Pallet Flow Rack in Linthicum, Maryland

Pharmaceutical inventory moves by lot. Pallet flow racking stores one lot per lane or loads lots strictly in sequence, so the earliest is always picked first.

The rack enforces order physically. Loading discipline at the back keeps it intact.

Pharmaceutical buildings also tend to be audited, so a clear, labeled block makes those visits easier. Inspectors can see at a glance that lots are separated and that the oldest stock sits in front.

We also plan which aisle visitors use, keeping them clear of active loading so audits never interrupt receiving.

Short visits stay short that way.

With a loading aisle on one side and a pick aisle on the other, receiving staff and pickers never share space. In controlled buildings, that separation also simplifies who has access to which aisle.

Much of Linthicum near Camp Meade Road and Andover is older flex space with moderate clear heights. A gravity flow rack there typically runs two to four levels.

Overhead lights and ducts can sit low; we measure to the lowest obstruction at the load end.

Pharmaceutical pallets are often light. Lanes need enough slope to move them, with speed controllers sized for the range. Exit separators protect the front pallet when it is lifted.

Use one pallet type for flow lanes, ideally plastic or a consistent wood pallet with sound bottom boards. A stalled pallet mid-lane in a controlled area is a problem nobody wants.

Operations near I-195 and I-695 that handle air-freight support goods move product quickly. Short lanes with many faces suit that tempo better than very deep lanes.

Undated hardware or packaging reserve fits pushback rack in Linthicum, served from one aisle. Small boxes picked by the each fit carton flow rack in Linthicum.

Controlled inventory areas cannot afford a stuck pallet that requires someone to climb into a lane. Weekly checks of rollers, brakes and the exit separator keep each pallet flow rack lane moving.

Keep debris out of lanes: broken wrap, labels and pallet chips. A gravity flow rack that is clean and checked rarely surprises anyone.

Document each check if your compliance program requires it; a simple log at the end of the aisle is enough.

Near the BWI cargo district, many buildings run around the clock, so schedule checks during the quietest shift.

Spare rollers and a separator kept on site let a damaged lane return to service quickly.

Lot sizes change as products and suppliers change. Moderate lane depths adapt better than very deep lanes when volume shifts.

Keep spare floor beside the block so lanes can be added when needed. The same frame depth keeps new lanes matched to the old ones.

Andover-area tenants with short leases can also relocate the block to a new building with a revised drawing.

We work as a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., a rack supplier and installer since 1997.
