Floor stacking and even standard selective rack both rely on a person remembering what came in first, and that breaks down the moment volume climbs. Pallet flow rack removes the guesswork by loading pallets at the high end of a lane and letting gravity roll the oldest one forward to the pick face automatically. Operators running import distribution, third-party logistics and freight consolidation near Rickenbacker, I-270 and Columbus Logistics Park South usually have a short list of SKUs that move in real volume and carry dates, lots or shelf life that cannot be mishandled. A flow lane built around those SKUs turns rotation from a procedure your team has to remember into something the rack enforces on its own, every time a pallet is pulled. 614-379-4436 ## Why Obetz Warehouses Work With Us Buildings around I-270 and the Rickenbacker interchange vary in clear height, and flow lanes need an aisle on both the load end and the pick end, so the layout has to account for that extra access space before a single roller is specified. Obetz operators in import distribution, third-party logistics and freight consolidation typically have a handful of fast-turning, date-sensitive SKUs representing most of their volume. That is the profile where flow pays for itself fastest, since a few deep lanes behind a small number of pick faces can represent a large share of stored product. Pallet condition matters more here than in most other systems, and freight moving through Rickenbacker, I-270 and Columbus Logistics Park South does not always arrive on pristine pallets. Specifying full-width rollers instead of spaced tracks where pallets are rough keeps the lane running without hang-ups. Because the rollers and brakes are matched to the exact pallet weight moving through the lane, travel speed stays consistent even as case counts on a pallet vary from one receipt to the next.

Import distribution Third-party logistics Retail fulfillment Freight consolidation ## 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 Obetz Pallet Flow Rack Project Includes Design starts with what is actually moving through the lane: pallet weight, bottom-board condition, and how many pallets of each SKU pass through in a typical cycle for a Obetz operation near Rickenbacker, I-270 and Columbus Logistics Park South. Separator spacing is set so pallets do not bunch against each other mid-travel, which protects both the load and the rail underneath it. From there we set lane count and depth against that throughput. Fewer, deeper lanes store more; more, shallower lanes give the pick face more SKU variety, and both get modeled with a position count for import distribution, third-party logistics and freight consolidation freight moving through I-270 and the Rickenbacker interchange. Brake roller placement is confirmed against pallet weight before the lane is loaded for the first time. The quote covers frames, beams, roller or wheel-track assemblies, brakes, separators and entry and exit guides, itemized so the added cost per position is visible against a selective or pushback alternative. At installation the crew sets lane pitch, tests loaded travel pallet by pallet, and tunes the brake rollers before the system goes live. A lane map goes to your team afterward, and lanes can be re-pitched if case sizes or pallet weights shift.
