Call (414) 260-3593." lang: en --- Image: Pallet Flow Rack warehouse storage example (https://milwaukeepalletrack.com/__l5e/assets-v1/4385a727-90de-4018-9ac2-90084f2b00ae/pallet-flow-hero.jpg) West Allis, Wisconsin # Pallet Flow Rack in West Allis, WI Pallet flow rack in West Allis can work even in older shops where room is tight, as long as lanes are planned around the building. Pallets go in one end, roll down a slight grade on rollers, and come out the other end in the order they arrived. That keeps material rotating without anyone shuffling pallets. We are a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., in the business of supplying and installing since 1997. (414) 260-3593 ## Fitting Pallet Flow Rack Into West Allis Shops West Allis has some of the oldest industrial stock around, often 16 to 24 feet clear with irregular column bays. Along Greenfield Avenue and National Avenue, we keep lanes shorter so they fit between columns. Industrial supply houses here move consumables in steady volume. Gravity flow rack keeps the oldest stock at the pick face, which matters for coated or packaged goods with shelf life. Near I-894, some light assembly shops feed work cells from flow lanes, loading from a back aisle so pickers never wait on a forklift. Shops near Greenfield Avenue sometimes have a single dock and limited yard space. In that case the load aisle often doubles as the receiving lane, and we keep the pick face on the production side so material reaches the floor in one short move. Short lanes between columns Oldest stock always at the face Sectional installs around production Image: Pallet flow rack lanes with gravity rollers installed (https://milwaukeepalletrack.com/__l5e/assets-v1/15cd4cea-e876-438d-a279-440a047a3ac5/pallet-flow-rack-2.jpg) Image: Flow racking system loaded with pallets at the pick face (https://milwaukeepalletrack.com/__l5e/assets-v1/b3f1990a-ac60-48d4-87ad-d6b2df4e1ea7/pallet-flow-rack-3.jpg) ### Greenfield and National Avenue Firms Metal fabrication, industrial supply and light assembly near I-894 work in older, tighter buildings. Metal fabrication Industrial supply Light assembly ## What Older Buildings Need From Gravity Flow Rack Fit and pallet condition decide success here more than anything else. 1 ### Find two aisles Load and pick aisles must both fit around existing columns. 2 ### Keep lanes short Two- to four-deep lanes suit tight bays and lower ceilings. 3 ### Check pallets Sound bottom boards in the right direction keep loads rolling. 4 ### Brake heavy loads Steel pallets need speed control even in short lanes. ## West Allis Pallet Flow Rack Projects, Quoted and Installed Flow lanes need two aisles, so the footprint has to work in an older floor plan. We measure columns, doors and overhead obstructions first, then decide where load and pick aisles can run. Pallet condition matters more than in static rack. Rollers need sound bottom boards running perpendicular to them. Mixed or damaged pallets should be restacked before they enter a lane. Shorter lanes still need speed control. Even a three-deep lane with heavy steel pallets benefits from a brake mid-lane. Sections go up one at a time with experienced installation crews we schedule and manage, keeping fabrication and shipping open while each zone is built. Many West Allis shops ask whether flow beats pushback. If oldest-first matters or you want a refilling pick face, pallet flow rack wins; if density with one aisle is the goal, pushback usually does. Before ordering, I like to watch a shift. How drivers handle pallets and where they set them down tells me as much about lane placement as any drawing.
