Will flow work in an older Racine plant?

Often, with shorter lanes between columns and fewer levels.

What type of rack suits finished goods?

Flow for dated goods, pushback for deep non-dated stock, selective for mixed lots.

What size rack do I need?

Lane depth is a multiple of pallet depth plus clearance. We measure your actual pallets.

Yes. We draw it, supply it, and our experienced installation crews we schedule and manage put it up.

Pallet Flow Rack in Racine, WI

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

Pallet flow rack in Racine suits consumer goods makers who ship finished product in date order. Pallets load at the rear of a lane and roll on rollers to the front.

FIFO rotation and a self-refilling face come with every lane. We are a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., selling and installing rack since 1997.

Industrial components plants in Racine often build to customer schedules, so finished parts move steadily week to week. That steady pattern is exactly what keeps flow lanes full and working. We confirm with shipment history before setting depth, so lanes neither overflow nor sit half empty between orders.

Two Kinds of Racine Buildings for Pallet Flow Rack

Racine has older plants along the Root River industrial areas and Highway 32, often 16 to 24 feet clear, plus taller buildings near Mount Pleasant and Sturtevant on I-94.

Consumer goods shipping toward Chicagoland, about 90 miles down I-94, benefit from gravity flow rack that keeps outbound stock staged.

Component makers feed assembly from flow lanes in arrival order.

Consumer goods companies shipping to Chicagoland usually load trailers on tight appointment windows. A flow block near outbound docks lets loaders pull the oldest finished goods without hunting. Receiving fills lanes from the back after production runs, so the two teams rarely meet. In older Root River plants, where docks may be limited, we sometimes set the load aisle along the production side and the pick aisle along shipping. That simple split saves a lot of forklift travel through the plant.

Older plants near Highway 32 often have uneven floors too, so we check levels at each lane location and shim during installation to keep slope consistent from entry to exit. That attention to the floor keeps pallets moving at the speed the brakes expect.

Matching Pallet Flow Racking to the Building

The same product needs different lanes in different walls.

Older plant

Lower height and tight columns favor short lanes.

Newer building

Tall open floors take multi-level blocks.

Check reach

Truck reach is confirmed at the highest lane.

Size brakes

Speed control follows pallet weight.

Racine Gravity Flow Rack Projects

Older plants get shorter lanes; tall I-94 buildings get more levels.

Finished goods pallets are usually uniform, ideal for rollers.

Brakes and separators are sized from weight.

Lanes go in phases, anchored by experienced installation crews we schedule and manage.

In Mount Pleasant and Sturtevant buildings, 32 feet clear or more is common. A pallet flow rack block there can stack several levels, while a Root River plant may fit two.

Seasonal consumer goods often build for months, then ship fast. Flow lanes keep the oldest build moving out first.

Pallet condition matters; uniform finished goods pallets usually roll well, but damaged ones should be restacked.

Brakes are spaced by weight, and separators sit at every pick face.

Industrial components plants near Highway 32 ship to assembly on fixed schedules, a steady pattern that keeps lanes full.
