Carton Flow Rack in Newark, OH
Carton flow rack comes up in Newark once case picking outgrows static shelving. Regional distributors and industrial manufacturers around Newark Industrial Park and the Port Authority campus along Thornwood Drive often reach a point where the active SKU count makes constant shelf re-facing a daily task, and that's typically what starts the conversation.
Cases sit on inclined wheel beds built into the lower levels of a standard bay. Each time a picker pulls a case from the front, the next one slides forward to take its place, and replenishment loads the lane from a separate back aisle without crossing the pick line. Reserve pallets commonly sit on the levels above the flow beds, so one bay covers both the pick face and its backup stock.
Why Newark Warehouses Work With Us
Buildings along the SR-16 corridor near the Heath-Newark-Licking County Port Authority range from older shells near Thornwood Drive to newer construction closer to SR-16, and bay heights differ enough that a carton flow layout needs its own measurements rather than a reused plan.
Newark's regional distributors and industrial manufacturers often carry enough active SKUs that flat shelving turns into constant re-facing. Sizing the wheel beds to the actual carton dimensions moving through Newark Industrial Park and the Port Authority campus, rather than a standard bay width, keeps the pick face usable instead of overcrowded or half-empty.
Operating out of Licking County means carton dimensions, bay heights and replenishment aisle widths are checked against the real building in person, which matters because carton flow lanes are sized tightly and don't forgive a layout built on rough estimates. We keep site notes and measurements on file after the first visit to Newark, so a follow-up visit or a later phase of the same project does not start from a blank sheet.

How Carton Flow Rack Works
Cases advance to the picker instead of the picker hunting for cases.
Inclined wheel beds
A full-width wheel bed or roller track sits on a slight incline inside a standard bay, so cases move forward under their own weight without power.
Pick from a fixed position
The picker always reaches for the same forward spot in the lane. Travel time drops, and so does the time spent searching for the next case.
Restock from behind
Replenishment loads the high end of the lane from a separate aisle, so restocking never blocks or slows the pick line, and rotation stays first in, first out automatically.
One lane per SKU
Lane dividers set the width for each case size, giving every SKU its own face - a width that can be resized as your product mix shifts.
What a Newark Carton Flow Rack Project Includes
A carton flow rack project for a Newark operation starts with the cartons: dimensions, weight, and how many active SKUs need a dedicated pick face. Those numbers set the wheel bed width, lane length and how many levels go to flow versus reserve storage.
Cases load onto inclined wheel beds from the back aisle and travel forward as each case is picked from the front. Because the pick aisle and replenishment aisle are separate, a picker working the front of the bay doesn't have to stop for a restocking cart working the back.
For buildings around Newark Industrial Park and the Port Authority campus along Thornwood Drive, the bay layout is drawn against the real column spacing and clear height, with reserve pallet levels stacked above the flow beds where ceiling height allows. That layout is compared to a flat-shelving arrangement on the same footprint so the pick-face gain is visible before ordering.
Installation crews set wheel beds level and anchor the frames, then check carton travel on each lane before loading. Levels are labeled with SKU slot assignments where needed, and lanes can be re-pitched later if carton sizes change without replacing the surrounding frame. Any revisions to the layout after the initial walkthrough are priced and documented before steel is ordered, so the scope stays tied to what was actually measured on site.
