Our building has additions. Can flow lanes span them?

Usually each section gets its own lanes sized to its columns and height. That keeps every lane straight and supported.

What if suppliers send poor pallets?

Restack them at receiving. Rollers need sound bottom boards running the right way to avoid hang-ups.

What type of rack do I need for raw materials?

Flow if they must be used in arrival order; pushback or selective if not. We often mix them in one plant.

How long do flow systems take to arrive?

Lead time is confirmed on the quote. Flow components generally take longer than standard teardrop parts.

Pallet Flow Rack in Menomonee Falls, WI

Name: Milwaukee Pallet Rack
Address: 7311 W Greenfield Ave., Milwaukee, WI, 53214, US
Telephone: (414) 260-3593
Price range: $$

Pallet flow rack in Menomonee Falls works for manufacturers and retail distributors who want pick faces that refill on their own. A pallet set into the back of a lane rolls forward on rollers until it reaches the front.

Oldest stock always ships first. We are a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., which has been supplying and installing since 1997.

Industrial components makers along the river corridor also move steady volumes to assembly customers. Those parts are ideal for flow lanes because demand is predictable, lanes stay full, and the oldest production run always ships first. We pull a few months of shipments to confirm before setting lane depth.

Menomonee Falls Plants Running Pallet Flow Rack

Plants along County Line Road and the Menomonee River corridor are often 24 to 30 feet clear, built in phases with different column grids. Lanes are drawn section by section.

Retail distribution users on US 45 and I-41 ship in waves. Gravity flow rack keeps wave stock staged at the face, ready for fast picking.

Manufacturers here also use flow lanes for raw materials, loading from receiving and pulling at the line in arrival order.

Retail distributors near US 45 also face seasonal resets. Lanes can be reassigned to new SKUs when the season changes, with no steel moved. That flexibility is one reason flow blocks hold their value as product mixes change. We note likely reassignments on the drawing so the next reset goes smoothly.

Keeping Pallet Flow Racking Rolling

Most problems trace back to pallets or speed. Plan for both.

Screen pallets

Damaged or mixed pallets get restacked before entering a lane.

Tune the pitch

Slope suits your full weight range so nothing stalls.

Control speed

Brakes hold heavy loads back on longer runs.

Separate at the face

The front pallet lifts freely while the queue waits.

Menomonee Falls Gravity Flow Rack Projects

We look at each building addition separately. One section may handle long lanes; another may need shorter runs to clear columns.

Pallet condition is a recurring issue in plants receiving from many suppliers. A restack station at receiving keeps damaged pallets out of lanes.

Brakes and separators are chosen from your weight range, and lane pitch is set so light and heavy loads both move.

Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage install and anchor the lanes, staging winter deliveries indoors.

Along County Line Road, plants often receive from dozens of suppliers. A pallet flow rack block works best when receiving restacks odd sizes onto a standard pallet before loading.

Brakes and separators are wear items over time. We show your team what to inspect so lanes keep moving smoothly.

For wave picking, I place the pick face nearest the outbound docks and let receiving feed from the far aisle, which keeps the two flows apart.
