Carton Flow Rack in Bountiful, UT
Carton flow rack in Bountiful brings cases and totes toward the picking face on inclined roller lanes. Workers remove product from the front while replenishment enters from the rear, separating two activities that otherwise compete for aisle space. For food distributors and wholesale suppliers, the starting point is the package being handled, not simply the number of openings available.
Measure representative cartons when full, partly emptied, and worn from handling. Record tote feet, case seams, package weight, and the direction each container will travel. Those details help determine roller support, lane width, and divider placement before a layout assigns fast-moving products to convenient picking positions.
Carton flow rack lanes shaped around actual packages
An inclined bed uses gravity to advance the next container after the leading one is removed. Slope, roller spacing, and package contact surfaces must work together. A light carton with a rough underside may behave differently from a heavier plastic tote, even when their outside dimensions match.
FIFO movement depends on loading new stock behind the existing containers and withdrawing from the opposite end. Keep each lane assigned to an appropriate SKU and rotation group. Date-sensitive food cases may require separate lot assignments rather than mixing receipts and expecting the lane alone to manage traceability.
Case flow rack can support either full-case withdrawal or picking individual units from an open carton. Establish the intended method before choosing the front presentation. Operators need access to labels and contents without repeatedly lifting cartons over an obstructive retaining edge or reaching into awkward positions.
North I-15 access, with room left for receiving
Bountiful operations along 500 West and near Legacy Parkway serve the north I-15 corridor, but property entrances still determine where replenishment can wait. A wholesale supplier should map case movement from receiving to the rear loading aisle before assigning every available bay. As a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., we build on supplying and installing warehouse equipment since 1997.
Carton flow racking checks for a usable pick face
Lane widths and dividers
Allow clearance for normal carton variation without leaving packages free to turn across the lane. Position dividers around the actual travel envelope, including bowed sides and projecting tote handles.
Front presentation
Review the stopping arrangement, container opening, and picking height together. A practical presentation keeps the leading case controlled while allowing workers to reach the product they actually remove.
Rear replenishment access
Reserve working space behind the lanes for incoming cases and empty packaging. Replenishment personnel should be able to identify assignments without stepping into the active picking face.
Existing structure
For a retrofit into existing pallet rack, identify the frame and beam arrangement, connection details, condition, and available capacity. Similar dimensions do not establish that components can be connected or loaded together.
Carton flow rack planning for changing picking demand
Build lane assignments from order history and replenishment patterns. A frequently picked item may warrant adjacent lanes, while a slower product may need only a short supply at the face. Compare the time spent picking with the work required to refill each position; additional depth is not automatically useful.
Pick modules can combine gravity-fed case positions with nearby reserve storage, provided each storage level has a defined role. Review the combined loads and replenishment approach rather than treating the roller beds as an isolated addition. Preserve space for empty cartons and tote returns so those materials do not accumulate underfoot.
Check picking pace through a representative trial with the intended packages and work method. Watch for cartons that stall, skew, or press against the front stop, then adjust the proposed arrangement before broader use. Changes in packaging or product weight should prompt another review of lane behavior.
