How long can lanes be in an Industrial Park building?

Fairly long in wide bays, but length should match stock held between deliveries. Longer lanes need more speed controllers.

Can wide building products ride rollers?

Usually, once overhang and board direction are confirmed. Send your widest load and we size the lane.

How much weight can a lane hold?

It depends on pallet weight times positions per lane at each level. We size rollers, beams and frames from your heaviest pallet and post load plaques.

Yes, from design through installation with experienced installation crews we schedule and manage.

Pallet Flow Rack in New Berlin, WI

Pallet flow rack in New Berlin suits packaging converters and building products distributors that move the same items by the truckload. Pallets load from a rear aisle and roll on gravity rollers to a front pick face.

Stock rotates first-in, first-out, and the face refills itself. As a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., supplying and installing since 1997, we tie each lane to your delivery rhythm.

Another New Berlin pattern: converters with two shifts load lanes on second shift and pick on first. Flow handles that naturally, since the lanes act as a buffer between production and shipping. Size each lane for one shift's output plus some cushion.

Long Pallet Flow Rack Lanes in Industrial Park Buildings

The New Berlin Industrial Park has many 24 to 30 foot clear buildings with wide bays. Those dimensions allow long lanes at four or five levels.

Near Moorland Road and I-43, converters receive rolls and ship finished pallets daily. Gravity flow rack puts receiving on one side and shipping on the other, untangling dock traffic.

Wholesale distributors in the park use flow for fast SKUs that would otherwise need constant replenishment from reserve.

Building products distributors in the park often load flatbeds as well as vans. We keep the pick face close to whichever dock handles the bulk of outbound, so heavy pallets travel the shortest distance. Lane blocks can also be split, with one side feeding each dock group, when the building has docks on two walls.

Lane Length, Slope and Speed in Pallet Flow Racking

These three settings decide how pallets travel.

Length

Set by how many pallets you hold between deliveries.

Slope

A slight pitch, tuned to load weight, keeps pallets rolling.

Speed control

Brakes along the run hold heavy loads to a walking pace.

Exit separation

The front pallet lifts out while the next one waits.

New Berlin Gravity Flow Rack Service

Building products can be heavy and wide. We check overhang and board direction, then choose rollers and brake spacing for the weight.

Long lanes need speed control at intervals so pallets arrive slowly. The exit separator lets the front pallet lift free while the queue waits.

Lane length follows your inbound frequency. Daily trucks support shorter lanes; weekly loads need more depth.

Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage handle assembly and anchoring, staging bundles where each zone is built.

Packaging converters often run film and corrugated in the same building. Those loads vary widely in weight, so I usually split them into separate lane blocks with their own brake spacing.

Moorland Road distributors also ask about floor space. Two aisles sounds like more, but a deep pallet flow rack block often replaces several selective rows and comes out ahead on positions.

When a lane stalls, the cause is almost always the pallet. A quick check at receiving saves hours of freeing stuck loads later.
