Carton Flow Rack in Pickerington, OH
In Pickerington, the call about carton flow rack almost always starts with a smaller building, usually somewhere between 10,000 and 60,000 square feet, near the Diley Road corridor or closer to the US-33 and SR-256 interchange, that got racked once at move-in and never again even as the SKU count and order volume kept climbing. The floor fills up long before anyone sits down to redraw the layout, and by the time someone asks about racking the aisles are already doing double duty as overflow storage. Compact industrial and flex buildings around Pickerington, some within sight of Pickerington Ponds Park, where every aisle decision changes the total pallet count noticeably and seasonal order swings can choke the floor for weeks at a time, mean a layout copied from another building rarely fits once you start measuring.
Cases sit on inclined wheel beds set into the lower levels of a standard bay. Each time a picker pulls a case, the next one slides forward to the same spot, and replenishment loads the lane from a separate back aisle without touching the pick line. For a Pickerington operation carrying case and each picking operations with enough active SKUs that shelving alone turns into a constant re-facing chore, usually paired with reserve pallets stacked in the levels above, that changes the math on how much of the building is actually usable storage versus floor lost to staging and workarounds. Lane width is set by carton size, so the system has to be sized to the case dimensions on hand rather than a generic bay width. We measure the building you have along the US-33 and SR-256 corridor and size the system to the pallets, cases or long material you actually move, rather than starting from a catalog layout and hoping it fits.
Why Pickerington Warehouses Work With Us
Pickerington sits at the intersection of growth along US-33 and SR-256, and the buildings in that mix were not built on one blueprint. Some sit closer to Diley Road, others closer to Pickerington Ponds Park, and clear height, column spacing and dock placement shift from one address to the next. A carton flow rack layout drawn for one of those buildings rarely transfers to another without new measurements.
Pickerington's industrial base includes smaller manufacturing, packaging and distribution operations, and each one puts different demands on a rack system. Case and each picking operations with enough active skus that shelving alone turns into a constant re-facing chore, usually paired with reserve pallets stacked in the levels above is the kind of load profile we see repeatedly in buildings around the Diley Road corridor, so the beam, frame or arm sizing we land on tends to track what is actually sitting on the dock rather than a generic spec.
At the Pickerington pick face, the important measurement is the case rather than the pallet. Lane widths, replenishment quantities and walking distances belong in the same consultation so case storage does not become a separate project from the warehouse layout.

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 Pickerington Carton Flow Rack Project Includes
Work on a carton flow rack project for a Pickerington building starts with the load itself: pallet or case dimensions, weight, how the material is packaged, and the lift equipment moving it through the dock. Those numbers, not a catalog default, decide beam length, frame depth, arm spacing or lane pitch.
Cases sit on inclined wheel beds set into the lower levels of a standard bay. Each time a picker pulls a case, the next one slides forward to the same spot, and replenishment loads the lane from a separate back aisle without touching the pick line. For buildings around the Diley Road corridor and the US-33/SR-256 area, we draw the lane count, bay dimensions and aisle widths against the clear height and column spacing of the actual space, then return a position count alongside an itemized price broken out by component.
Where case and each picking operations with enough active SKUs that shelving alone turns into a constant re-facing chore, usually paired with reserve pallets stacked in the levels above, we compare the proposed system against a plain selective layout of the same footprint so the position gain and the cost per position are both visible before anything is ordered. Steel gets scheduled once the layout is approved, with delivery staged against the receiving and shipping windows the operation already runs on.
Installation crews anchor and plumb every frame, install decking, rails or carts as the system calls for, then label each bay and post the rated capacity so the floor team knows the limits at a glance. Work is phased so the rest of the building keeps operating, and the same crew that installs the system handles later changes — additional bays, elevation changes or a teardown if the operation eventually moves.
