Is flow worth it in a small Greenfield building?

For a handful of fast SKUs, yes. A small block of short lanes keeps those items flowing.

Do flow lanes need two aisles?

Yes, one to load and one to pick. That is the main space requirement to check.

How many positions fit?

Your height and the room left for two aisles decide it, and we count every spot on a free drawing.

Can I reuse existing uprights?

Possibly, if they carry lane loads and connectors match. Send photos and any labels.

Pallet Flow Rack in Greenfield, WI

Telephone: (414) 260-3593
Price range: $$

Pallet flow rack in Greenfield helps local distributors keep their busiest SKUs always ready at the pick face. Lanes slope slightly on rollers, so each new pallet loaded at the back eventually rolls to the front.

That gives first-in, first-out rotation in a compact footprint. We operate as a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., supplying and installing since 1997.

Local distribution firms near I-894 sometimes worry that flow lanes are only for big buildings. They are not. A block of six or eight short lanes can transform picking for the items that matter most, and the rest of the building stays as it is. Starting small also lets your team learn the system before expanding.

Compact Pallet Flow Rack for Greenfield

Buildings near Loomis Road and South 76th Street are often small, so short flow lanes of two to four pallets fit best.

With I-894 close, route-truck distributors load early each morning. Gravity flow rack lets pickers pull orders while receivers refill from behind.

Service parts suppliers use a few lanes for their highest-volume items and keep the rest in selective rack.

Service parts suppliers near Loomis Road ship many small orders. A flow block holding their fastest part numbers keeps pickers at one face instead of walking aisles.

A rear load aisle can sometimes share space with an existing cross aisle, which saves floor in tight buildings. We look for those opportunities on every Greenfield walk-through before adding new aisle space.

Greenfield Gravity Flow Rack, Quoted Clearly

We start small: identify the handful of SKUs that ship most, then size a lane block for them.

Short lanes still need speed control for heavy pallets, and a separator at the face.

Two aisles are required, so we check whether the building can spare a rear load aisle.

Route loading keeps going while experienced installation crews we schedule and manage build one section at a time.

Commercial supply firms along South 76th Street stock seasonal items like ice melt. A short gravity flow rack block keeps last season's stock moving out before new pallets arrive.

Picking from a self-refilling face also helps when route drivers pick their own loads early in the morning; the next pallet is always there.

Lane pitch and brakes are tuned from your lightest and heaviest pallets, so even short lanes run smoothly.

Because small buildings rarely have spare floor, we sometimes put flow lanes along an exterior wall with the load aisle shared with a dock.

When the quote comes back, it separates material, freight and installation so you can see what each piece costs.
