Pallet flow loads pallets at the high end of a gravity lane and lets them roll, under brake control, to a pick face at the low end, so first in is always first out without anyone tracking it by hand. A single flow lane can run five to twenty pallets deep, which means one pick face often represents a large share of what a building actually holds. We size lane depth and incline around pallet weight and condition for the product moving through the I-70/I-270 loop, then price that layout against pushback and selective for the same footprint so the FIFO ensure is weighed against what it costs in positions. 614-379-4436 ## Why Columbus Warehouses Work With Us Rotation obligations tied to a customer contract or a shelf-life date are the clearest reason a Rickenbacker-area operator needs pallet flow instead of pushback, since pushback only ensures rotation at the lane level, not the pallet level. Flow lanes make pallet-level FIFO automatic instead of something staff have to enforce by habit. Pallet condition decides roller selection as much as weight does. Full-width rollers tolerate a rough pallet pool with broken bottom boards far better than skate-wheel tracks do, and most lane jams we get called about trace back to pallet condition that wasn't flagged before the roller type was chosen, so we ask about it before specifying anything. A flow lane needs clear aisle access at both the load end and the pick end, which eats more building depth than a selective layout along the I-70/I-270 loop and near Groveport Road requires. We model lane count and depth against your actual throughput so you don't end up with lanes too shallow to justify the steel or too deep to ever cycle through.

Third-party logistics Retail distribution Food and beverage Light manufacturing ## How Pallet Flow Rack Works Load one side, pick the other, and let gravity enforce first in, first out. 1 ### Load end Pallets enter at the high end of the lane. Each new pallet stages behind the one before it, so put-away is a single move made from the load-side aisle. 2 ### Gravity conveyor Full-width rollers or skate-wheel tracks, set on a pitch calculated for the pallet weight, carry loads forward under control rather than free rolling. 3 ### Braking and separation Brake rollers and pallet separators regulate travel and stop pallets from bunching, protecting both the product and the structure underneath it. 4 ### Pick end Pickers work a face of first-in pallets. Pull one and the next indexes forward automatically, so the pick aisle stays organized without anyone re-facing stock. ## What a Columbus Pallet Flow Rack Project Includes We start a Columbus pallet flow project by pinning down exactly what moves through the lane: pallet weight, bottom-board condition, and how many pallets of one SKU turn over in a typical week near Rickenbacker, West Broad industrial and the Northeast Corporate Park. From there we set lane count and depth against that throughput. Fewer, deeper lanes store more per pick face; more, shallower lanes give food and beverage and distribution operators a wider SKU mix at the pick level. Both configurations get modeled with a position count so the tradeoff is visible before you buy. The itemized quote covers frames, beams, rail and roller assemblies, brakes, and entry and exit guides. Installation crews set lane pitch, test loaded travel in every lane, and tune brakes before the system is turned over, with work scheduled around your dock hours along the I-70/I-270 loop. You come away with documented lane capacities and a lane map your team can hand to new hires as the lanes near Rickenbacker accumulate cycles. That same lane specification extends cleanly into an adjacent bay in the West Broad industrial area if throughput grows later, and the position counts modeled at the outset stay the reference point for any later change.
