 305-9766 ## Container Sequence on Pallet Flow Racking Import contracts sometimes require first-arrived, first-shipped handling, and dated consumer goods need it anyway. Static rack makes that hard once rows fill. Pallet flow racking enforces the sequence. Each new container's pallets load behind the last one, and the picker always takes the oldest.

Rollers need consistent bottom boards to track. Before designing, we ask what pallets your containers actually bring. If they vary widely, re-palletizing at receiving or keeping odd loads in selective rack prevents stoppages. ## Controlling Heavy Import Loads Heavy pallets build speed on a slope. Speed controllers along the lane hold them to a safe pace, and a separator at the exit keeps the line from pressing on the front load. Slope and braking are set using your heaviest and lightest pallets. ## Older Buildings Near North Point Many Dundalk warehouses near North Point and Sollers Point are older and lower to the roof. A gravity flow rack in that space may run only two or three levels. The lane's rise toward the loading end has to fit too, so we check clear height at both ends of the block. ## Matching Gravity Flow Rack Depth to Containers If a container brings twenty pallets of one item, a lane ten deep holds half and the rest go to reserve. If it brings six, a six-deep lane fills exactly. We size from typical container contents, not the maximum, so lanes stay full. ## Pallet Flow Rack or Pushback in Dundalk When rotation does not matter, pushback rack in Dundalk (https://baltimorepalletracks.com/service-area/dundalk/pushback-rack) holds pallets several deep from one aisle and uses less floor. Flow wins when date order is a requirement. If orders leave by the case, carton flow rack in Dundalk (https://baltimorepalletracks.com/service-area/dundalk/carton-flow-rack) at the pick face lets pickers fill orders from broken pallets. ## Staffing Both Pallet Flow Rack Aisles Flow blocks need an aisle at each end. Receiving crews unloading containers work the back; order pickers work the front. In busy port buildings, keeping those crews apart cuts congestion at the docks. ## Weather, Heat and Port-Area Pallet Flow Rack Use Port-area buildings near Sollers Point are often unheated and not air-conditioned. Cold slows grease in roller bearings; heat softens stretch wrap that can catch a roller. We set slope with those swings in mind and recommend wrap that does not hang below the pallet. A pallet flow rack that runs well in July should still run in January, and the design accounts for both. ## Labeling Both Ends of Each Lane Receiving crews and pickers work at opposite ends, so labels belong on both faces. A crew unloading a container near North Point should confirm the SKU at the load end before the first pallet goes in. Clear labels at the pick end let order pickers work fast without checking a screen for every pallet. When a SKU changes lanes, update both labels at once. ## Planning Your Dundalk System We are a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., which has supplied and installed rack since 1997.
