Free CAD layout: (410) 305-9766." lang: en --- Image: Carton Flow Rack system inside a Maryland warehouse (https://baltimorepalletracks.com/assets/carton-flow-hero-y0vnsglk.jpg) Middle River, Maryland # Carton Flow Rack in Middle River, Maryland Carton flow rack in Middle River often feeds a production or kitting line rather than a shipping dock. Aerospace supply and light manufacturing near Martin State Airport rely on parts arriving at the bench in the right order. Sloped roller lanes deliver bins and cases to the operator; material handlers refill from the back. (410) 305-9766 ## Line-Side Supply With Carton Flow Racking On a production line, the operator should never leave the station to look for a part. Carton flow racking at the line puts each part in its own lane at arm's reach. Material handlers restock from the aisle behind, so the line keeps moving while bins are refilled. Empty bins can return on an upper lane pitched back toward the handler. Older Eastern Boulevard buildings often already have a parts crib. A carton flow rack can replace the crib's static shelving, with each part number in its own lane and restocking from the crib's rear door. Newer MD-43 buildings can fit a larger case flow rack supermarket beside the line. Either approach keeps operators at their stations.

Lane width matches the bin, with dividers keeping each part number straight. Shallow units of two or three levels suit most workstations. Taller units serve as supermarkets where kits are assembled before going to the line. When the line changes over to a new product, lane labels and part assignments change with it. We leave spare lanes in the design so a changeover does not mean rebuilding the rack, only moving labels and dividers. ## Marine Products and Case Flow Rack Picking Marine-products suppliers near Carroll Island Road pick cases for dealers and service shops. A case flow rack line near shipping groups the busiest items in a short run. Seasonal demand swings here, so lane assignments should be reviewed before spring and again in the fall. ## Building Types Along MD-43 and Eastern Boulevard Newer distribution space along MD-43 can stack flow levels into a pick module with reserve above. Older buildings near Eastern Boulevard usually keep flow at ground level with a few beam levels above. Either way, the drawing shows lanes, aisles and restock paths together. ## Retrofitting Carton Flow Rack Into Existing Uprights If selective rack is already standing, the lowest bays can take flow shelves. A snapshot of one upright and a beam end tells us which shelf fits. Reserve pallets that need rotation fit a Middle River pallet flow system (https://baltimorepalletracks.com/service-area/middle-river/pallet-flow-rack); repeat pallets of a single part sit well in pushback rack in Middle River (https://baltimorepalletracks.com/service-area/middle-river/pushback-rack). ## Supermarkets and Kit Staging A supermarket is a central flow area where kits are built before going to the line. It holds more part numbers than any single workstation and is restocked from receiving. We lay out the supermarket so kit carts move in one direction past the lanes. Parts used together sit near each other, which shortens the kit route. For aerospace supply and defense-related contractors along the corridor, part traceability matters. Labels on lane fronts and one part per lane make audits simple. Restock paths behind the supermarket connect directly to receiving where the building allows. ## Starting in Middle River Baltimore Pallet Racks, a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., has quoted, supplied and put up rack since 1997.
