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) Essex, Maryland # Carton Flow Rack in Essex, Maryland Carton flow rack in Essex solves a problem I see in almost every aftermarket parts room along Eastern Boulevard: more time spent hunting for a small box than moving it. Each part number gets its own sloped lane. Pickers take from the front, and restocking slides new boxes in from the back. (410) 305-9766 ## Parts Rooms and Carton Flow Racking Auto aftermarket and marine supply distributors carry hundreds of part numbers in small cartons. On static shelves, boxes get pushed to the back, faces go empty, and pickers dig. With carton flow racking, the face never goes empty while stock remains in the lane. The picker reads the label, takes the box and moves on. Light manufacturers in the Rossville area use the same layout to feed components to a production line, with the line on one side and receiving on the other.

A box shorter than the wheel spacing will tip between rails, so small parts often need full-width roller beds or closely spaced wheels. Heavy items like batteries or fluids need pitch and brakes set so they arrive gently. Light filters need enough slope to move at all. We set each shelf for the items assigned to it. Dividers matter even more with small boxes, since a narrow carton drifts sideways easily. ## Low-Clear Essex Buildings and Case Flow Rack Many buildings along Pulaski Highway and Back River Neck are older with lower roofs. That suits case flow rack well, because the work happens between knee and shoulder height anyway. Reserve pallets of the same parts can sit on beams above the flow levels in the same uprights, which keeps restocking short. ## Assigning Part Numbers to Lanes Pull a list of picks per part number for your heaviest weeks. The busiest parts get the waist-height lanes and sometimes two lanes each. Slow parts stay on static shelving or bin rack nearby. Reassign once or twice a year. Aftermarket demand shifts with the season and the vehicle mix in the market. ## Retrofitting Carton Flow Rack Into Existing Rack If you already have teardrop uprights, carton flow rack shelves can usually mount between them. A photo of the frame face and beam connector tells us which shelf style fits. If the room has no rack yet, we can quote a freestanding flow unit sized to the floor you have. ## Pallet Storage Behind the Pick Line Reserve pallets that need first in, first out rotation fit an Essex pallet flow system (https://baltimorepalletracks.com/service-area/essex/pallet-flow-rack). Several matching pallets of one part fit pushback rack in Essex (https://baltimorepalletracks.com/service-area/essex/pushback-rack). Either one can feed the case lanes. ## Restocking From Reserve Above In low-clear buildings, the reserve sits just above the pick levels. A restocker pulls a pallet down, breaks it at the rear of the lane and loads the boxes in. The trip is short because the reserve is right there. We plan beam heights so the lift truck can reach reserve without crowding the flow shelves below. That keeps restocking quick and protects the lanes from forks. ## Planning Your Essex Layout Baltimore Pallet Racks operates as a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., supplying and installing rack in Maryland since 1997.
