Cases sit on inclined wheel beds, so every time a picker takes one, the next slides forward to the exact same spot - less reaching into depleted lanes and less time re-facing cases. Restocking happens from a separate back aisle, so replenishment can be separated from the pick line. For Nashville warehouses along the I-24, I-40, and I-65 corridors, the right layout should connect incoming stock, reserve storage, and the way orders leave the building. It's the right system when picking is by the case or the each, not the pallet, and when enough SKUs need a dedicated face that static shelving turns into a maintenance problem. Most warehouses run it in the lower levels of a bay with reserve pallets stacked above, so one footprint handles both active picking and overflow storage. We size wheel beds and lane widths to your case dimensions, pick rate, and SKU count, and show where the fastest movers should sit in the bay. (615) 703-6869 ## Why Nashville Warehouses Work With Us Local distribution orders mix case quantities with pallet shipments, and replenishment keeps crossing the active pick face. Around I-24 and I-40, that situation calls for a layout comparison tied to your own stock and building. The storage problem is measured in picks and case faces rather than whole-pallet positions. Gravity-fed wheel beds can bring the next carton forward while reserve inventory is replenished from behind. We start with your drawings, inventory records, and photographs, so the conversation stays focused on the building and loads you actually have. Use case dimensions and daily pick counts to assign lanes. Keep reserve pallets above only when the complete rack configuration and handling clearances support that arrangement. The comparison should show what you gain, what access you give up, and where staging remains available. The fastest-moving items may need several lanes to last between replenishments. Slower items need less face space, but every case must remain contained and accessible. Review reach heights, replenishment frequency, and carton variation before fixing the level arrangement. You work through the design and itemized scope with one contact at Nashville Pallet Racks, a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co. We explain component choices, confirm the proposed load ratings, and agree delivery and installation responsibilities before you order. If the product is not a fit, the alternative belongs in the discussion, not after the rack arrives. Call (615) 703-6869 to review the plan and any phasing needs. ## How Carton Flow Rack Works 1 ### 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. 2 ### 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. 3 ### Restock from behind Replenishment loads the high end of the lane from a separate aisle, so restocking is separated from the pick line, and rotation stays first in, first out automatically. 4 ### 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.

Those numbers decide wheel bed style, lane width, and how much face each SKU is worth giving up. From there we lay out the bay - how many flow levels, at what incline, and what sits above them. In most designs, the fastest movers get the golden zone at waist height, slower SKUs move to the upper or lower levels, and reserve pallets stack overhead in the same footprint. The quote itemizes frames, beams, wheel bed or track, lane dividers, front stops, and shelf-level accessories, with the layout showing lane assignments by SKU. Installation sets the incline, tests case travel with your actual cartons, and adjusts before the line goes live. The payoff is a pick line where cases present themselves, restocking stays out of the way, and lane widths can be reset whenever SKUs come and go. For a Nashville project, the drawing also needs to show where incoming loads wait, how your team replenishes active stock, and which areas must remain accessible during installation. We agree the material staging and work zones with you before deliveries are scheduled. Compare the quoted capacity with your peak inventory, not just an average week; a layout that leaves no room for a seasonal receipt may put pallets back on the floor. You receive a component list and configuration-specific load ratings, with any reuse or replacement assumptions identified. Changes to loads, beam elevations, or handling equipment should be reviewed before the system is reconfigured. 1 Phone consultation 2 CAD layout 3 Itemized quote 4 Delivery & installation ## Recent Pallet Rack Projects A look at warehouse racking systems our team has installed.
